Mathew Hayden’s cyclonic innings ensured victory for CSK: DDD 185/6 (20.0 Ovs), CSK 190/5 (19.1 Ovs)
Chennai Super kings beat strong Delhi Devils with a cyclonic innings from ex Aussie opener Mathew Hayden. Chasing a big total of 186 runs from allocated 20 over Hayden was on the task right from the beginning. He smashed all Delhi bowlers and played a memorable and dashing innings of 93 runs from just 43 balls with 7 six and 9 boundaries. He took the game away from Devils. Suresh Raina made the finishing task with an innings of 49 run. Earlier, Virender Sehwag played another outstanding innings of 74 runs from just 38 balls. But he did not get good support from his fellow. But they still managed to score 185 runs from their allocated overs.
Delhi captain Dinesh Kartik said, the way Hayden was batting, he took the game away from us. 185 was a good score but the bowlers failed to win it for us. It would have gone either way if we had bowled well in the first 6 overs.
Chennai captain Suresh Raina said, Hayden, Murali played really well. It's not easy to bat with Hayden, you have to be on your toes always. Tough to play with Dhoni not in the playing eleven, hope he will be back soon. Our fielding was good, thanks to the fielding coach.
Man of the match Mathew Hayden said, Mongoose bat helped me and I have been practicing a lot of late. The bat has the same power as the normal one; you don't need to get the meat of the blade to deposit the ball over the ropes. This format is here to stay.

‘Disappointing to lose in front of a fantastic crowd’- Shane Warne said after being lost with Daredevils
Delhi Daredevils beat Rajasthan Royals by 6 wickets in Indian Premier League 2010. Batting first Rajasthan royals lost wickets in regular intervals. But young Jhunjunwala made his best effort with his unbeaten fifty to reach the total on 141 from 20 over. Chasing a moderate total Delhi opener Virender Sehwag was too fantastic to play a tornado innings of 75 from just 34 balls. Daredevils chased the total from 17.1 over with 6 wickets remaining. Shane Warne said that, Disappointing to lose in front of a fantastic crowd. We got off to a good start but it all went backwards after 6 overs. If we don't win, then surely a lot of questions would be asked but we have to show some character and bounce back as quickly as we can. Viru is a wonderful player and he is one of my favourite batsman to watch except when he plays against us. Winning captain Gautam Gambhir said that, Viru's batting made things easy for us. read more in Dhaka News.

Quickest hundred of IPL
Mumbai Indians beats Rajasthan Royals by 4 runs in the heart breaking t20 cricket match of Indian Premier League 2010. Batting first, Mumbai scored 212/6 from their 20 over. Shourav Tiwary and Ambati Ryudu scored two quick fifty to reach that mammoth total while Sachin and Sanath gave a flying opening start for Mumbai. Chasing a big score of 213 Rajasthan Royals were never been to their task until 9th over and before Yousuf Pathan came into crease. Yousuf Pathan started to chase a required rate almost 14 runs per over. He just started to show some boundary and over boundary exhibition and made an exclusive hundred from just 37 balls. Unluckily he was run out while Mumbai were almost out of the match. But, Mumbai kept their heart alive to bring the match into them for a 4 run victory. It was IPL's quickest hundred from any batsman.
Rajasthan Captain Shane Warne said that, 'I am proud of the way the guys fought. Perhaps we gave away 20 extra runs but we can all be happy with the effort. Some guys are still finding their feet as they are coming out of hibernation but credit to the Mumbai Indians for holding their nerve. I have seen Sachin smash all of us over the park but in the last 21 years Yusuf's innings was perhaps the best I have ever seen.' Read Sachin tendulkar's comments in Dhaka News
