#3 Mumbai Indians won by 8 wickets, April 10th 2011, Delhi
It is not very often that bowlers pick up a five-wicket haul in the shortest format of the game but when they do, they make sure they break the backbone of the opposition batting line up.
The home side faced the brunt of Malinga Magic as they were bundled out for 95 after electing to bat first. The Sri Lankan pacer was at his very best as he used a barrage of slower deliveries and well-directed yorkers to dismantle the batting of the Daredevils and pick up five wickets in the match. He returned figures of five for 13 in his 3.4 overs which also included a maiden, to set up the match comfortably in the favour of the Mumbai Indians.
The chase was always going to an easy one for the experienced batting unit of the Mumbai Indians. The master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar anchored the run chase and scored an unbeaten 46 off 50 balls to help them register a comprehensive eight-wicket win over the hosts.
Malinga was awarded the Man of the Match for an exceptional spell of bowling.
