Bangalore, May 28: The semifinal door had already been slammed on them but Mumbai Indians at least had the consolation of signing off with a win as they spanked Bangalore Royal Challengers by nine wickets in an inconsequential rain-truncated match here today.

Chasing 123 to win from 18 overs, the Mumbai side cruised to 126 for one in 16 overs with Sanath Jayasuriya (54) and Sachin Tendulkar (40 not out) scoring bulk of the runs.

Earlier, Dilhara Fernando (4-18) mowed down the Bangalore top order while Dwayne Smith (3-26) wrecked the middle as Mumbai Indians restricted the hosts to a meagre 122 for nine in 18 overs.

Chasing 123, Jayasuriya and Tendulkar decided to wrap it up early and the Sri Lankan especially went berserk.

Jayasuriya smote Praveen Kumar for a massive six in the third over before tormenting R Vinay Kumar, who was hit for two successive sixes, followed by a boundary in the action-packed eighth over.

Anil Kumble could not escape Jayasuriya's wrath either as the left-hander first hit the spinner for back-to-back fours and then hit him for his 31st six of the tournament.

Dale Steyn finally halted the rampaging Sri Lankan in the 12th over when Jayasuriya was caught at sweeper cover.

The damage, however, had already been done and Jayasuriya not only featured in a 96-run opening stand but also dominated it with his scintillating strokeplay en route to a 37-ball blitzkrieg that included fours boundaries and as many sixes.
