IPL 3 Match 52: Mumbai Juggernaut Rolls Past RCB Even as Low Intensity Bomb Sparks Concern

A low intensity bomb explosion failed to throw the Mumbai Indians off their mission – to maintain their winning streak despite qualifying for the IPL 3 semi finals. Anil Kumble, although rattled himself as were some of his team mates over the happenings, stated that while distraction would have been for both teams, perhaps his team was paying the price for not gathering their wits about them.
The match was delayed by an hour after a couple of crude bomb explosions occurred outside the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengalore. While it raised concerns, the players were asked to return to the confines of their dressing room, forty-five minutes before the start of play as they were warming up.
Ryan McLaren was sent up the order and it was a move that paid off brilliantly as the South African all rounder scored forty runs even as Ambati Rayudu and JP Duminy made scored in excess of forty themselves. Even though Sachin Tendulkar added only nineteen runs to keep the Orange Cap, the Mumbai Indians were rocketing away, setting the Royal Challengers Bangalore a stiff target of 192 from their twenty overs.
The RCB were not really rollicking away as the scoreboard would testify, losing wickets and lagging behind the run rate They had nothing to write home about apart from Virat Kohli’s thirty-seven and that was hardly going to be enough to stop the rampaging Mumbai Indians.
