Bravo, spinners lead Mumbai to easy win
Centurion, May 12 (PTI) Dwayne Bravo's sparkling unbeaten knock of 70 runs coupled with their spinners' magical bowling kept Mumbai Indians in the race for a semifinal spot as they humbled Kings XI Punjab by eight wickets in their Indian Premier League match here today.
Mumbai spin trio of Harbhajan Singh (1/9), J P Duminy (2/15) and Ajinkya Rahane (1/5) wreaked havoc with their splendid spells and set the stage for the revenge win as they restricted Punjab to a paltry 119 for nine.
Sunny Sohal with his fearless 43-run knock was the top scorer for Punjab after Yuvraj Singh chose to bat at the Supersport park.
Mumbai's chase began on shaky note with the failure of Sanath Jayasuriya (4) but Bravo, cashing in on a dropped chance, steered Mumbai to a comfortable win with his 59-ball knock, bejewelled with seven fours and three sixes.
With this win, Mumbai returned to the top-half of the points table.
Bravo, who was dropped on nought by Irfan Pathan on his own bowling in the second over of the innings, hit S Sreesanth for two huge sixes and two fours to begin the firework and then lofted Yuvraj for a massive six over the sight screen.
The West Indies batsman shared an unbeaten 82-run stand for the third wicket skipper Sachin Tendulkar, who provided good support to him with his unconquered 29-ball 41.
