Cape Town - Ambati Rayudu and Kieron Pollard provided some late-order batting heroics to secure a fourth consecutive win for the Mumbai Indians as they beat the Delhi Daredevils by five wickets in the IPL on Tuesday.

In pursuit of a target of 153 for victory, the pair came together at 100 for five with just under five overs remaining and proceeded to smash the Delhi bowlers to all parts of the Wankhede Stadium as Mumbai won with three balls to spare.

Rayudu ended the match unbeaten on 49 while burly West Indian Pollard scored 26 not out off just 14 balls, including three massive sixes, as the duo cliched the win despite their side slipping to 40 for four in the chase.
