Of his five scalps, Australian opening batsman David Warner was the first to go, on the second ball of Malinga’s first over - out to a fast in-swinging Yorker, which uprooted his stumps. Unmukt Chand followed a delivery later, he was also clean bowled.

Malinga then returned in the 15th over to cause more damage. He cleaned up Venugopal Rao’s stumps with a swinging full toss and  then in the same over South African Morne Morkel failed keep out a toe-crusher, giving Malinga his fourth wicket – all of them clean bowled in spectacular fashion. 

His fifth wicket highlighted the complete package that he is; Ashok Dinda was completely deceived by a slower ball on a good length, scooping the ball straight up in the air, giving Kiwi James Franklin an easy catch at mid-off. Malinga’s 5/13 is the 3rd best bowling figures in IPL now.

Chasing 95 Mumbai Indians lost South African Davy Jacobs with just one run on the scoreboard. With the score on 31 Mumbai lost Ambati Rayudu too but Sachin's 46* and Rohit Sharma's 27* guided Mumbai to an easy eight wicket victory.
