Mumbai Indians restrict Lions to 140/5

Mumbai Indians produced a fine bowling display to restrict Highveld Lions to a modest 140 for five in a crucial Group A match of the Champions League Twenty20 here today.
Opting to bowl, Mumbai pacers first utilised the seaming conditions at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium pitch before their spinners came to the party to stop Lions from posting a formidable total.
Lions did not have the best of the starts losing both their openers inside the 50-runmark.
Rassie van der Dussen (13) was the first to depart as he mistimed a pull straight to Rishi Dhawan at square leg off Mitchell Johnson.

Even though Johnson picked up a wicket, he was nowhere near to his lethal best as he sparayed the ball all around the wicket.
Coming onto bowl in the seventh over, out-of-favour India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh tasted success with his fourth delivery, trapping Quinton de Kock (19) in front of the wicket.
Veteran Neil McKenzie looked impressive during his 16-run innings. He hit a four and a six before Dhawan went through his defence with a perfect in-swinger.
Mumbai's skipper Rohit Sharma introduced Pragyan Ojha in thhe ninth over and the left-arm spinner produced result immediately by disturbing the timbers of Jean Symes after the batsman clobbered the bowler for a six in the previous delivery.
