Mumbai Indians will win it

I expect a 100 run opening partnership by Sanath and Sachin. Zaheer and Malinga will rip apart Deccan's line-up. Habhajan will be useful too.

being a DC fan,i would like to comment from the DC point of view.
if any two of gibbs,gilly and rohit fire,DC has got a very good chance as R.P.Singh has got jayasuriya's number(so do we as idea openly revealed the numbers of sachin,sanath,bhajji and zak) and ojha will hopefully do the rest.
DC must bat first here if they win the toss.
this surely will be a ripper of a game!!

This should be a really good game, both teams have really good opening bowlers. Edwards has looked good, and so has Malinga. And Zaheer Khan isn't bad either lol.

I do think Mumbai will win though, there batting line-up just looks better.

 

[sashidharan]

MI will win for sure as kulkarni too will come in place of raje.He is a nice talent.Duminy is ready to fire.

DC stay aware......

 

[King Pietersen]

Been looking forward to seeing Mumbai in action again for a while. They're my team for this tournament and the side I'm backing. Hopefully Sachin and Jayasuriya will get going and make some big runs.

Why is Nick Compton talking up Lasith Malinga but failing to mention Zaheer Khan? =/ Zaheer's been one of the best T20 bowlers in the world in the last year or so, probably more consistent than Malinga. Mumbai have a superb bowling attack for T20 though, Malinga, Zaheer, Bravo and Harbhajan plus Jayasuriya and the Indian lads like Nayar. Awesome.

 

[Howsie]

Malinga is bowling pretty well here, he has such a good slower ball.

Good batting from Dwayne Smith there, man he hits the ball hard. Deccan should make atleast 190 now.

Howsie added 10 Minutes and 22 Seconds later...

Good bowling from Dwayne Bravo, he has such good Variations.

 

[King Pietersen]

Lasith Malinga, what a bowler. Has to be one of the best T20 fast bowlers in the world, he'd be in my XI that's for sure.

 

[Howsie]

Great bowling at the death by Malinga, the Deccan Chragers are atleast 20 runs short here.

 

[Pranav]

Great comeback by Mumbai. With gibbs on, it was looking like they are going to get 200, but thanks Venugopalrao, he got run out.

Magiacal bowling by Malinga. His yorkers were awesome.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Edwards will rip Mumbai's lineups

 

[ZexyZahid]

Deccan Chargers got 168/9. That's not a bad score.

And I see Mumbai fought back greatly, because at one time Deccan Chargers were at 124-2 after 12.5 overs.

 

[Cricketman]

YES! Malinga got 3/19! My trump player ftw .

 

[King Pietersen]

RP's got the Purple cap back. 7th wicket of the tournament for him, Jayasuriya gone. A DLF Vodafone IPL Lalit Modi Nike RV KING OF SIXERS CITI Moment of Success for Deccan.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Contrary to last season, Deccan has now good opening bowlers. That is showing a difference.
