Mumbai Indians v Delhi DareDevils at Mohali
MI v DD, IPL Match 23, Mumbai: Pollock inspires Mumbai victory
May 04, 2008
Veteran all-rounder Shaun Pollock wound back the years to inspire Mumbai Indians to a 29-run win over Delhi Devils on Sunday which lifted them off the foot of the IPL table.
The South African cracked a rapid 33 with the bat before claiming figures of two for 16 from his four overs as Mumbai surprised the tournament leaders.
The hosts' total of 162 for eight had looked very achievable for a Delhi side which had won four times in the IPL going into the clash, but they reckoned without Pollock at his economical best.
Virender Sehwag's quickfire 40 was as good as it got for the Daredevils, who were bowled out for 133 inside 19 overs in reply.
Pollock's fellow quick Ashish Nehra finished with three for 25.
MI v DD, IPL Match 23, Mumbai: Mumbai Indians 162 for 8 in 20.0 ovs beat Delhi DareDevils 133 in 18.5 overs by 29 runs
