Sachin Tendulkar leads Mumbai to win

Sachin Tendulkar starred with the bat once again as the Mumbai Indians strolled to their second win in a row in the Indian Premier League.


Tendulkar, who is Mumbai captain, followed up an unbeaten 46 against Delhi last week with a 55 not out knock to help his team defeat Royal Challengers Bangalore with nine wickets to spare.


Bangalore, led by Daniel Vettori, struggled to get going but 91-run third wicket partneship between Tillakaratne Dishan (59 not out) and AB de Villiers (38) allowed them to set a challenging total.


In the end, Tendulkar's superb strokeplay was to much for Bangalore as Mumbai reached their target with nine balls to spare.


England v India tickets for the July Test matches are available now.
