Mumbai Indians struggle after a horror start
April 12, 2015  22:44
 Mumbai 32-4 (10 ovs) vs Punjab 177-5 | Scorecard

Anderson breaks the shackles as he comes down the track to Sandeep and lofts him over the off-side for a four. He chips down again after two balls but this time Sandeep drops short as Anderson is beaten trying to play the pull shot.

He gets a single from the last ball as Sandeep finishes with wonderful figures one for 12 in four overs including a maiden.

Left-arm spinner Axar Patel comes into the attack. Rayudu nearly throws his wicket as he lofts it casually on the off-side as Miller at long-off makes a diving effort to his left but can't hold on.

The next ball Anderson comes down the track as Saha fumbles but luckily for him the ball pops out of his hand and strikes the stumps.

Anderson is stumped for five as Mumbai stumble to 25 for four in the eighth over.

A dream start for Patel, a wicket and only three runs from his opening over.

Punjab's bowlers have Mumbai's batsmen in a complete spell. Kieron Pollard defends the next over from Johnson as he watchfully plays the first five balls before taking a single from the last ball.

Rayudu survives a stumping as he comes down the track to Axar but is beaten in the flight but wicketkeeper Saha is slow to take off the bails.

Just nine runs from the last three overs as Mumbai Indians struggle to 32 for four in 10 overs. They need another 146 runs from the remaining 10 overs for victory at an asking rate of nearly 15 runs per over.
