IPL8 – KXIP beat MI by 18 runs in Wankhede Stadium

#IPL8 #MIvsKXIP #HarbhajanSingh #GeorgeBailey #Bhajji The heroics of Harbhajan Singh with his 24 ball 64 runs went in vain and failed to give the Mumbai Indians a much desired win at their home grounds in Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The MI team ultimately lost to KXIP by 18 runs in their IPL8 encounter.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 13 April 2015.

Bhajji, as he is better known, came out in the 14th over with MI down to 59 for six and staring down the barrel at a miserable outing in front of the home crowd. But, Harbhajan managed to infuse some life and, even of hopes of a win towards the end – it was too late in the day. He had smashed five fours and six sixes in his knock.
Earlier, KXIP batting first put up 177 for five. Captain George Bailey remained unbeaten with 61 from 32 balls while there were useful contributions from openers Murali Vijay (35), Virender Sehwag (36) and David Miller (24).
Such below-par showing on the Mumbai Indians was most unexpected and, with two losses in two games, Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, the mentor and coach respectively, need to do some serious soul searching.
