Scorecard summary
Mumbai Champs 115/5(20 overs)
Delhi Giants 116/4(18.2 overs)

So in the end its the Giants who coast home in spite of an early wobble. Abbas Ali guided them through the chase, notching up an unbeaten 64 in the process. The drives by Ali were a sight to behold.

The Champs' bowlers toiled manfully to keep their team in the hunt, but it was never on as they had only 116 to defend.

Abbas Ali has been awarded the Man-of-the-Match award

Giants seem to be a well-oiled machine based on today's performance. They have their bowling in place but the batting requires just a little more effort. Champs, on the other hand, have found it tough even in the second edition of IPL.
