Jayasuriya lifts Mumbai to victory
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 05 - 2008

The presence of Sachin Tendulkar and an explosive unbeaten 114 helped Mumbai Indians breeze past Chennai Super Kings for their fourth consecutive victory in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium here.
After restricting Chennai Super Kings to 156-6 Mumbai Indians coasted home in 13.5 overs.
With this win Mumbai Indians have four wins from 8 matches while Chennai shares second place with Punjab with six wins from 10 matches.
The dream opening pair of skipper Tendulkar and Jayasuriya began carefully but once Tendulkar was bowled by Joginder Sharma for 12, Jayasuriya simply exploded. It rained sixes and fours. The veteran Sri Lankan was at his attacking best and whipped every bowler mercilessly for 11 sixes and 9 fours from just 48 balls.
Earlier, Pollock virtually choked Chennai with a miserly spell of 4-1-9-1. The Bombay bowlers utilized the bowler-friendly conditions and kept Chennai under check.
However Dhoni and S. Badrinath produced a 95-run stand to put up a respectable total.
Chennai Super Kings 156 for 6 (Badrinath 53, Dhoni 43*, Fleming 26, Pollock 1-9, Kulkarni 3-33, Bravo 2-37) Mumbai Indians 158 for 1 in 13.5 overs (Jayasuriya 114*). Player of the Match: Jayasuriya.
