Mumbai will be pretty pleased to reach 151/9 in their 20 overs after some poor batting in the middle overs. Bangalore got off to a great start, striking a couple times. Tendulkar (25) and Tiwary (25) then got a stand but Vinay Kumar triggered a fine collapse in the 11th over in which the bowler bagged 3 wickets to give his side a commanding situation.
Some valuable runs came in towards the end from Sathish (24), Pollard (21) and specially from Zaheer (23* off 9) which helped Mumbai cross the 150-run mark. Steyn (3/26) and P.Kumar (3/25) bowled really well for Bangalore along with the other bowlers. Mumbai have got the momentum after that cameo from Zaheer towards the end and will look to build on it
Bangalore complete a fine 7-wicket win over Mumbai to get to the top of the table, handing the home side their first loss of the season.Chasing 152, Kallis (66*) and Pandey (40) once again got going at the top providing Bangalore with a steady and strong start. Uthappa (23) and Kohli (17) played handy knocks before departing but Kallis, who is yet to be dismissed in this years edition, once again sealed a safe win for his side. His all-round performance also yielded him the Man of the Match award. The total was chased down by Bangalore in the last over with 5 balls to spare
