Malinga 0-21(4 ov)
17.6
Malinga to Smith, 1 run, now this is a yorker again, straight at it, and Smith read it right away. Waits and squeezes it out round the corner. 23 needed off the last two overs!
17.5
Malinga to Smith, FOUR, that's brave. Very brave. Smith has shuffled across, opening his stance and waiting for this full, dipping ball on leg-stump. And he connects. Woah. Whips it through backward square, uppishly, and nails home a boundary!
17.4
Malinga to Smith, no run, it says 139ks. He's put in every ounce of his strength into this and nutmegged Smith with this stunning yorker. Through his legs! But the inswing and Smith's stance meant that the ball missed the leg-stump
17.3
Malinga to Manoj Tiwary, 1 run, mid-off has a shy at the striker's end but Smith is in. Manoj Tiwary had his front leg out of the way to have some room for the drive. Did so but the fielder there was brilliant. Rohit, I reckon
17.2
Malinga to Smith, 1 run, now a stunning yorker on the stumps at 135ks. And it's dipping too, transmogrifying itself into a low full toss. Smith has just worked it to long-on. Not much you could have done
17.1
Malinga to Smith, no run, gets a full and wide ball because he backed away way too early. And all Smith can do is reach out and toe-end a slap. What a waste of premeditation. 30 off 17
14.6
Malinga to Smith, 2 runs, this was what he was trying.. A fullish ball slanted across round-armishly from over the wicket, but Smith quells it with a beauty of a drive. Had the room to unleash it right away and then they run two, again. Mark these balls. They are coupling home a win
14.6
Malinga to Smith, wide, an Airbus 380 of a wide outside off. Slips out, because that's the only consolation I have as an ageing Malinga fan
14.5
Malinga to Smith, no run, now how did that miss? A searing yorker that's caught the toe-end in front of leg-stump, as Smith looks to jam it out, and rebounds off the front heel to polish the leg-stump! You would want a luck like that
14.4
Malinga to Dhoni, 1 run, bottom hands. Gone are the days when loose wrists meant you aren't man enough. Dhoni shuffles across and whips one to fine leg. And does it so emphatically. And powerfully
14.3
Malinga to Dhoni, no run, he's got some bat on this wide yorker, has he? Because the ball darts in after Dhoni lunges across to squeeze it out. Well wide of the keeper behind the wicket and towards leg-side. Now let that go already. Enough harping on a Malinga yorker
14.2
Malinga to Smith, 1 run, shimmies out and gets a full fast ball. Well, 133ks is Malinga's fast at the moment. Inside-edged through mid-wicket. Moral victory for him. Good start
14.1
Malinga to Dhoni, 1 run, slower ball on the pad and Dhoni has aeons to judge it and tickle a single round the corner
5.6
Malinga to Rahane, no run, waits on the slower ball and keeps it out comfortably
5.5
Malinga to Rahane, no run, back of a length, sticking in the pitch, Rahane blocks
5.4
Malinga to Rahane, FOUR, terrific shot. That raced off his blade. Full outside off, may have been another slower ball, and Rahane laces it through the cover region with a sizzling front foot drive
5.3
Malinga to Smith, 1 run, plays the slower ball in the direction of mid-on
5.2
Malinga to Rahane, 1 run, another missed opportunity. It's not the most straightforward as Hardik has to hit the stumps from around 15-20 yards, but Mumbai have to make the most of the margins they've confined themselves to. Smith would have been short with a direct-hit. It's a needless single after Rahane patted a slower ball in the direction of backward point. But it was Smith's call
5.1
Malinga to Rahane, no run, slower ball in line with middle, Rahane glances it to short fine leg
3.6
Malinga to Rahane, no run, nudges it defensively beside the pitch
3.5
Malinga to Rahane, no run, now Rahane watches the slower ball carefully and blocks off the front foot
3.4
Malinga to Rahane, no run, done in by the slower ball .. and dropped. Krunal Pandya of all people. That's a sitter at short extra-cover. Just that Krunal is indecisive whether to go with fingers pointing up or down. Slower back of a length delivery outside off, Rahane doesn't see it and is early into the shot. All he does is bunt it in the air. Krunal jumps up - which he didn't need to do had he gone with fingers pointing up. His arms are too cramped around the chest, and the ball pops out
3.3
Malinga to Smith, 1 run, short of length around off, nothing that Smith can't clip through the on-side. He works it with those wrists to deep backward square
3.2
Malinga to Smith, no run, slower dipping full toss which Smith sees all the way through before nudging to mid-on
3.1
Malinga to Rahane, 1 run, back of a length on middle, Rahane tucks it to deep backward square
