Bangalore yesterday managed to seize a game after being aided by a lot of luck as MI barely missed out a victory on homeground in their first stint in IPL 6. MI lost by two runs after Pollard failed to score 3 runs off the last ball in the game.

Bangalore finished the scores at 156/5 with excellent skills of Chris Gayle with the willow. RCB were completely dependant on the Jamaican who scored 92 runs off the bat pushing the score to a defendable 156. Though, MI had a great chance in the game, when they started scoring heavily off the bat until the end of 17^th over.

Tides turned in the 19^th over after the pace slowed down in the 18^th over. Pressure mounted in the 20^th with two back to back dismisals. Mumbai Indians had to score 10 runs in the final over, a definitely achievable target but they were denied luck and victory.

Today on the IPL 6 at 8pm local time Hyderabad Sunrisers will vie with Pune Warriors at the homeground, Hyderabad. Will the debuting rookies show the warriors who's the boss?
