Mumbai, which suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Tamil Nadu on Monday night, crushed Haryana by 8 wickets on Tuesday morning in their second Group B match of the national Twenty20 tournament at the lovely Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.
Sachin Tendulkar played yet another explosive innings and this time his teammates ensured that his effort did not go waste.
Mumbai required only 126 runs to win the match, which they scored in only 14.4 overs for the loss of just 2 wickets.
The maestro scored 69 off 40 balls before he was bowled by Amit Mishra. He hit all the bowlers with disdain and played a string of scintillating shots. In all, he smashed 9 fours and 2 sixes.
Tendulkar and Ajinkya Rane, who remained not out on 50, put on 100 for the first wicket and laid a solid foundation for Mumbai's convincing triumph. The youngster, too, seemed to derive inspiration from his legendary partner and played a very fine innings.
