Delhi Daredevils 118-3 (de Villiers 50no)Mumbai Indians 116 (Bravo 35, Bhatia 3-15) by seven wicketsScorecardIndian Premier League, East London
Rajat Bhatia picked up three for 15 to help set up a comprehensive seven-wicket Indian Premier League win for the Delhi Daredevils over the Mumbai Indians in East London, a result which puts the Daredevils top and leaves the Indians under pressure.
Bhatia's medium pace accounted for Pinal Shah (11), Ajinkya Rahane (12) and Rohan Raje (1) as the Indians, after winning the toss and choosing to bat, were bowled out for 106 in 20 overs.
Dwayne Bravo top scored with 35 in 30 balls, with two fours and the only two maximums of the innings as left-arm pacers Ashish Nehra and Dirk Nannes picked up two wickets apiece as the new Mumbai opening partnership of Luke Ronchi (0) and JP Duminy (0) failed spectacularly.
Captain Sachin Tendulkar, batting at number four, made 15 before he was run out by wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik.
The Daredevils' innings was a complete contrast as all four batsmen made their runs at a useful rate and it was a half-century stand between AB de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan that ensured there was no way back into the match for the Mumbai side.
Openers Gautam Gambhir (19) and David Warner (21) made 42 in 50 balls to lay the platform for de Villiers (50 not out) and Dilshan (17) to see them to the brink of victory. Shortly after de Villiers completed his half-century, Karthik (5 not out) thumped a four through midwicket to win the match.
Harbhajan Singh had Gambhir caught by wicket-keeper Ronchi while Duminy had Warner stumped and Dilshan was caught behind off of compatriot Lasith Malinga.
