Mumbai Indians vs. Delhi Daredevils: Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma steer Indians home
Mumbai Indians have beaten Delhi Daredevils by an emphatic margin of 8 wickets in their opening fixture of the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League.
This is a great start to the tournament by the runner-ups of the previous edition of the League as they outplayed the Daredevils in all departments of the game.
Chasing a low total in the second innings, Mumbai faced an early hiccup in the shape of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ambati-Rayudu-c1007 consolidated the innings
for the Indians before the latter was run out.
Tendulkar showed his class and made sure that his team crosses the line without breaking much sweat. He found able support in the shape of Rohit Sharma who is playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 this season. The young right-hander was an integral part of Deccan Chargers
in the previous three editions of the IPL but Mumbai Indians have done well to have the solid middle order batsman in their line-up for the season.
Tendulkar and Sharma accumulated 68 runs for the third wicket and sealed the game for Mumbai.
Sachin remained the top scorer with an unbeaten 46 runs which came off 50 balls with the help of 3 fours and a six. Sharma remained not out on 27 off 30 balls in which he struck 3 boundaries. Rayudu (14) also looked good during his short stay at the crease.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morne-Morkel-c77722 picked up the only wicket taken by the Daredevils’ bowlers after giving away 29 runs in his 4 overs.
Lasith Malinga was named as the Man of the Match for his devastating spell earlier in the match which broke the back of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 batting.
Delhi have a strong top order batting line-up but they should be disappointed with the fact that they could not counter the bowling of Mumbai Indians and only three of their batsmen reached double figures. They might have to reconsider their foreign batsmen
as David Warner and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aaron-Finch-c881 failed to make any impression in their first match of the season.
