The duo plundered 53 runs in only 4.1 overs to seal a victory for the hosts in the thrilling encounter that swung one end from the other throughout and also had a couple of rain-induced stoppages.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Chasing a 153-run target, the home sidesuffered an early blow in the very first legal ball as in-form opener Lendl Simmons had to depart for a duck. An in-swinger from Zaheer Khan struck Simmons on the front pad as he failed to make contact with the ball, making it easy for the umpire to raise his forefinger.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Hardik Pandya (5) perished in the very next over, with Imran Tahir catchign a top edge off the bowling off Nathan Coulter-Nile. Mumbai then were 8\/2 in 1.5 overs then.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">There were more jolts. Looking to up the scoring rate Parthiv Patel (13) and Harbhajan Singh (5) - the latter promoted in the batting order - departed in the space of two overs thereafter, leaving Mumbai wobbling at 40\/4 in 5.2 overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">But skipper Rohit Sharma looked positive from the outset as he notched aA quick-fire 37- ball 46, but was undone by a googly from Amit Mishra in the 16th over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Earlie, electing to bat, Daredevils got off to a worst possible start, losing opener Mayank Agarwal off the very first ball. It was a puzzle from Laith Malinga, pitched up and swinging outside off, Agarwal failed to judge, and edged it to wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel, as the home fans in the stadium erupted in joy..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The other opener Shreyas Iyer (19) too did not last long. Harbhajan Singh snared him with his very first delivery. The visitors were then 43\/2 in 5.1 overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Skipper J.P. Duminy (28 off 19) looked in good form right from the start, but soon perished giving a return catch to a diving Jagadeesha Suchith.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Other Daredevils batsmen Kedar Jadhav (16) and Angelo Mathews (12) made their way back to the pavilion after brief stints in the middle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">But Yuvraj Singh&#39;s late cameo off 57 in 44 balls, with seven boundaries and two sixes helped Delhi Daredevils post a formidable score.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">For Mumbai, offie Harbhajan Singh (2\/11) and Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga (2\/33) were the main wicket-takers. 16 dot balls bowled by Harbhajan Singh today is the second-most IPL 2015 after Mitchell Johnsona&iquest;s 17 against Mumbai Indians.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
