The pitch was tricky , but the Mumbai Indians target of 139 was attainable knowing the might of RCB'S batting .Then look what happened man of the match Harbajan Singh and man of the series Malinga broke the heart of RCB dismissing Gayle, Kohli, AND Dilshan.[ Who says it is a batsman's game]till then it appeared RCB would run away with the game. In this form of game mostly dominated by batsmen ,it is astonishing what Malinga does to batsmen time and again .He has proved to helpless looking bowlers that bowlers too can have the last laugh.
