Mumbai Vs Punjab
Match date :- 12.05.2009
Mumbai won by 8 wickets
The VIP boxes at
Supersport Park gave an exact picture of what happened on the field in the match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI PunjabThe blue flags were all over the place, the red and white ones slowly kept disappearing. Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani sat in the dugout celebrating through the evening while Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia, co-owners of Kings XI, were hardly noticed anywhere around. It was a crucial encounter here that went in favour of Mumbai easily as West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo smashed a sizzling half-century to help his side easily chase a mere 120 runs. Sachin Tendulkar’s team won the match by eight wickets, thus climbing up the points table to share the fourth spot with Team Jaipur. Yuvraj Singh’s team, on the other hand, had only themselves to blame for a poor display batting first, going down to the sixth spot in the rankings. The last time these two teams met in this tournament, on April 29, Kings XI had scored exactly the same total as they did on Tuesday - 119 - and still won by three runs in a scintillating encounter. On Tuesday though, Bravo had other ideas and he spelt it out for all those who were expecting the Kings to get lucky again. The right-hander clubbed seven fours and three sixes in his knock of 70 and remained unbeaten as Mumbai romped home.
Bangalore Vs Kolkata

Bangalore won against kolkata
Ross Taylor guided the Royal Challengers to a stunning six-wicket victo
ry over the hapless Kolkata Knight Riders, here on Tuesday. Ross Taylor smashed an unbeaten 81 runs as he sealed the royal win with a six. Brendon McCullum's valiant effort of 84 runs went in a losing cause as the Knight Riders failed to defend the target of 173 runs that they had set for the Royal Challengers.
McCullum opened the bowling with two of his best bowlers, Ishant Sharma and Ajantha Mendis. Jesse Ryder though had enough class to pull a delivery from Sharma over the deep backward square boundary for a four. The two bowled in perfect tandem till Ajit Agarkar was introduced into the attack. The Mumbai bowler promptly leaked two boundaries to Kallis, including one inside out shot for six over the extra cover area.
Ryder and Kallis motored along as they put forth a 50 run partnership in 6.5 overs. The pair ran hard and collected singles at every given opportunity. The opening partnership was broken by Murali Kartik. Kallis rocked onto the backfoot and hit his delivery towards McCullum, who leapt in the air to take a blistering catch. Kallis departed for a well made 32 runs. Ryder went to the dug out soon, scoring 22 runs, after he holed out to Saurav Ganguly at third man off the bowling of Agarkar. The Royal Challengers finished at a respectable 70 runs for the loss of two wickets at the end of the first ten overs.
Ryder's departure brought Robin Uthappa to the crease. He though did not last for long, caught in the deep by Angelo Matthews off a Kartik delivery. Ross Taylor howver put the foot down the accelerator as hit back to back sixes and fours off Kartik and Angelo Matthews, respectively. The New Zealander smashed a scintillating fifty in just 24 balls. Affter Dravid's fall for 12 runs, Mark Boucher came in and stepped up the run rate. Boucher took heavy toll of Ishant Sharma's over dispatching him for two fours and a six and that swung the match in Bangalore's favour. Ajit Agarkar was asked to bowl a crucial over but he only succeeded in letting his team down as Ross Taylor whacked two sixes as Challengers collected 16 runs of his over.
Earlier, Kolkata Knight Riders were put into bat after Royal Challengers Bangalore Captain Anil Kumble won the toss and elected to field. The KKR innings was off to a poor start as Ganguly edged Vinay Kumar's delivery straight into the hands of wicket-keeper Boucher. He went after scoring just four runs. Further damage was done when Kumar got the wicket of Arindam Ghosh. At 21 for the loss of two wickets, David Hussey walked in played a stunning on-drive to the fence.
The rub of the green went the Knight Riders way as an edge from David Hussey fell short of Boucher, later on, Captain McCullum's edge went past the keeper again. In between these flying edges, David Hussey mis-hit two hits to the fence. the first one was six which went over the covers and then followed by a four which travelled over point. The Trans-Tasman duo pushed the run rate and the Knight Riders finished up with 69 runs at the end of the first ten overs. Speeding on at 8.40 runs per over in the last five overs.
David Hussey looked on song until he was castled by Balachandra Akhil's medium pace. Hussey played across the line trying to pull the ball for a boundary and could only end up to see his stumps shattered by a straight delivery. The Australian made 43 runs and stitched a partnership of 70 runs with the KKR skipper. McCullum pulled Akhil over wide backward square leg for a six and brought up his maiden IPL fifty.
McCullum attacked the Challenger's bowling with unsparing weapons. He took 15 runs of Vinay Kumar's over, scooping two boundaries over the fine leg region. He then went onto dismantle Jacques Kallis, pulling his no-ball full toss to backward square area and then guided a yorker for a boundary at the third man. The final ball of the Knight Riders innings was smacked for a six over the midwicket boundary. The Knight Riders finished with a total of 173 runs on the board for the loss of four wickets. Captain McCullum ended with an outstanding knock of 84 runs. With no hopes of making it to the finals, all the pressure on him had lifted, and it invariably reflected in his explosive innings
