McCullum tried a glance down to fine leg only to glove the ball to Adam Gilchrist. Chris Gayle, after scoring a four and six consecutively off RP Singh, went for one shot too many, holding out to Harmeet Singh at long off.A struggling Ganguly was soon to follow. He was out in his archetypal fashion, attempting a flashing drive and edging a Harmeet Singh delivery to Laxman in the slips. Kolkata were limping at 16/3.A mini partnership was taking place between Chopra and Hodge before Chopra was out, stumped to a well-crafted ball by Ojha. The wily left arm spinner struck again by luring Shukla out of the crease only to find the bails removed by Gilchrist.Running out of partners, Hodge carried on with his innings scoring 31 runs until he became the next man to go. After scoring two boundaries off Scott Styris, he was out to a sharp reflex catch by Gibbs. In the same over, Scott Styris sent Henriques back to the pavilion thanks to an impressive catch by Rohit Sharma at short-covers.The dismissal brought Agarkar to the crease. However, he did not stay long. After hitting a massive six, Agarkar was run-out to a brilliant fielding effort by Rohit Sharma again. RP Singh finished off the Kolkata tail by picking up Ishant Sharma and Ashok Dinda. Kolkata could only manage 101 runs.The Hyderabad openers went about the chase in the manner as expected from them. Boundaries flowed freely from both the openers' bats.

Persistent rain forced the match between Punjab and Delhi to be shortened to a 12 over affair.Delhi left out the exciting Warner, and opted to include 
left-arm quick Dirk Nannes. They also opted to rest Glenn McGrath, preferring to preserve him for the business end of the tournament.Virender Sehwag won the toss and inserted Punjab in as expected with the overcast conditions and the shortened match.The decision was made to look extremely silly in the first half of the Punjab innings, with Karan Goel and Ravi Bopara going beserk. Goel got out off the last ball of the 6th over, with the score a formidable 67 for 1.From there things started to go downhill for Punjab as they managed only 37 more runs for the loss of 6 more wickets in the next six overs.Spin was king again with Daniel Vettori turning in a spell of 3-0-15-3. His spell also saw two of Punjab's batsmen run themselves out needlessly - with Yuvraj Singh being the culprit on one occasion and Piyush Chawla suffering on account of Irfan Pathan's reckless call.Punjab eventually ended up on a fairly decent 104 for 7, but it was at least 20 runs short of where they should have ended after the start they got.If the first half of the Punjab innings saw one way traffic with the ball being fetched regularly from the stands, the second half saw one way traffic in the other direction, with batsmen trooping back to the pavilion.When Delhi came out to bat, what Punjab needed was quick wickets. What they got was 11 balls of a Gauti-Viru special, before the skies opened up with heavier rain than there had been all day. The hottest opening pair in the business blasted four 4s and a six in those eleven balls to take Delhi to 24 without loss.When play started again, the target had been revised to 54 from 6 overs - which meant Delhi had just 30 more to get from 25 balls, with a rampaging Sehwag and an equally belligerent Gambhir at the crease. The break did nothing to stem the flow of runs, and Delhi needed only 18 more balls (3 overs) to knock off the runs. At the end Sehwag was unbeaten on a furious 38 off 16 balls, while Gambhir looked positively snail-like on 16 off 13 balls, while Delhi had won at a canter by 10 wickets. It says much for the might of the Delhi team that they won comfortably even though they rested McGrath and didn't pick Twenty20 specialist Warner.Man of the Match:Daniel Vettori, whose crucial spell put the brakes on Punjab's free scoring and made the job much easier for his formidable batting lineup.Turning Point of the Match:11th over of the match, bowled by Vettori. Before the over Punjab were at 91 for 3. At the end of the over, they had slid to 98 for 6. Vettori's tight bowling contributed to two suicidal runs resulting in two run-outs and he picked up the wicket of Jayawardene too.Soundbytes:"It's nice to have Sehwag and Gambhir on the same side for a change!" - Daniel Vettori gets candid, with memories of India's tour to New Zealand still fresh."Sachin and Rahul are legends of the game, they have 10000+ runs in both ODIs and Tests, so they can adapt to any format. I'm proud to play in the same team as them" - Virender Sehwag makes a heartwarming comment about two people he's grown up watching and played alongside.

Sachin Tendulkar led from the front as Mumbai Indians launched their campaign in the second edition of the Indian Premier League with a stunning 19-run victory over last year's runners-up Chennai Super Kings.
The Mumbai Indians first rattled up a competitive 166 for seven ri
ding on Tendulkar's masterly unbeaten 59 and quickfire 35 by Abhishek Nayar and then stopped Chennai Super Kings at 146 for seven in a tight game at the Newlands stadium.
It was a commendable display by the Mumbai outfit who outplayed their fancied opponents in all departments of the game to gain two points and start their campaign in a resounding fashion.
Tendulkar played a pivotal role by anchoring the innings with a crafty unbeaten 59 but it was young Abhishek Nayar who provided the impetus late in the innings with a 14-ball 35 which took Mumbai to a decent total on what appeared to be a rather spongy track.
The experienced Sanath Jayasuriya was the other notable performer for Mumbai Indians with a 20-ball 26 while Shikar Dhawan chipped in with 22.
Chennai never really recovered from a disastrous start and although Matthew Hayden (44), captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (36) and Andrew Flintoff (24) got decent scores it was not enough to overhaul the Mumbai target.
Sri Lankan paceman Lasith Malinga was the pick of the Mumbai Indian bowlers with impressive figures of 4-0-15-3 while the wily Jayasuriya chipped in with two wickets. Chennai lost opener Parthiv Patel in the second ball of the innings and found it difficult to maintain the asking rate which kept climbing as the innings wore on.
While Tendulkar, who was adjudged man of the match, paced his innings brilliantly it was Nayar who changed the complexion of the game with his lusty hittings.
Nayar was particularly severe on Andrew Flintoff, the most expensive player of the second edition of the IPL, as he blasted him for 22 runs, including three sixes, in one over to give the innings the much needed boost in the end.
Put into bat, the Mumbai Indians got off to a decent start with the two stalwarts Tendulkar and Jayasuriya maintaining a fairly brisk pace though the Newlands track was not really conducive for strokeplay.
The left-handed Jayasuriya was the more aggressive of the two batsmen as he picked up the inexperienced paceman Manpreet Gony for special treatment by clobbering him for a few boundaries.
Tendulkar, in tremendous form of late, got a reprieve when he was on 10 with Australian Matthew Hayden dropping a simple catch in the first slip, much to the disappointment of his teammates.
But Hayden made amends soon after by latching on to a simple catch at the mid on region to send back Jayasuriya who was looking quite dangerous. Sri Lankan paceman Thilan Thushara provided the breakthrough for Chennai Super Kings.
Jayasuriya failed to control his shot as the ball balooned to Hayden who made no mistake this time around. The former Sri Lankan captain's 20-ball 26 contained five boundaries.
Shikar Dhawan joined Tendulkar and the duo took the score to 82 before Gony got rid of Dhawan as he tried to accelerate the pace of scoring shortly after the break.
The Mumbai team lost the wickets of J P Duminy (9), the young South African sensation, and West Indian Dwayne Bravo (5) in quick sucession to be reduced to 102 for four at one stage. It was mainly due to Nayar's stunning assault that Mumbai Indians could surpass 150 mark as his 14-ball 35 was laced with three sixes and two fours.
Bangalore Royal Challengers vanquish Rajasthan Royals
Stripped of captaincy, Rahul Dravid batted with vengeance to set up a 75-run win for Bangalore Royal Challengers against defending champions Rajasthan Royals in the secon
d match on the opening day of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Newlands here Saturday.
After deciding to bat first, Royal Challengers recovered from a poor start with Man of the Match Dravid's 66 to put up a modest 133 for eight in 20 overs.
In reply, another Bangalore veteran Anil Kumble picked up five wickets for just five runs to stun the defending champions, whose innings folded up for just 58 runs in 15.1 overs. It was also the lowest score in the IPL.
Dimitry Mascarenhas (3-20) raised hopes for Rajasthan Royals early in the innings when he picked up openers Jesse Ryder and Ross Taylor in the first two deliveries to put Royal Challengers on the back-foot. Maverick Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne (2-18) then unfurled his tricks to do further damage by picking up wickets lower down the order.
Newly appointed skipper Kevin Pietersen (32) tried to show some resistance but didn't last long. But it was the 48-ball innings from the experienced Dravid that set up the innings for the Bangalore team.
Dravid went about his job in his cool and calm way and kept on collecting runs in singles. He mixed his innings with both orthodox and inventive shots to give his bowlers a total to defend. Dravid's 48-ball innings was studded with eight boundaries and one six.
In reply, Praveen Kumar (2-7) started the proceeding well for Royal Challengers by moving the ball both ways. He picked up opener Swapnil Asnodkar in the fifth ball off the innings to a rash stroke and caught by Dravid. Graeme Smith (2) was his next victim in the next over as Rajasthan Royals were reduced to two for seven.
Next it was the turn of old warhorse Kumble, who even after his retirement from international cricket, showed that he is still a force to reckon with with his five-wicket haul.
Tyron Henderson, Yusuf Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja were the only Rajasthan Royals who could get to double
