So then that is all from us. Mumbai have jumped to the 3rd spot. Much needed win for the home team. We will be back with the game tomorrow, Rising Pune Supergiants will take on Gujarat Lions. We will be back with the ball by ball coverage. See you then. Take care, good night!
Rohit Sharma has been adjudged as the Man of the Match: "It was a good game and we wanted this win badly We stuck to our plans though we dropped a lot of catches. We batted brilliantly. Pollard's form was crucial and he is peaking at the right time. This is going to be our last game here. The support has been superb here. I want to thank the crowd. Mumbai always enjoy perfect cricket. They have been wanting to see Pollard fire. I don't know what's our home venue, but we have to go out there and play good cricket."
Gautam Gambhir: "We are not going to give excuses. We did not bowl well. We are around 15 runs short. I thought we needed an innings like Pollard did. They deserved to win. I am not going to take about the dew. The dew, toss is not in my hand. We are professional cricketers and need to adapt to the conditions."
Rohit Sharma dropped anchor and saw the innings through, Rayudu played an able support role and Buttler too provided some spark, but then Pollard came out and won the game.
This match was in the balance after 13 overs, Pollard sauntered out and smashed a 50 of 17 balls, this is a proper annihilation of a bowling attack. Mumbai are well on their way in the tournament, once again peaking at the right time.
17.6 Unadkat to Kieron Pollard, SIX! MUMBAI WIN by 6 wickets! Low full toss outside off from around the stumps and Pollard smashes that high and long in the air over long off for another six to finish off the match. 50 for Pollard! He finishes on 51 off just 17 balls, takes off his helmet, blows a kiss! Farewell Wankhede, memories to cherish no doubt.
17.4 Unadkat to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Low full toss outside off, Pollard just swings through the line of the ball and sends it soaring in the air and finally ends up beyond the long on fence. That ball had hang time, came down with snow on it.
17.3 Unadkat to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Length ball outside off, Pollard smashed it over cow corner for another humongous six! Pollard has come put with that trunk of his and has snatched the game away from KKR. This is brutal hitting, who said he was out of form! Unadkat has been off colour here and he has bled runs.
17.2 Unadkat to Kieron Pollard, 2 runs, full ball on middle, Pollard bludgeons it past the bowler towards long off. The Windies are so silky, Pollard drives it with brute force, Russell the athlete runs across, slides and saves the ball. What a sight!
16.5 Narine to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Low full toss on middle, Rohit sits down and sweeps it past the man at square leg for another four. He got down low and placed it with grace. He has timed the chase so well.
15.6 Sathish to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Another slower ball on middle, Pollard backs away and lifts it over deep midwikcet to send it high and long for the best and the longest of the three that came this over. Told ya, this over might swing the match, oh yes it has.
15.4 Sathish to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Full ball on leg, Pollard clears his leg and smashes the ball over deep midwicket. Sathish bowls a slower ball but bowls it in the arc of Pollard who swings that tree.
