Mumbai Indians 166 for 7 (Tendulkar 59*, Nayar 35) beat Chennai Super Kings 145 for 7 (Hayden 44, Malinga 3-15) by 19 runs
- Season 08, McCullum smashed an unbeaten 158 to set up a crushing win for his side
- A year later, as season two got underway across the Indian Ocean in different conditions and under grey skies, Sachin Tendulkar batted 20 overs for an unbeaten 59 from 49 balls
- It was as valuable as McCullum's blitzkrieg, if utterly different in execution and appeal, for it came on a track not entirely conducive to batting and laid the platform for Mumbai Indians' victory
- Sachin scored the first 50 in the second edition of IPL
Bangalore Royal Challengers 133 for 8 (Dravid 66, Mascarenhas 3-20) beat Rajasthan Royals 58 (Kumble 5-5) by 75 runs
- A charged-up Royal Challengers brought Rajasthan Royals to the second-lowest total in Twenty20 history
- There may be plenty of fresh faces but it was the old hands, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble, who were the stars in Bangalore's massive victory
- The wall was the most assured batsman on display, making a polished half-century, while jumbo took the most economic five-wicket haul in Twenty20s to clean up Rajasthan
