Kieron Pollard's last over for Mumbai Indians against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday at Wankhede Stadium was decisive. With Yusuf Pathan still at the crease, it was a gamble to depend on the gentle pace of Pollard to defend 12 off the final over. The big man however, did not let his captain Rohit Sharma down as he snared Pathan off the first ball itself and did not allow Piyush Chawla to make any contact with the bat in the last three balls. Mumbai won the game by five runs.
Pollard's final analysis: 1-0-6-1

In one of the most bizarre IPL games ever played, Rajasthan Royals took on Kolkata Knight Riders at Motera, near Ahmedabad. Chasing 171 for victory, KKR were coasting at 121 for one with Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa going great guns. Skipper Shane Watson decided to bring himself on in the 15th over and engineered a stunning collapse to snare wickets of Robin Uthappa, Gautam Gambhir and the dangerous Andre Russell in the space of five balls. The over saw only one run being conceded and the final rites were performed by Pravin Tambe in the next over.
Watson's final analysis: 4-0-21-3
