it was to discuss the "modalities".
"The committee had its first

investigations into the spot fixing issue. The committee will
not make any further comments
on this issue. The media will be
notified with press releases after
each and every meeting,"
Justice Mudgal said.
The other members of the
committee are additional solicitor general of India L

Amazing Anderson takes Mumbai
Indians to IPL play-offs
MUMBAI, May 25:
Kiwi
batsman
Corey
Anderson conjured up an astonishing 95-run knock under
tremendous pressure to singlehandedly
power
Mumbai
Indians to the IPL play-offs as
the hosts rattled Rajasthan
Royals by five wickets in a highscoring thriller, here today.
Requiring to chase down a
190-run target within 15 overs,
Mumbai Indians overhauled the
target in 14.4 overs when Aditya
Tare hoisted James Faulkner for
a six.
In a heart-stopping finish,
when scored were tied in 14.3
overs, Tare pulled off one of the
most memorable strokes of his
career with that six that helped
his side sneak into the play-offs.
It was a humongous task to
score 190 runs in 14.3 overs as
the target was initially but
Anderson, who holds the world
record of scoring fastest hundred in One-dayers, showed his
worth with one of the most
destructive knocks in IPL.
His unbeaten 95 runs came
off 44 balls with nine fours and
half-a-dozen sixes.
With this win, Mumbai
edged out Royals on Net-RunRate to book a Qualifier match
against Chennai Super Kings on
Wednesday at Braborn stadium
here.
Anderson did what Yusuf
Pathan did to Sunrisers
Hyderabad yestreday.
Mumbai were 61 for 3 and
looking down the barrel but lefthanded Anderson and Ambati
Rayudu shared a game-changing
81-run stand for the fifth wicket.
Rayudu blasted 30 runs off
just 10 balls.
Tare sounded the death-knell
for Royals with a first ball six
off left-arm quick Faulkner, who
conceded 54 runs without taking
a wicket. Royals bowling let
them down badly.
Earlier, Sanju Samson and
Karun Nair hit came up with
responsible knocks to help
Rajasthan Royals post an imposing 189 for four after being put
into bat.
Samson scored 74 off 47
balls while Nair took 27 balls for
his 50-run knock as the two
young batsmen shared a 100-run
stand in 57 balls after early
departure of Shane Watson.
Samson, who opened the
innings instead of Ajinkya
Rahane, hit three sixes and
seven fours, while Nair's knock
was studded with two sixes and
seven fours.
Big-hitting Australians Brad
Hodge (29 not out) and James
Faulkner (23 off 12 balls) then
joined hands in the last five
overs to add 49 runs for the
fourth wicket.
Royals were 59 for one at
half-way mark and went on to
score 130 runs in the last 10
overs.
Mumbai need to win the
match inside 14.3 overs to edge
out their rivals on better net run
rate to qualify for the play-offs.
The tall Faulker swung
Harbhajan Singh for successive
sixes over mid wicket and a
square cut four in the offie's
final over, 17th of the innings, to
take the score past 150.(PTI)
Kings XI Punjab maul
Daredevils by seven wickets
CHANDIGARH, May 25:
Delhi Daredevils' final IPL
outing was as woeful as their
opening one, with table-toppers
Kings XI Punjab inflicting a
seven-wicket defeat on the tournament's wooden spooners here
today.
Batting
first,
Delhi
Daredevils' batting flopped once
again as they were shot out for
115 in 18.1 overs with Kevin
Pietersen's half-century being
the only saving grace.
In reply, Kings XI Punjab
knocked off the runs with as
many as 37 balls to spare. David
Miller (47 no) and Manan Vohra
(47) smashed 96 runs in 10
overs to seal the issue.
It turned out to be contrasting campaigns for both the
sides. On one hand, Daredevils
lost 12 of their 14 matches,
including nine in a row, Kings
XI Punjab won 11 of their 14
encounters to end with 22 points
- four clear of second and third
placed KKR and CSK respectively.
Virender Sehwag (9) and
Glenn Maxwell (0) were out
cheaply but Mannan and Miller
smashed the Daredevils bowlers
into submission. Manan hit four
fours and two sixes in 38 balls
while Miller hit as many fours
and sixes in 34 balls. He lofted
Imran Tahir for a six to end the
match in style.
Earlier, Kevin Pietersen (58)
finally got a half-century, which
had nine boundaries with a few
bearing testimony of the vintage
'KP' but his teammates again
showed that most of them didn't
have the application nor zeal to
finish with their heads held high.
In the end, they were all out
with as many as 11 balls to
spare.
Parvinder
Awana,
Mitchell Johnson, Akshar Patel
and Karanveer Singh got two
wickets each.
Save their skipper, none of
the Delhi batsmen scored more
than 15 runs.
Mayank Agarwal (2) once
again played an irresponsible
shot as has been the case with
him in this edition and was
caught by Virender Sehwag off
Johnson.
With 115 runs from eight
games, there will always be
questions raised about whether
the Bangalore boy deserved a
chance in the playing XI after so
many failures.
Dinesh Karthik (13) had
three boundaries but closed his
bat face off Awana to give a simple catch to Patel.
Save an odd performance
here and there, the Tamil Nadu
stumper didn't inspire any confidence in either front or behind
the stumps.
Kedar Jadhav (0), promoted
up the order, tried to hit Awana
over mid-off, but Vohra took a
smart overhead catch to reduce
Daredevils to 44 for three at the
end of Powerplay.
Manoj Tiwary (8) was a victim of a mix-up as non-striker
Kevin Pietersen ran straight to
the batsman's end without looking at the point fielder, who
lobbed it back to the bowler at
the non-striker's end to do the
needful.(PTI)
