Lasith Malinga demonstrated a devastating spell and broken the back of the Delhi Daredevils by claiming five wickets for just 13 runs in 3.4 overs and folded their innings for just 95 runs.
Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians are playing their first match of the Indian Premier Leagues’ fourth edition at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429 as the Captain of the Mumbai Indians is Sachin Tendulkar,
the two famous attacking openers.
The Daredevils won the toss and elected to bat with the dashing openers David Warner and Sehwag with the intentions to put a maximum score on board to have a psychological edge over the rivals. Tendulkar used the tactics by introducing Harbhajan Singh in
the bowling attack. He was honoured by Warner who could manage just a single on his initial two balls, Sehwag gathered two runs on the first ball he faced and thrashed a six over long off on the next ball and showed his presence in the park. They pair managed
10 runs off the first over which gave a rising start to the innings.
Malinga took the ball from the other end and produced an instant result as Warner was clean bowled by a full length Yorker. The promising youngster Unmukt Chand made his debut in the IPL but his dreams were shattered by a furious delivery from Malinga and
his stumps were uprooted on the second ball he faced. The second wicket fell at the same score of 11 runs as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aaron-Finch-c881 joined at the crease.
The misery continued for the Daredevils when their Captain Sehwag was run out on a direct throw off Tendulkar from short fine leg. The third wicket fell at the total of 27 runs in 4.4 overs as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naman-Ojha-c2057 entered the arena. Malinga was doing wonders at the
other end and exhibited the first maiden over of the tournament.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Venugopal-Rao-c2752 came to the crease, joined Ojha and both put their heads down and contributed 42 runs for the fifth wicket. They lost the fifth
wicket at 82 runs and the wickets started tumbling, no major partnership was observed and the whole team was bowled out at 95 runs in 17.4 overs.
Malinga was the star performer with five wickets, as Harbhajan took two wickets and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians.
The match looks like it is in the pocket of the Mumbai Indians and only a miracle can save the Delhi Daredevils from the defeat.
