Arjun Tendulkar bowled a sensational last over as Mumbai Indians held their nerve to seal a 14-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL on Tuesday.
The left-arm seamer, son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, gave away just three runs off the bat and also took his first IPL wicket as Mumbai defended their total of 192-5, dismissing the hosts for 178 in Hyderabad.
Tendulkar had bowled two overs with the new ball and was then entrusted by captain Rohit Sharma to bowl the final with 20 runs to play with. The 23-year-old executed his yorkers perfectly and sealed victory with the wicket of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, caught at covers. He finished with 1-18 from 2.5 overs.
"It is quite exciting to play with Arjun. He has been part of the squad for the last three years. I have seen him grow," Sharma said. "He understands what he wants to do, and he is quite confident he can do it."
Mumbai's other fast bowlers played their part in restricting Hyderabad, even as pace ace Jofra Archer continued to be benched due to an elbow issue.
Jason Behrendorff (2-37) and Riley Meredith (2-33) gave very little away in their eight overs and made excellent use of the dry surface to get late movement.
The foundation of Mumbai's win was set by their top order. All-rounder Cameroon Green hit an unbeaten 64 off 40 balls, while captain Sharma (28) Ishan Kishan (38) kept the scoreboard ticking. A late charge by Tilak Varma (37 off 17) powered their finish.
Green struck three successive boundaries to reach his maiden IPL fifty and followed it up with a six and along with fellow Australian Tim David took the total past 190.
South African's left-arm quick Marco Jansen took two wickets but missed a face-off with his twin brother Duan Jansen, who made his IPL debut for Hyderabad in the previous match but did not make the XI for this game.
Green then returned with the ball to bowl four frugal overs for 29 and also took a wicket to complete a brilliant day, justifying the $2.1 million the franchise paid for his services.

Iran's dirty tricks to dodge sanctions
There’s increased scrutiny on the tricks being used to keep commodities flowing to and from blacklisted countries. Here’s a description of how some work.
1 Going Dark
A common method to transport Iranian oil with stealth is to turn off the Automatic Identification System, an electronic device that pinpoints a ship’s location. Known as going dark, a vessel flicks the switch before berthing and typically reappears days later, masking the location of its load or discharge port.
2. Ship-to-Ship Transfers
A first vessel will take its clandestine cargo away from the country in question before transferring it to a waiting ship, all of this happening out of sight. The vessels will then sail in different directions. For about a third of Iranian exports, more than one tanker typically handles a load before it’s delivered to its final destination, analysts say.
3. Fake Destinations
Signaling the wrong destination to load or unload is another technique. Ships that intend to take cargo from Iran may indicate their loading ports in sanction-free places like Iraq. Ships can keep changing their destinations and end up not berthing at any of them.
4. Rebranded Barrels
Iranian barrels can also be rebranded as oil from a nation free from sanctions such as Iraq. The countries share fields along their border and the crude has similar characteristics. Oil from these deposits can be trucked out to another port and documents forged to hide Iran as the origin.

Who is Tim-Berners Lee?
Sir Tim Berners-Lee was born in London in a household of mathematicians and computer scientists. Both his mother, Mary Lee, and father, Conway, were early computer scientists who worked on the Ferranti 1 - the world's first commercially-available, general purpose digital computer. Sir Tim studied Physics at the University of Oxford and held a series of roles developing code and building software before moving to Switzerland to work for Cern, the European Particle Physics laboratory. He developed the worldwide web code as a side project in 1989 as a global information-sharing system. After releasing the first web code in 1991, Cern made it open and free for all to use. Sir Tim now campaigns for initiatives to make sure the web remains open and accessible to all.
