In the night's other game, AB de Villiers' late assault lifted Royal Challengers Bangalore to a five-wicket win over Deccan Chargers. In Mumbai, West Indian batsman Dwayne Smith smashed the winning runs to secure a two-wicket win for Mumbai in the Indian Premier League. Smith scored an unbeaten 24 off nine balls and hit Hilfenhaus for a straight six and two consecutive boundaries to guide Mumbai Indians to 8-174 after Super Kings had finished at 8-173.

Hilfenhaus didn't concede a run off his first eight deliveries but then bowled two low full tosses to Smith followed by a length delivery, all of which were calmly hit hard by the West Indian allrounder. Sachin Tendulkar (74) and Rohit Sharma (60) had kept Mumbai on course with a 126-run second wicket stand off 81 balls before Super Kings hit back strongly and took seven wickets for 25 runs.

Mumbai looked to be coasting to victory when Tendulkar hit 11 boundaries and a six in his 44-ball knock, taking the home team to 134 in the 16th over. Faf du Plessis plucked a brilliant one-handed catch of Tendulkar at short extra cover to ignite an astonishing collapse. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja bowled Ambati Rayudu and Sharma in the 18th over before Robin Petersen was smartly run out by Du Plessis and captain Harbhajan Singh then holed out at long-off.

Hilfenhaus bowled Lasith Malinga to make it 8-159 but couldn't stop Smith from hitting the three crucial blows. Earlier, Super Kings' opening batsman Murali Vijay (41) and Dwayne Bravo (40) were the top run-scorers before Malinga (3-25) struck three late blows. Vijay hit seamer Munaf Patel for 22 runs in one over, including three sixes and a four, before he was bowled by RP Singh in the sixth over.

The victory kept Mumbai Indians in third with 14 points while Super Kings are fourth with 11. Delhi Daredevils lead the nine-team league with 16 points, followed by Kolkata Knight Riders with 15. Sri Lankan Tillakaratne Dilshan (71) and Chris Gayle (26) laid a solid platform of 91 runs for Royal Challengers' opening wicket at Bangalore before de Villiers cut loose when 39 was needed off the last three overs. While Chargers lie bottom of the table with five points, Royal Challengers increased their chances of making the knockout stage with 11 points.
