Last night, Mumbai Indians did something which was totally unbelievable! A red- blooded match which a lot of people would compare to the WC 11' finals was eventually won by Mumbai Indians on the same ground as India did. Not to forget with a SIX!
Mumbai Indians equalized with Rajasthan on 14.3 overs with a score of 189. That made the difference between two Teams as 0. Given that Mumbai Indians had to still win the match, if they score anything more than 2 runs that would increase their numerator(Scored by MI) and decrease the numerator of RR (Scored against them)
Great job by Corey Anderson, Amabati Rayudu and of course 26 year old Aditya Tare who showed his grit by hitting a Six off Faulkners ball at a time when Mumbai needed it the most.
I saw a few status updates by cranky Rajasthan Royals fans who were upset about 14.3 over and 14.4.

Net Run Rate:
Net run rate = (number of runs scored/number of overs faced) - (number of runs conceded/number of overs bowled)
Suppose India scored 1066 runs off 223 overs and conceded 974 runs off 238.2 overs. India net run rate (NRR) is therefore calculated as follows:
- (1066/223) - (974/238.333) = 4.780 - 4.086 = 0.694
Note: 238.2 overs, meaning 238 completed overs and two further balls, was converted to 238.333 for the purposes of calculation.
In the 2012 Indian Premier League (IPL), Pune Warriors scored 2321 runs off 319.2 overs and conceded 2424 runs off 310 overs. Pune Warriors' NRR is therefore:
- (2321/319.333) - (2424/310) = 7.268 - 7.819 = -0.551
If a team is bowled out before completing their full quota of 20 or 50 overs (depending on whether it is a Twenty20 or one day match), that full quota is used in the net run rate calculation. For example, if the team batting first is bowled out for 140 after 35 overs of a 50-over game and the opposition reaches 141 in 32 overs, the NRR calculation for that match goes like this:
- (140/50) - (141/32) = 4 - 4.406 = -0.406

With the SIX! Tare put to rest Rajasthan Royals dream of getting into Play offs.
I hope we won't be seeing more cribbing on Facebook.

Now don't start writing that the match was fixed and Dawood Ibrahim - Blah..Blah.. Bullshit.
Mumbai Indians WON and Rajasthan Royals lost. END OF STORY. GO HOME.

Turns out that Mumbai could have won even if they had dot balls for 9 more balls.
