Twitter goes BONKERS at the nail biting finish to MI vs KXIP

Wow! What a match! In what was arguably the best match of the season, Mumbai Indians just fell short of completing a record run chase against Kings XI Punjab at the Wankhede Stadium last night.

In what was a must win match for the Kings XI, Saha and Maxwell led the way as they put on a mammoth 230 runs on the board. Punjab must have felt that they had batted Mumbai out of the game but no one told that to Simmons and Patel as they gave the home side a rollicking start.

But Punjab kept chipping away as Guptil took an incredible catch at the boundary line to dismiss Simmons. Pollard and Pandya then took over as they marched towards the finish line.

Just when it seemed like Mumbai would get over the line, Sandeep and Mohit Sharma bowled two brilliant death overs which finally won the match for Punjab.

Here are the Twitter reactions from the match !
