Mumbai Indians skipper Harbhajan Singh praised Lasith Malinga and James Franklin for their "fantastic" performance with the ball and said he was happy that he made the right choices in the Champions League Twenty20 semifinal on Saturday.
With Somerset needing 22 off last 12 balls, Harbhajan asked Franklin to ball the second last over and the New Zealander picked up the wickets of Jos Butler (19) and Craig Kieswetter (62) -- to turn the game in Mumbai's favour.
Malinga, who had given Mumbai a brilliant start picking up two quick wickets initially, then completed the proceeding by taking two more wickets in the last over.
"We won the toss and it was a bat-first wicket. This was a better wicket than earlier ones. We got to a total where we could defend. Malinga and Franklin were fantastic in last two overs," said Harbhajan after MI beat Somerset by 10 runs and set up a summit clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore.
