That's it from the trio of Shashank, Ajith and Sid V for tonight. Hope you have enjoyed the coverage, it was a pleasure bringing it to you. Till we see you next time, it's goodbye and goodnight from all of us here!

Tendulkar: No hiccups today! Pollard was special and then JP did well to polish off a very good batting performance. I thought Pollard played smartly, he used his brains. It's not all about going bang bang, he paced his innings very well. There is a lot of room for improvement in our bowling. It's important to play good cricket and that is what our focus will be on against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. I am sure it will be a very good contest.

Sarwan: Pollard was brilliant, he took the game away from us. We pulled it back a long way after Sachin and Dhawan started well for them. While chasing, we wanted to keep wickets in hand and go after the bowling in the last 5 overs, unfortunately we left it a little too late. Had we kept them down to 160, maybe we could have chased it down.

Pollard: I bucked down a bit initially before cutting loose in the end. The pitch was excellent for batting, that just made my job easy. I don't mind batting anywhere, I just want to adapt to wherever the team needs me. Hopefully we can play some good cricket against RCB on Sunday as well.

Keiron Pollard is the MoM for his whirlwind knock of 72 in just 30 balls.

The Mumbai Indians live to fight another day! The Guyanese have put up a better fight tonight but unfortunately that wasn't enough to help them cross the line tonight. Mumbai Indians have Pollard to thank for the win tonight. They were struggling at the 15 over mark, but his whirlwind innings got them to 184. Their fielding was sloppy to say the least, but the bowling looked good in patches, something they need to work on if they are to challenge the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their final game.

Desperate Mumbai in must-win situation

Durban: Stunned by two back-to-back defeats, the Sachin Tendulkar-led Mumbai Indians will be desperate to find their winning ways when they take on a low-profile Guyana in a Champions League Group B match at Durban on Thursday.

Having lost the first two games against the Lions and the Redbacks respectively owing to poor strategy and some sloppy fielding, the game against Guyana becomes a must-win encounter for the Mumbai side. Along with Guyana who got a thrashing of their life at the hands of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first match, Mumbai currently make the bottom of the group B and both sides would be eyeing their first win of the tournament.

What would have hurt Mumbai is that they looked in a commanding position almost right through the game against the Redbacks, but poor bowling and awful fielding at the death led to their downfall. Both Zaheer Khan and Hrabhajan Singh have failed to impose themselves on the opposition and are struggling to get the rhythm right. Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga has been the impressive of the bowlers and Mumbai will be hoping that he continues his good work.

Though Mumbai lost once while chasing and once while defending, their batting looks more or less settled with scores of 176 and 180 in their two outings.

Although Sachin Tendulkar failed in the last match, he looked pretty solid in his innings of 20 runs after a breezy 62-ball 69 in the first game. Young batsman Saurabh Tiwary and Kireon Pollard played a swashbuckling innings of 44 and 36 respectively against the Redbacks and team will hope that the duo continue their impressive form against Guyana.

Guyana, who lost their campaign-opener to Bangalore by nine wickets, will find Mumbai Indians a tough nut to crack. Skipper Ramnaresh Sarwan is the only big name in their batting line-up which somehow managed to cross the 100-run mark against RCB's mighty bowling attack.

But Mumbai will surely not take Guyana for granted because the players like Christopher Barnwell and Sewnarine Chattergoon are capable of changing the equation in a matter of few overs with their smart batting.
