Lasith Malinga grabbed four wickets to bowl Mumbai Indians to a 10-run victory over English county Somerset in their Twenty20 Champions League semifinal Saturday. The Sri Lankan paceman, known for bowling accurate yorkers with a slinging action, finished with 4-20 off four overs as Mumbai restricted Somerset to 150-7 after posting 160-5. Australian opener Aiden Blizzard top-scored for Mumbai with a 39-ball 54 and New Zealand paceman James Franklin took two vital wickets in one over. Craig Kieswetter made a fighting 62 off 46 balls with the help of one six and seven fours for Somerset. The English county needed 22 runs to win off the last two overs with seven wickets in hand, but Franklin dismissed well-set Kieswetter and Jos Buttler (19) in the penultimate over while conceding only seven runs. Kieswetter and James Hildreth (39) added 83 for the third wicket after man-of-the-match Malinga had jolted the top order with two quick wickets in his lively opening spell. Somerset required 15 to win in the final over, but managed only four runs as Malinga removed Nick Compton and Murali Kartik. Blizzard earlier helped Mumbai post a competitive total, hitting three sixes and five fours. Rajagopal Sathish (25 not out), Kieron Pollard (24) and Suryakumar Yadav (23 not out) were the other main scorers. Mumbai will now clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final Sunday. Scores: Mumbai Indians 160-5 in 20 overs (A. Blizzard 54, R. Sathish 25 not out, K. Pollard 24, S. Yadav 23 not out) beat Somerset 150-7 in 20 overs (C. Kieswetter 62, J. Hildreth 39, L. Malinga 4-20, J. Franklin 2-16) by 10 runs. Jurgensen bowling coach Australian Shane Jurgensen has been appointed as the new bowling coach of Bangladesh, the country's cricket board said Friday. The 35-year-old Queenslander and former New Zealand bowling coach is expected to arrive Sunday, two days before Bangladesh begins its home series against West Indies with a Twenty20 Intentional in Dhaka. “Jurgensen is a vastly experienced bowling specialist. He has also had an accomplished cricket career and his input will be extremely important for our cricketers,” BCB Chief Executive Manzur Ahmed said in a statement.
