Somerset was beaten by Mumbai Indians in the Champions League’s 2nd
semifinal (CLT20). Earlier Bangalore’s
Royal Challengers were the first to launch their landing in finals by winning
in the 1st semi final. Mumbai, having so many of its players out of
tournament due to one reason or the other was never a hot contender for a berth
in finals. But they have managed to do so with a graceful victory in the semis
against Somerset.
The match was played in Chennai’s Chidambaram Stadium.
MI played first and made a challenging
score of 161. Somerset
played well with the help of a superb innings from Craig Kieswetter who made
62. It was Lasith Malinga from MI who dominated on Somerset batsmen with his dangerous and magical
spells. He took 4 wickets for just 20 runs. And all the 4 wickets he took were by
shocking the batsmen with a clean bowl.
James Hildreth was the
other batsman from Somerset
who made 39 and added an amazing 83 with Kieswetter but could not become the
savior for their team to sail them into the finals.
