Kieron Pollard's 87 Helps Mumbai Indians Win Thriller

Mumbai Indians all-rounder Kieron Pollard's unbeaten 87 off 34 balls helped the side defeat Chennai Super Kings by four wickets. Despite the loss, MS Dhoni and the team have maintained their position at the top of the points table. Mumbai Indians are also placed at number four, with the franchise getting to eight points from seven matches now. Set to chase a massive score of 219, Kieron Pollard scored his first half-century of the season. His brilliant knock helped Mumbai Indians win their fourth match of the 14th IPL season. His finishing abilities came on the back of a good opening partnership by captain Rohit Sharma and Quinton De Kock. The opening duo had put up a crucial partnership of 71 for the first wicket inside eight overs. After their departure, Mumbai Indians then lost three quick wickets. But with Pollard at the other end, the intent to win the match was always there.
