IPL5: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils V Mumbai Indians - Match Recap - Seven-wicket win takes DD to the top of table
The Delhi Daredevils' bowling arsenal fired in unison on a lively Wankhede surface to bundle out the Mumbai Indians for the season’s lowest total of 92, as the tourists sealed a comprehensive seven-wicket win over Bhajji’s boys inside 15 overs, in an IPL
clash on Monday night.
It was an inept batting display from the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians, which saw two of their batsmen reaching double figures. Bhaji top scored for Mumbai with a quick 22-ball 33, while Rohit Sharma played a patient knock of 29 at the top order. The rest of the line-up
fell for single digit scores, compiling just 21 runs.
Chasing a meagre total, DD skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 finished it off on the fifth ball of the 15th over, with seven wickets to spare.
Earlier, after being put into bat, the hosts got off to a tumultuous start losing both the openers, Richard Levi and Davy Jacobs to Daredevils' left-arm spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahbaz-Nadeem-c89339, for 1 and 0 respectively. Nadeem, who was given the responsibility of sharing
the new ball with Irfan Pathan, bowled Davy Jacobs on the fifth ball of his first over and struck again on the first ball of his next over, scalping the explosive South African opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Richard-Levi-c2315 and it was all downhill from there.
After the two quick dismissals, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Maharashtra-c811 batsman calmed
the nerves of the hosts but the excitement was short-lived as four wickets fell in four overs, including Sharma, as the tourists were reeling at 44 for 6 in the 11th over.
Clint McKay and MI skipper Harbhajan Singh shared a 34-run stand for the seventh wicket, with the bulk coming from the latter. McKay was the next man to depart after being caught at long off by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625 off Pathan . He scored 8 runs from 15 balls. In
the next over, Morkel bowled http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RP-Singh-c87028, who was playing his first game of the season, for a fourth-ball duck.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajit-Agarkar-c972 claimed
the last wicket by bowling out http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PP-Ojha-c2198, who scored 3 runs from 12 balls, to set a 93-run target for his batsmen.
Nadeem, Morkel, Agarkar and Yadav shared two wickets apiece while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CJ-McKay-c1265.
Daredevils’ left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem, who shared the new ball with Irfan Pathan, was adjudged as the Man of the Match, for removing Mumbai Indians’ explosive openers Richard Levi and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davy-Jacobs-c1343 in the first two overs of his spell.
