Deccan Chargers 145-6 (Sharma 38) beatMumbai Indians 126-8 (Sharma 4-6, Suman 2-14) by 19 runsScorecardIndian Premier League, Centurion Park
Rohit Sharma top scored with 38 and then took four wickets in five balls including a hat-trick as the Deccan Chargers beat the Mumbai Indians by 19 runs to get their Indian Premier League campaign on track.
The Indians, in pursuit of 146 to win, appeared to be well set before Dwayne Bravo (13) was caught at long on trying to take on the bowling of Tirumalasetti Suman and after that, panic appeared to set in and batsman after batsman threw their wickets away.
Abhishek Nayar (1) and Harbhajan Singh (0) were bowled by consecutive Sharma deliveries to set up the hat-trick, which he completed with the first ball of his next over when he had JP Duminy (52) smartly caught down the legside by Adam Gilchrist. One more run was added from the next ball before Saurabh Tiwary danced down the track and was stumped with Sharma at that point boasting figures of four for four.
The Indians were in early trouble when Sanath Jayasuriya (5) and Sachin Tendulkar (1) were both dismissed by RP Singh, who finished with two for 19 before the rest of the batting crumbled in the face of the spinners as Suman took two for 14.
Earlier, the Deccan Chargers innings failed to really get going, Gilchrist (25), Suman (20) and Vanugopal Rao (28) all getting starts and only Sharma getting in and going on to make a meaningful score. Sharma faced 36 balls, hitting two fours and a six as Lasith Malinaga, Dhawal Kulkarni, Bravo, Rohan Raje and Jayasuriya claiming a wicket apiece.
