Mumbai: Mumbai Indians did a fine job of scoring 183 runs after Chennai Super Kings pushed them on the backfoot in the early stages of the game in Mumbai on Friday. Half-centuries from Pollard and Rohit Sharma left the hometeam in a solid position before McCullum and Smith tarnished the MI’s bowling attack to give Chennai Super Kings their third win in as many games.
