MUMBAI—West Indies big-hitter Kieron Pollard fired for the first time in the new Indian Premier League season, blasting a cameo to propel Mumbai Indians to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore here yesterday.
The right-hander, entering the match on the back of scores of 1, 1 and 1 in his last three IPL innings, hit a typically robust, unbeaten 40 off 19 deliveries as the hosts chased down RCB’s 170 for seven with two overs remaining in the contest at the Wankhede Stadium.
Captain Rohit Sharma top-scored with 62 at the top of the order while Ambati Rayudu chipped in with 31 and Englishman Jos Buttler, a quick-fire 28.
The victory was the second for Mumbai in five outings and it left them fourth on four points while RCB have now lost two of three games and lie three from bottom.
