Match 2 Highlights: Mumbai Indians Vs Rajastan Royals
Match 2 Report: Mumbai Indians Edges Out Rajasthan Royals By 4 Runs
Mumbai Indians celebrate their win over Rajastan Royals in the IPL T20 match at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.MUMBAI: Lasith Malinga's determination to keep going at the batsmen and Sathish's fielding brilliance swung the fortunes in Mumbai Indians' favour, resulting in a thrilling four-run win over Rajasthan Royals in the second game of DLF-IPL III at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday.
The Lankan paceman snared one batsmen with a slow bouncer and ran out the next on his follow-through with a diving throw before the visitor's challenge ended at 208 for seven.
Record-breaking knock
Sathish had earlier run out century-maker Yusuf Pathan (100, 9x4, 8x6) in his follow-through, anticipating striker Paras Dogra's drive and flicking the ball by instinct at the stumps at the non-striker end.
A stunned Yusuf, who had smashed the fastest century in the IPL, walked back with Royals at 173 for five.
The Royals power-hitter punished every bowler, except Zaheer Khan, by messing up the line and length with intimidating hot-making and some late cuts before Sathish got him.
Good stand
Earlier, Saurabh Tiwary and Ambati Rayudu displayed absolute contempt for reputation, building on the momentum gained by the veterans Sanath Jayasuriya and Sachin Tendulkar over the first four overs after Mumbai Indians had opted to bat.
Ruthless
The youngsters were ruthless in execution of strokes. Tiwary's reach and power helped him get to the pitch of the ball and clear the field with huge hits.
He stepped out against Warne for the first of three sixes, walked out against Yusuf and gave medium-pacer Uniyal the same treatment for a 30-ball 50.
Rayudu's hitting was more deliberate as he picked up the length early to force the ball in the direction he wanted.
One straight six off Jhunjhunwala stood out for ease of execution. His half-century, which came in 30 balls, had six fours and two sixes.
Jayasuriya and Tendulkar had got cracking straightaway to put the Royals on the defensive.
Three boundaries — slashes to cover and a crisp drive to the ropes— in Mascarenhas' first over saw the Sri Lankan in full flow. The Indians' captain got into the mood with flicks off the pads to the square leg fence.
Fighting back
Royals fought back into the game with Uniyal deceiving Jayasuriya with a slower one, Mascarenhas claiming Tendulkar and Aditya Tare before the stroke-makers could do more damage. Then Tiwary and Rayudu took over to delight the home crowd.

Match 1 Report: Kolkata Knight Riders Win Against Deccan Chargers by 11 Runs
KKR batsman Owais Shah plays a shot against Deccan Chargers in the opening match of the third edition of IPL in Navi Mumbai on Friday.Deccan Chargers stumbled at the first hurdle, stunned by Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening game of the DLF-Indian Premier League 2010. The 2009 champion lost the way despite a superb 54 from captain Adam Gilchrist, scoring 150 for seven in the face of a spirited show from the Knight Riders bowlers.
Chargers lost by 11 runs chasing the 162-run target set by Sourav Ganguly's side. Ganguly used six bowlers, all of them chipped in with wickets at the D.Y. Patil stadium. Charl Langeveldt got two for 26 and the others managed a wicket each as KKR held its nerve when defending.
Taking into account the dropped catches under pressure and lapses in the field, the turnaround was remarkable against a side boasting of big-hitting batsmen.
V.V.S. Laxman, opening for Chargers, tried to tune into the T20 wavelength with a swatted six over long-on, then let captain Gilchrist show how bowlers can be tamed. The Aussie got cracking with two sixes, number one off Langeveldt over mid-wicket and bettered the effort next time with a straight six, stepping out against L.R. Shukla.
Gilchrist's mastery
Two dropped catches did not diminish Gilchrist's mastery, spotting the length early for clean hits, sending the ball soaring in a 35-ball 54 (3x4, 3x6). Hodge got him eventually, caught by Manoj Tiwary on the fence. Rohit Sharma (13 off 12 balls) took on the scoring duties, a late cut to third man and an on-drive. He fell for the bait from Mathews, chopping a short delivery towards short mid-on for Hodge to run across and do the rest. Knight Riders recovered from early upsets to post 161 for four. Mathews flexed his arms for an unbeaten 65 (46b, 5x4, 4x6) and saved his team from embarrassment.
The Sri Lankan, taking charge at number six, put on 130 runs in a fifth-wicket stand with England's Owais Shah 58 not out (46b, 3x4, 3x6). Shah used the pace of the wicket to stroke the ball, Mathews re-arranged his footwork to smash anything within range.
Vaas strikes
Vaas removed Tiwary with his first ball, the opener stunned when an attempted flick ended in Rohit Sharma's hands at square-leg. Skipper Sourav Ganguly was deceived by late swing, edging to Anirudh in the slips three balls later.
Cheteshwar Pujara broke the shackles with a crisp cover drive, but hit an uppish drive off R.P. Singh. Jaskaran Singh Bhuttar overcame stage fright in his first over with the valuable wicket of Brad Hodge off the next, inducing the Aussie to slash into Gibbs's hands at point, and then came up with a leg-cutter to leave the cautious Mathews in a tangle.
Deccan Chargers pressed slow bowlers Pragyan Ojha and Andrew Symonds into the attack from the seventh over.
Strategic break
Gilchrist took the first strategic break after eight overs with Knight Riders scrambling to 50 off 50 balls. Shah and Mathews attacked the slow bowlers, bold hitting taking the team past the 100-run mark off 94 balls.
Deccan Chargers took the second break after 16 overs and Vaas was brought back for his final burst. Shah and Mathews lashed sixes in a 100-run stand off 75 balls.
Knight Riders opted for Mathews, Hodge, Langeveldt and Shah among overseas players, resting Sri Lanka spinner Ajantha Mendis.
Deccan Chargers fielded all foreigners available in Symonds, Vaas, Gibbs, apart from captain Gilchrist.
Left-handed batsman Anirudh Singh made his IPL debut for Deccan Chargers, while Knight Riders opted for experienced hands.

Ravindra Kantrolu, Once Accused of Being a Serial Killer, Spotted Painting Faces at IPL
Beer man makes a killing at IPL: Ravindra Kantrolu, once accused of being a serial killer, was spotted painting faces and selling water outside D Y Patil stadium yesterday.
Ravindra Kantrolu paints Tricolours on the face of a spectator at D Y Patil stadium yesterday.
Ravindra Kantrolu paints Tricolours on the face of a spectator at D Y Patil stadium yesterday.
What would you expect to see on the day of the first IPL match, outside the stadium? A frenzied, energised crowd, lots of chatter, and a general sense of excitement.
But a MiD DAY photojournalist came across Ravindra Kantrolu alias Raheem the same man Mumbai police had detained for serial killings in the city, nearly three years ago. He was painting the faces of fans with poster colours.
Kantrolu narrated his story about how the police used to beat him up regularly and wanted him to confess that he was the serial killer.
"They used to torture me, and tried to pressurise me into admitting to crimes I was not guilty of. They even asked me to prove my credentials, but I was homeless, and hence I had no documents," said Kantrolu.
Kantrolu can't thank his friends enough for helping him while he was in jail, and says that they repeatedly tried to convince the police that he was innocent, but to no avail.
He added: "The police now want me to leave the city as my acquittal has brought them a bad name. They don't want anyone to see me, and hence want me to leave Mumbai. But I am going to stay here and work hard, and make a living."
Ravindra Kantrolu paints Tricolours on the face of a spectator at D Y Patil stadium yesterday. Kantrolu now earns nearly Rs 500 a day doing odd jobs, and on good days, up to Rs 1,000.
For now, he is charging Rs 10 to paint one side of the face, and he says that the Tricolour is still a huge favourite among cricket fans. He also sells water bottles around the stadium.
Kantrolu plans to continue to hang around all IPL match venues this season. So you might just happen to bump into him if you happen to watch any of the future IPL matches in Mumbai.
Previously...
Kantrolu was charged of killing three people and leaving beer cans near their bodies between 2006-07. Although the prosecution had sought a death penalty for him, the court sentenced him to life imprisonment.
In June 2008, the high court acquitted him of any involvement in the murders, due to lack of evidence.
