Mumbai Indians won by five wickets against Deccan Chargers at the Wankhede Stadium here Sunday.
Asked to bat first, Deccan Chargers struggled to face Sri Lankan speed merchant Lasith Malinga, who was the pick of the Mumbai Indians bowlers bagging four for 16, and were bowled out for 100 in 18.4 overs.
Mumbai Indians skipper Harbhajan Singh also ended his poor run with the ball bagging two for 13 from his four overs while New Zealand all-rounder James also picked up two for 18.
Deccan Chargers found run scoring difficult on the Wankhede track and it were the openers Shikhar Dhawan (29), Parthiv Patel (19) and Jean Paul Duminy (25 not out) who were the only three batsmen who could get to double figures.
Deccan Chargers tried to make a match out of the paltry score with South African pace spearhead Dale Steyn (2-10) striking in the very first ball to get rid of his compatriot Richard Levi. Steyn was also adjudged as Man of the Match.
