New South Wales Blues squeeze out second win

On a pitch that was at once a hero and villain with its inconsistent and slow bounce, the Mumbai Indians crashed to 100 for seven in their 20 overs and then had the Blues on the ropes, but Steve Smith (45 not out) and Ben Rohrer (26 not out) put on 73 runs for the sixth wicket as the Australian outfit made 101 for five in 17 overs.

Blues now have four points after three games while Mumbai Indians remain on five and have completed their league engagements.
