Mumbai beats Chennai on 2013 IPL final

Mumbai, May 27 – Mumbai Indians has become the winner of IPL- 6 on Sunday. The match held in Kolkata Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai super kings at final with 23 runs.

 

The Mumbai Indians successfully defended a modest 148/9, to hold an error-prone Chennai batsmen to 125/9 and extract sweet revenge for their 22-run defeat to the same rivals in a summit clash three years back.

 

For Chennai, skipper M.S. Dhoni ploughed a lonely furrow (63 not out; 45 b 3×4 5×6), as he joined in the middle with half the side gone and only 36 on the board into the seventh over.

 

Dhoni began by playing cautiously, but hit three sixes in an attempt to turn the game, but in the end that was not enough.

 

The one-sided game, played before packed galleries at the iconic venue, saw the Chennai Super Kings batsmen mostly go out to poor shots, though opener Mike Hussey was unlucky to be at the wrong end of a beautiful yorker length delivery from Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga that swung back into the Australian.
