Mumbai Indians win by 2 wickets
| Chennai Super Kings | 173-8 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Mumbai Indians | 174-8 (20 ovs) |
Over 20. 16 runs. Bowler: Ben Hilfenhaus. Mumbai Indians: 174/8(rr 8.70)
FOUR! Hilfenhaus to Smith. Full toss, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. Dwayne Smith is the hero of the evening! Hilfenhaus missed his length three times in a row and Smith sent them all to the boundary to give his team an emphatic victory! The partnership between Tendulkar and Sharma played a key role for Mumbai but the catch that Du Plessis took to dismiss Tendulkar really turned things around and gave Chennai hope. Mumbai's middle order collapsed but Dwayne Smith stepped up and took it upon himself to win it for the home fans. There is more IPL action today at 14:30 GMT when Royal Challengers Bangalore play host to Deccan Chargers.

IPL 2012 – Match 49
Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings
Sun 6 May 2012, 11:30am BST, 04:00pm local
Mumbai Indians win by 2 wickets
| Chennai Super Kings | 173-8 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Mumbai Indians | 174-8 (20 ovs) |
Dwayne Smith finished what Sachin Tendulkar started as Mumbai strengthened their claims to a spot in the IPL knockout stage by beating Chennai.
The Indians' chances of chasing the Super Kings' 173 for eight seemed to have gone when they lost seven wickets for 25 runs, following a century stand between Tendulkar (74) and Rohit Sharma (60).
But that was reckoning without West Indies Twenty20 batsman Smith, who first of all kept his cool while four other batsmen were making ducks around him.
It still seemed Mumbai had run out of steam until Smith hit the last three balls of the final over, from Ben Hilfenhaus, for a six and two fours to finish with an unbeaten 24 and sneak a highly-improbable two-wicket win. Lasith Malinga (three for 25) and RP Singh (three for 28) had earlier been responsible for six of the CSK wickets.
Opener Murali Vijay (41) and West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo (40) nonetheless ensured a challenging total, but one which would not prove beyond Smith.
