From Cricinfo:
Lasith Malinga is expected to win matches with the ball, he does the job with the bat this time. Those two straight sixes off Jakati gave Mumbai hope, there was some senseless swinging after that, but Mumbai will be willing to forgive that as he ends with 37* off 18. The partnership with Harbhajan was 53 off 4.3 overs, it needed something special to beat Chennai at home – Malinga and Harbhajan provided that. Hang on for the presentation.
