thats sooooooooo amazingggggggg!!!!!!!! Yayyy we woonnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!! I have been jumping up and down ever since!!!!!!

Shaun Pollock rocksssss!!!! The way h set up the victory with his amazing wickets right from the starting!!!! And then even Sanath Jaisurya saved us from Akhtar, I think that over in which smashed Akhtar round the ground was the defining moment and the difference between the two sides.

With Tendulkar's dismissal, the Mumbai Indians looked to be going the same way as Kolkatta...losing wickets ina heap and all suddenly.

But then Jaisurya came up and smashed Akhtar all over the park and got more than 20 runs in that over and got the score to 44-1 in 3 overs. 👏 👏 👏

After that it was obvious that Kolkatta never had any say in the match!

Yayy and we move to the fourth position in the points table!!! 👏 👏 From being the last team in the points table to being the fourth...it is a long long way to have come and it is all because of the entire team and the seniors in particular....Pollock, Jaisurya, Uthappa and the local lads for bringing themselves up and performing so well to turn the game around!!! 👏 👏 👏 Take a bow guys!!! 👏 👏 👏

Wow...Mumbai won it soo easily..Seriously the bowlers..did an outstanding job..to restrict the Kolkata to 68..n Shaun Pollock was marvellous👏👏👏..Seriously I have a crush on him..😳..The 3 wickets which he took were so vital..He truly deserved to get the Man Of The Match Award..👏..The other bowlers...like Thornely n Bravo did a gr8 job..as well...😃..n Tendulkar...ws busy catching the whole time..I suppose..he took 4 catches...😳...n when Hafeez was out...n Uthappa took tht catch he took out his cap n was thanking the crowd(He did tht 2 in the T20 world cup)..I found it funny😆..

We were thinking of going 2 c dis match..bt..den thnk god we din't c..I thotit will be a close match..b4..bt den Mumbai had outdone Kolkata team completely...Dey deserved dis win👏👏👏...

Jayasuriya ws jst mind blowing ..n ws at his best again..Wow wen he ws smashing dose sixes...I ws jst applauding him...He rocked...N cuz of him the match ws akcheli over after 5.2 overs..wow...!!!

Thr were ppl sayingg..tht Sachin did nthng in the match..bt den According to me...he ws the 1 who tuk 4 catches..n tht also sum gud ones..n he ws the one who captained his side..very well..Jayasuriya himself said..wen Sachin is thr...all the pressure..reduces..wen he is back..n playing the match..😛

About kolkata innings...I won't say much..bt dey shud hv performed...better..n dey shud hv played..safe..after losing sum 5-6 wickets...

Mumbai Indians way to go👏👏👏
