Cricket: Pollard steers Mumbai to last-gasp IPL win over Chennai

02 May 2021 03:36AMNEW DELHI: Kieron Pollard hit an unbeaten 87 off 34 balls to power Mumbai Indians to a thrilling four-wicket Indian Premier League win over old rivals Chennai Super Kings on Saturday .

"It was one of the best T20 wins I have ever been a part of. I have never seen a chase like that before," said Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma.Chennai missed a chance to pull away from their rivals at the top of the IPL standings. They still lead Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore on net run rate, with all three teams on five wins from seven matches.The game is always one of the most tense as Mumbai have won five IPL titles and Chennai are their closest rivals with three.

In reply, Quinton de Kock and Sharma put on 71 for the first wicket but the required run rate kept mounting.Pollard and Krunal Pandya put on 89 for the fourth wicket and he was then helped by Hardik Pandya who made 16 from seven balls as Mumbai fought their way back. Bottom-of-the-table Sunrisers Hyderabad have meanwhile made New Zealander Kane Williamson captain in place of Australian David Warner.
