Indian opener Rohit Sharma's maiden T-20 century in the HPCA Stadium went in vain and South Africa began their long Indian tour on a winning note thanks to some sparkling stroke play by J P Duminy (68 not out) and A B de Villiers (51).
Test skipper Hashim Amla (36) and ODI skipper de Villiers laid the foundation of the win with their 77-run opening stand and then Duminy took over to guide the visitors to the finish line. His 68 runs was scored off just 34 balls and it was his 105-run unbeaten partnership for the fourth wicket with Farhaan Behardien (32 not out) that sealed the game in their favor.

IPL8 – Delhi Daredevils dared Mumbai Indians - register win at home

#IPL8 #DDvsMI #ShreyasIyer #Duminy It was a sterling performance for Delhi opener Shreyas Iyer who managed to post a 56-ball 83 (7x4, 5x6). He, along with his skipper J P Duminy helped his team to post a formidable score of 190 in front of the visiting Mumbai Indians at Feroze Shah Kotla grounds in Delhi. Yuvraj Singh gave another flop show – he scored only 2 runs.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 24 April 2015.

J P Duminy remained unbeaten with 78 off 50 balls by hitting three fours and six sixes.
Their combined strength paved the way for Delhi Daredevils to register their third victory of the season by beating Mumbai Indians by 37 runs.
Imran Tahir captured 3 wickets for 22 runs and Shreyas Iyer was declared the Man of the Match.
Mumbai Indians had won the toss and sent in the home team to bat first but had not expected to see the way runs kept coming. Faced with a stiff target, Mumbai Indians did not really get off to a rollicking start. By the 11th over they were down to 82 for 4. Once Rohit Sharma fell with the score at 131, others followed in quick succession. Even Harbhajan Singh, a savior at times, did not click.
With this win, DD moves up the points table to No 4 while MI languishes at the bottom of the rung.
