Mumbai Indians beat Deccan by 41 runs

Mumbai Indians crushed Deccan Chargers by 41 runs in an Indian Premier League match in Mumbai on Sunday.

Harbhajan Singh turned the game around for MI with a stunning 18-ball unbeaten 49 innings laced with eight fours and two sixes as he single handedly took them from 119 for seven to 172 for seven after the home side were sent into bat and captain Sachin Tendulkar (43-ball 55) had held the innings together with his fourth IPL III half century.

The fiesty off-spinner, who opened bowling for the home side, then took three wickets - including that of dangerous Adam Gilchrist for 31 runs from his four overs as Deccan Chargers were all out for 131 in 17.4 overs in chase of 173.
