After a brisk start, Mumbai Indians lost their way in the middle overs as the Chennai Super Kings bowlers applied a real squeeze. However, Kieron Pollard was in the middle and was looking settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a pitch \nwhich was not too conducive for stroke-making, Mumbai were looking at \none final flourish from Pollard. Dwayne Bravo had the ball in his hand \nand the first three deliveries were wide, but Pollard had shuffled \nacross and hence, the umpire did not call it. This did not go down too \nwell with the big West Indian threw his bat in the air in disgust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However,\n after the match, Pollard was fined was fined 25% of his match fee for \nshowing dissent at the Umpire\u2019s decision. He admitted to the Level 1 \noffence 2.8 of the IPL Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials \nand accepted the sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of \nConduct, the Match Referee\u2019s decision is final and binding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He \nthen took a guard well outside the off stump on the tram lines as Bravo \njogged in to bowl. However, he kept moving away and let go off his \nstrike as the bowler had to abort his run-up. This prompted the umpires \nto have a quick chat with him. The final two balls of the over were \ndispatched for two boundaries as Mumbai ended with 149.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf \ncourse, these sort are the games we need to perform in, these are the \ngames that people remember, scoring runs first in the final is always \ngood, the pressure is on the chasing team. Credit to these guys, Bumrah \nbowled a fine spell and then Lasith did the things he can do. In 2017, \nwhen we see back at that game we didn\u2019t put many runs and it went to the\n final over, this season too we had some really close games. \n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
