Sachin Tendulkar has inspired Mumbai Indians to a crushing 98-run victory over Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday. Tendulkar cracked 63 off 32 balls as Mumbai scored 7-218 off their 20 overs.

Australian paceman Dirk Nannes was the most economical of the beleaguered Delhi bowlers, finishing with figures of 0-35 off his four overs.

Delhi struggled to keep up with the required run rate thanks largely to some tight bowling from West Indian pair Kieron Pollard (1-24) and Dwayne Bravo (2-11) as well as Sri Lankan allrounder Sanath Jayasuriya who took 2-17.

A quickfire 24 from Virender Sehwag was the highlight of the Daredevils’ innings as they lost their last six wickets for 41 runs to slump to 120 all out with 21 balls remaining.
