| Well, friends, Mumbai Indians end their IPL campaign on a high with this emphatic win over the Bangalore Royal Challengers. The Royal Challengers end this tournament the way they started it and that too infront of their home crowd. They never posted a daunting total and it was always going to be tough for their bowlers to tie down the Mumbai Indians. Sanath Jayasuriya and Sachin Tendulkar started off really well and laid a brilliant foundation for the run chase. After that, it was all a formality to knock off the remaining runs and Mumbai did that rather comfortably. Both the teams are out of the race of the Semis and that ends their campaign in this season. Hopefully, both the sides will come back with a bang next year to silence all their critics. Hope you have enjoyed game. Don't go anywhere though since there's another intriguing battle going on between the Royals and Kings XI. Enjoy! |
