Awesome win for Auckland. I read Mumbai's team perfectly and seeing he had three spinners, I did the same. But it was the fast bowlers who stood out along with Smith who was excellent. Batting wasn't great but with such a small total to chase, it wouldn't matter if we lost some wickets. Good to get the bonus point as well.
 
Matt, you're awesome!

I read Mumbai's team perfectly and seeing he had three spinners, I did the same.

Absolutely. The moment I saw your playing XI, I always felt you guys were the team to end their unbeaten run and rightly so.

I think we pass you after that win.

Yep, Auckland are top ATM with 9 points from 3 games, Mumbai and Delhi are second and third respectively with 8.
 
Talking about our game, it was totally waste :(

Bowling was spectacular. We didn't allow them to score good runs and wickets came at proper times. No complaints about that at all.

Our lower-order batsmen who did play well is many of the previous games were totally useless. It's unbelievable to see the slow play of Abdul Razzaq, White. :facepalm Disgusting

We could have easily won that man ! :facepalm
