Bangalore scored 201 of 3 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday. In response, Mumbai stopped at 201 for 5 wickets. This is the second tie in the current edition of IPL.
Pollard was quiet at first. The Caribbean SUV had 11 runs in the first 10 balls. With 79 runs in the last 4 overs, his contribution is greater as he led the game to the super.
The gardeners of Bangalore, of course, have enough responsibility. Pollard died when he hit a six on Adam Jampa at the start of the Dana Mela. It was an easy catch, Pawan Negi made a six. Pollard was revived by Yuzbendra Chehel at the end of the Australian leg tour.

Pollard made the equation a little easier with 26 runs in the jump.
In Chehel’s next over, Pollard’s two-six and Kisan’s six reached 22 runs. Navdeep Saini kept Bangalore’s hopes alive with 12 races in the 19th final.
It took 19 races on the last lap. Isuru Udana’s first two balls came in two singles. There was an opportunity to catch the third ball, but Gurkirat Singh, who was well within the limit, couldn’t catch it, Kisan hit a six.
On the next ball, this youngster reached 99 runs in another six. He was caught on the edge trying to finish the match with a six. Playing 56 balls, his 99-run innings were divided into nine sixes and two fours. Then the last ball was tied at that Pollard limit. He was undefeated in 60 of 24 balls with five sixes and three fours.
Aside from these two, no other Mumbai hitter has been able to release 15.
In this match too, Washington Sundar took 1 wicket with just 12 runs in 4 overs.
