Playing all range of shorts in the Powerplay, though he was assisted by two dropped catches by the Mumbai fielders as he went onto smash a fifty of his own. He though soon departed after his hal |
Mumbai started bowling with a plan but soon were proven as mere spectators as Finch went bang bang in the middle. Though they regrouped during the time out as they got their first breakthrough in the 9th over. Further they did enough to pull the game back during the middle overs with the bowling of Rahul Chahar and the pacers. Rohit was brilliant in rotating his bowlers but as has been the case in this year's Indian T20 League the bowlers are taken to the cleaners during the last 5 overs and tha |
