End of match: Mumbai win by 27 runs but the match looked a lot closer than that. That over from Malinga was the turning point. Gave Mumbai the edge, but it was still not yet over. In a match of so many individual performances, the evening belonged to Pollard - 4 for 44 of 4.
Kevon Cooper hands over the Purple Cap to Munaf. So Mumbai are right on top with six points and Rajasthan drop to fourth.

Presentation starts: Noticed how Nita Ambani always stands in attention like she's in a school assembly?
Dravid: "We thought we had a chance. We were under the pump a little bit. Little panic among the youngsters. There are positives."

Harbhajan: "Malinga you can bring him any time. If Shah had batted three more overs the game would have finished. The dew was a problem, but when you have 197 on board, the opposition still has to keep the score moving."

Man of the Match Pollard: "The team needed that impetus. Royals played really well, but we knew 10-11 runs every over would be difficult, fantastic atmosphere. You can say that (Mumbai my second home)."
Thanks for your company today and the mails. We'll see you again tomorrow. Cheers!
