The Kings XI win a thriller

A well crafted fifty… but, 1 run short!

Kings XI Punjab halted Mumbai Indians' winning streak with a thrilling one-run victory off the last ball in the Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium.

In a thrill-a-minute frenzied final phase of the match, the home team - chasing the visitors' 189 for four - were dismissed for 188 after losing their last six wickets in three overs and one ball in a dramatic change of fortunes.

Seemingly cruising to a comfortable victory with captain Sachin Tendulkar (64) on song, Mumbai Indians suddenly lost the plot and a clutch of wickets - mostly to run-outs and the list included their skipper - to end up on the losing side.

Five run-outs (Tendulkar, Dwayne Smith, Siddharth Chitnis, Ashish Nehra and Vikrant Yeligetti) turned the match in favour of the visitors.

Earlier, After being put into bat, the Kings XI went on to make 4 for 189 from their 20 overs with Marsh (81 off 56) and Pomersbach (79 not out off 50) the stars of the show in Mumbai.

They put on 134 runs for the second wicket after fellow Australian James Hopes went for a golden duck.

Captain Sachin Tendulkar top-scored with 65 for the Indians but they ultimately fell one run shy in their chase.
