Tendulkar powers Mumbai to the top

Mumbai Indians 181 for 5 (Dhawan 56, Tendulkar 72) beat Chennai Super Kings 180 for 2 (Raina 83*, Badrinath 55*) by five wickets

	Sachin Tendulkar struck his third half-century of this IPL to steer Mumbai to the top of the points table

Sachin Tendulkar was the rudder, Shikhar Dhawanprovided propulsion, and they combined for a 92-run opening partnership which charted Mumbai Indians' course for success at the Brabourne Stadium. The victory helped the hosts steam past Royal Challengers Bangalore and take top spot in the league with a game in hand. The absence of major setbacks during the pursuit of a formidable target, on a day their usually efficient bowling attack failed, emphasised Mumbai's status as one of the tournament favourites
