7.25 pm local time: The Mumbai Indians' theme song is blaring around the ground and why not. They batted first and posted a medium-sized total of 162 and then bowled and fielded outstandingly to dismiss a powerful Delhi batting line up for 133. What a game Pollock has had, he scored 33 vital runs at the end of Mumbai's innings an then took 2 for 16 off four overs to lead Mumbai to their second consecutive victory.
Mumbai have jumped two places in the points table, they are now sixth, above the Bangalore Royal Challengers and the Deccan Chargers. Delhi are still first but they won't be first for too long because the second and third placed teams - Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings - take on each other in 30 minutes and they too have four wins each out of five games.
Shaun Pollock is the Man of the Match for his excellent allround performance. That's it from me, George Binoy, for today but do join Jamie Alter, who will be commentating on the Rajasthan-Chennai match. That game begins at 8.00 pm local time and you can follow it here. Cheers.
