Mumbai Indians thrashed Deccan Chargers by 37 runs as they secured an easy win and went quite ahead of other IPL teams in the points table. After the win, Mumbai Indians are on 10 points and 4 points ahead of second placed KKR. Deccan captain Sangakkara won the toss and put Mumbai Indians to bat. Though MI lost some early wickets but Rohit Sharma (56 runs off 34 balls) and Andrew Symonds (44 runs off 33 balls) reconstructed the innings as they reached 172/4 in 20 overs. Amit Mishra took two wickets for the Chargers. None of the Deccan Chargers batsmen could survive for long as they kept on losing wickets and ended up with only 135/8 in 20 overs. Lasith Malinga bowled an amazing spell as he took 3 wickets for only 9 runs in his 4 overs for MI and was also awarded the Man of the Match for the same.

Last year’s IPL finalist Mumbai Indians defeated the IPL champions Chennai Super Kings by 8 run by virtue of an all round performance by the team. Chennai captain Dhoni won the toss and put Mumbai Indians to bat. After some initial hiccups, Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant 87 runs off 48 balls and was well supported by Andrew Symonds (31 runs off 26 balls) and Ambati Rayudu (27 runs off 29 balls) as they scored 164/4 in 20 overs. Doug Bollinger took two wickets for CSK. Chennai Super Kings replied very well with Subramanium Badrinath (71 runs off 48 balls) and Michael Hussey (41 runs off 33 balls) playing good knocks but hardly anybody else could even cross double digits as they ended up with 156/9 in their 20 overs. Harbhajan Singh took 5 wickets for 18 runs while Lasith Malinga contributed with 2 wickets. Harbhajan was awarded the Man of the Match for his bowling performance.

Mumbai Indians defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 9 wickets today. Sachin Tendulkar won the toss and put Royal Challengers Bangalore to bat. Royal Challengers struggled to get any decent run rate through the first half of their innings and they could only reach a score of 140/4 in their 20 overs as Dilshan and AB De Villiers scored 59 runs and 38 runs respectively. Malinga and Pollard took two wickets each for the Mumbai Indians. Mumbai in return cruised along and reached 143/1 in 18.3 overs as Sachin Tendulkar (55 runs off 46 balls), Ambati Rayadu (63 runs off 50 balls) and Davy Jacobs (22 runs off 16 balls) scored at brisk pace. Sachin Tendulkar was awarded the Man of the Match.

In Match 32 of the IPL T20 season 2, Adam Gilchrist won the toss and put Mumbai Indians to bat. Deccan Chargers could only reach 145/6 in 20 overs with the help of useful innings from Rohit Sharma (38 off 36 balls), Venugopal Rao (28 off 17 balls) and Adam Gilchrist (25 off 29 balls). It seemed to be an easy chase for the Mumbai Indians but it seemed that the Mumbai Indians batsmen had got habituated to the art of choking every time they took a start. Even a valuable half century by J P Duminy (52 off 48 balls) and Pinal Shah (29 off 19 balls) could not save them from a defeat as the whole Mumbai Indians lineup tumbled and could reach only 126/8 in 20 overs. The special feature of the innings is that Rohit Sharma took the second hat-trick of IPL T20 season 2 as he bagged the wickets of Abhishek Nayar, Harbhajan Singh and J P Duminy in consecutive deliveries. After the hat-trick he also took another wicket leaving only one ball in between. The best bowling figures for Deccan Chargers were of Rohit Sharma, R P Singh and Tirumalsetti Suman with figures of 4/6, 2/19 and 2/14 respectively. Rohit Sharma was awarded the Man of the Match for his valuable innings of 38 runs off 36 balls and his bowling spell of 4 wickets for 6 runs in 2 overs.
