Deccan Chargers invited Mumbai Indians to bat first today in the 25th match of DLF Indian Premier League 2010. Though Mumbai Indians lost the opener S Dhawan when the team score was just 24 but Sachin Tendulkar once again showed his class and kept on to score 55runs. Mumbai Indians middle order fumbled and wickets kept falling regularly and at one stage it looked that they wont be able to score more than 130. But then Harbhajan Singh came to bat and threw his bat on almost everthing. He scored 49 off just 18 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes. It was the cameo from Turbanator which took the team to a decent total of 172/7 in 20 overs.
Chasing the target of 173, Deccan Chargers got the worst possible start as they lost Adam Gilchrist in the very first over by Harbhajan leaving Deccan Chargers at 0/1. This was such a jolt that Deccan Chargers could never came back. They kept loosing wickets and were reduced to 50/4 in 6 overs. Run rate was increasing and no partnership was building up, only Rohit Sharma stood tall for some time but he could not find any support from other batsmen and finally they were all out for 131. Thus Mumbai Indians won the match by 41 runs, thanks to superb performance of Harbhajan Singh both with bat and bowl
