Mishra has finished it as if nothing has happened in the last three overs, steps down, gets to the pitch, and chips it over midwicket for a big six - no power, all timing. Thanks for coming Mumbai
MI vs Daredevils, 55th match at Centurion, IPL, May 21 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Daredevils won by 4 wickets (with 15 balls remaining)
Presentation time:
Last words from Sachin Tendulkar this IPL: "We batted well, but the bowling was not up to the mark. Credit to Gauti and Viru, whose strokeplay turned the whole game. We have been good with the ball in the tournament, so over all I wouldn't blame the bowlers."
Virender Sehwag: I am pretty happy with my performance. I knew a good innings was around the corner. We have given everybody opportunities to play in this IPL, they have all done well. We are looking forward to the semis, I have got back in form, so it's good for my team.
Sehwag is also the Man of the Match. See you Viru in the semis. See you Sachin next year. Okay bye

So Delhi stumbled a bit in face of Harbhajan, but perhaps Sehwag and Gambhir had done enough by then. The last game for Mumbai ends in disappointment. And Sehwag seems to have come back to form. It has gone all right for Delhi today, they will be playing tomorrow again. Against one of the two teams who play tonight - Bangalore Royal Challengers and Deccan Chargers.
that should end it, too short, Mishra, looking to step down, stays back, and has a wide off-side field to choose from, goes cover and finds the gap
thrown up, chipped over midwicket coolly for two
12 required in three overs. Duminy to bowl - slip and leg gully
superb over, thrown up again, around the off stump, and Karthik defends off the back foot. Harbhajan has turned the game around, but not enough perhaps. Malinga has been bowled out
throws it up, a bit too short, outside off, and played down towards mid-on for one
Mishra, who took a hat-trick last year, has to deny Harbhajan one now.
This may as well be a Test match - a slip, a gully, a leg slip, a silly point
Harbhajan is on a hat-trick again! Delhi are falling apart. Big offbreak, and goes through the big gate between bat and pad. Expecting a doosra perhaps? In the end he defends outside the line and presents the stumps wide open.
What are we up to? Three quick wickets, 13 still required. Karthik comes in. Bhatia to face
and he has chipped it straight to deep midwicket, are we in for another thriller? this one was thrown up on the off stump, AB went for the impulsive chip, connecting it too well and the ball carries to the Nayar
full and straight, and defended back to the bowler
and throws it up now, and turns it down the leg side
If that missed run-out wasn't the decisive moment this one surely is? Gets an edge with a topspinner again, it flies between keeper and slip, Rahane standing too wide
18 off 24, two tight overs. Interesting? Hmmm
Harbhajan bowling with a Test field
another flighted delivery, and almost runs AB out, Bhatia doesn't go for the run because it has gone straight to extra cover, where Dhawal doesn't pick up the ball cleanly and AB is back. Decisive moment?
tosses it up, and played straight to mid-on
hurries him up with a quicker one, and played back towards the bowler
thrown up now, gets across and chips it into the leg side
floated in, short, and played towards midwicket
a slip and a leg slip in
thrown up outside off, and driven straight down the ground
20 to get in the last five overs. Mumbai Indians need a repeat of the last over. Like now.
Duminy to bowl
thrown up, slower, turned away into the leg side
big shout, superbly bowled again, the topspinner again, beats Bhatia's outside edge, all the close-in fielders go up, and Harbhajan thinks he has got him, but there is daylight between bat and ball, replays show
that's close, spinning in sharply towards the middle stump, and Ab gets his bat down in time, playing it towards square leg
AB to face the hat-trick ball, slip, silly point, and leg slip in
that's two big wickets in two balls, the topspinner beats Sehwag, who doesn't pick it, is late into the shot, and plays inside the line. The off stump goes for a walk, Harbhajan is on a hat-trick
gets a wicket now, thrown up, the doosra, Dilshan goes for the slog-sweep, goes too square, and gets the top edge, a skier is well held by Pinal
dropped, short and smashed back the bowler, Harbhajan stretches his hand out, but it doesn't stick. Sehwag gets to his fifty
