STRATEGIC BREAK! It's been an easy going for the Mumbai Indians from the first ball and they are literally cruising to a famous win in front of their home crowd.

With 57 runs required from 42 balls, the asking rate has shrunk down to 8.14, and with 9 wickets in hand, Rohit well settled, showing his full range, this is MI's game to lose from here. LSG need a miracle to make a comeback. Can they? Manimaran Siddharth is called into the attack. His figures read 2-0-39-0 so far.
