Later Rayadu came in and he too departed early at a score of 3 in 3balls,Duminy also departed on the score of 10 in 17 balls. At this point of time MI were in deep trouble the score was very low as the overs were nearing to finish.
Pollard came in and faced a bouncer for which he had to duck, again the second ball by Steyn was a bouncer for which Pollard duck himself to let it go , and the third ball was a googly and Pollard was given LBW and he went on duck.
It was Tiwary and Bravo in the end who came in rescue for the MI and hit some huge sixes and boundaries. Tiwary remained not out till the end of the innings on the score of 38 in 30 balls(4's 3, 6's 1) while Bravo was caught by Kohli on the score of 29 in 17 balls (4's 3, 6's 2).
But Harbhajan's cameo was as expected he hit the very first ball he faced for boundary and he totally scored 14 in 6 balls (4's 3, 6's 0).
