MI vs CSK - first Playoff match - Allround Mumbai Indians blow away Chennai Super Kings

Lendl Simmons, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh and Lasith Malinga all sparkled today as Mumbai Indians continued their stunning turnaround in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 and sealed their spot in the final of the multi-starrer tournament. Simmons gave his side the perfect start, laying a strong foundation which Pollard capitalized to the hilt. The allrounder slammed a blitzy 41 to give his side a daunting total of 187/6. Defending the total and with a noisy Mumbai crowd supporting them, MI started well, but needed a superb spell from Harbhajan, including the dismissals of Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni off consecutive deliveries, to take full control of the game. Malinga ensured there was no fairytale comeback by CSK towards the end as he wrapped up the game with two quick wickets. Mumbai went on to claim a comfortable win - by 26 runs - and earn a deserved four-day break ahead of the final.
