Mumbai win a thriller beside T & T


The Mumbai Indians protected a last-ball one-wicket victory over Trinidad and Tobago in their Nokia Champions League Twenty20 clash in Bangalore.

Chasing a meager 99 to win and go to the top of Pool A, Yuzvendra Chahal took two from Sherwin Ganga's last ball of the match to drive his side over the line.

Batting first after winning the toss, T&T started well and were nicely placed on 41 for one when Lendl Simmons was inaccurately run out on 21, signalling the start of a collapse.

Harbhajan Singh (three for 22) was the main attacker, well backed by Lasith Malinga (two for 22) as Jason Mohammed (23) top scored.

The tone for Mumbai's chase was set early, although, as Ravi Rampaul (three for 17) ripped throughout their top order to leave them almost out of the game at 16 for four.

But Ambati Rayudu stood firm for 36 and, in spite of nine wickets falling, there was just sufficient time left for Chahal to win the game.

Teams:

Mumbai Indians: Aiden Blizzard, Sarul Kanwar, Tirumalasetti Suman, Abu Nechim, Dilhara Fernando, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Yuzvendra Chahal, Andrew Symonds, James Franklin, Kieron Pollard, Rajagopal Sathish, Ambati Rayudu, Davy Jacobs

Trinidad and Tobago: Adrian Barath, Daren Ganga, Darren Bravo, Jason Mohammed, Lendl Simmons, Dave Mohammed, Ravi Rampaul, Samuel Badree, Shannon Gabriel, Sunil Narine, Kevon Cooper, Rayad Emrit, Sherwin Ganga, Denesh Ramdin, William Perkins
