Now is this the momentum that the Mumbai Indians needed? They have finally arrived with a comprehensive win over the Knightriders who were outplayed in all the departments. The Mumbai Indians were on a mission today and right from the moment they took the field, they meant business. They started off with a bang pegging back the Knightriders with a heap of early wickets. The target was never daunting but the Knightriders got themselves a small opening with three quick wickets at the top. That dropped chance of Uthappa proved costly as he went on to hold a century run stand with Bravo. Finally, a sigh of relief for all those who had been rooting for Mumbai. Hope you've enjoyed today's game. Do join us tomorrow for the match between Delhi and Bangalore. Till then from all of us here in the comm box, Adios...
