#4 Mumbai Indians won by 29 runs, May 4th 2008, Mumbai
The first match between the two sides in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League witnessed the home team register a comfortable victory over their counterparts by 29 runs at the DY Patil Sports Stadium.
Mumbai Indians powered to 162 in their quota of 20 overs largely due to cameos from Sanath Jayasuriya and Shaun Pollock. The left-hander made full use of the field restrictions as he smashed his way to 34 off just 16 balls to give the Mumbai Indians an explosive start at the top of the order.
Pollock then launched an attack on the opposition bowlers in the death overs. He scored a quick fire 33 off 15 balls to help the Mumbai Indians reach a respectable total of 162.
Pollack returned with the ball to damage the top order of the Delhi Daredevils as he picked up two crucial wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Shoaib Malik. The two wickets dented the run chase and despite a valiant effort of 40 from 20 balls from Virender Sehwag, the target proved to be too steep for the Daredevils. Lack of contributions with the bat resulted in the visitors falling short by 29 runs.
The South African bowler returned figures of two for 16 in his four overs and was adjudged the Man of the Match for his all-round performance.
