Kings XI Punjab wins the last over thriller! Upsets Mumbai!

Kings XI Punjab pulled off a dramatic win over Mumbai Indians in a low scoring encounter. The pitch was not favorite for batting and against expectations, Yuvi decided to bat. Kings XI managed to score 119 and set 6 runs per over target for Sachin's Mumbai Indians.

It was thought to be a easy target, with the way they played the previous game against KKR.

But, Sachin and Jayasuria fell cheaply for 1 and 0 respectively. The middle order also did not stay long and lost wickets regularly.

Poor shot selection by Bravo turned the match. He hit a six but got out in the next ball trying for another six. The team already lost 2 wickets with 4 on the board and he should have played a sensible innings.

Duminy scored 59 and tried his best to give a victory to MI but fell on the last over 4th ball.

The last over required 12, bowled by Abdulla. The first ball was 2 runs, 2nd ball was no run, but the next ball was a wide.

4 Balls, 9 runs, Duminy on strike. He scored another 2 in the 3rd ball, but fell caught inches away from boundary going for a six over mid wicket.

Last 2 balls needed 7 runs, and SS Tiwari scored 2, last ball required 5. A four would have pushed for the 2nd super-over, but he managed only a single at extra cover.

Kings XI Punjab 119 for 8 in 20 overs (Goel 12, Sangakkara 45, Yuvaraj 10, Malinga 2 for 12) beat Mumbai Indians 116 for 7 in 20 overs (Duminy 59, Bravo 15, Nayar 15, Irfan Pathan 2 for 20, Abdulla 2 for 19)
