Unbeaten Mumbai and Hyderabad Face off Today Print E-mail
Pitched By Sharad with C360 Reporter   
Saturday, 25 April 2009

Rating 5.0/5 (1 vote)

The Mumbai Indians and the Deccan Chargers remain unbeaten in the IPL 2009 tournament so far. The Deccan chargers have won both their matches so far; against KKR and Bangalore. The Mumbai team has played just one match so far, when they defeated the fancied Chennai team whereas their second game against the Rajasthan Royals got washed out and fetched them just one point. Though coach Shaun Pollock arranged for Mumbai to play against a provincial team in the meantime, they have not actually played a match since last Saturday; today’s match will prove whether this may be a good thing or a bad thing for them.

Today Sachin Tendulkar will be playing his first match after turning 36. The Mumbai team stunned the Chennai Super Kings in the opening game of IPL 2009 as did the Deccan Chargers stun the Kolkata team in their first match.

The Deccan Chargers headed by Adam Gilchrist appear a recharged team after having languished at the bottom of the board last year. This year, Gilchrist and the likes of Herschelle Gibbs and Rohit Sharma are taking the attack to the opposition. In the bowling department RP Singh and Pragyan Ojha have done very well for their team. Singh took 4 wickets in their encounter against KKR, which restricted the opposition to a total that Gibbs and Sharma made short work of. Scott Styris also shores us the bowling attack for the Deccan Chargers.

Gilchrist’s frenetic 71 in their game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore ensured that the total of the Hyderabad remained beyond the reach of the Bangalore team. What has also seen a marked improvement in this team over last year is their fielding. The tight fielding has put pressure on the batsmen and restricted the flow of runs as well.

As for the Deccan chargers, two of international cricket’s most seasoned campaigners; Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya are part of a formidable looking batting line up. Having played just one match (the other being rained out ) we don’t get a very good assessment of their abilities and potential, though the fact that Sachin is in good nick can only bode well for the team. His fifty in the first game and Abhishek Nayar’s batting in the game against Chennai was good to watch. Jayasuriya’s batting is another thing the team as well as the spectators will be looking forward to. If the batting is looking good, the bowling is also looking fairly competent with the presence of Lasith Malinga, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh.

Today will see a very interesting clash between two very seasoned campaigners: Adam Gilchrist who belies the fact that he has retired from international cricket and Sachin Tendulkar who belies the fact that he has been in international cricket for 20 years!
