trick by off-spinner Rohit Sharma propelled the Deccan Chargers a 19-run victory over the MumbaiIndians in their Indian Premier League match on Wednesday. Sharma, who took four wickets in five balls and finished with the remarkable figures of 4-6, was named Man of the Match as Mumbai, chasing 146, collapsed from 97 for three after 14 overs to 126 for eight in their 20 overs. The Chargers, who ended a run of three successive losses, share first place in the standings with the Delhi Daredevils, who have a game in hand, after scoring a modest 145 for six. Sharma also shone with the bat, top-scoring 38 off 36 balls for the Chargers. His fellow spinner Tirumalsetti Suman took two key wickets and conceded just 14 runs in his four overs. Mumbai had been cruising, needing 49 runs in six overs with leading internationals JP Duminy and Dwayne Bravo at the crease. Suman struck a telling blow with the first ball of his second spell when he had Bravo (13) caught on the long-off boundary by Australian Ryan Harris. Duminy went on to score a top-class half-century off 45 deliveries but, with some rash strokes being played at the other end, Mumbai found themselves needing 38 in three overs. Sharma was brought into the attack in the 16th over and dismissed Abhishek Nayar and Harbhajan Singh with successive deliveries in his first over. Duminy (52) then edged a sweep into the gloves of wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist off the first ball of Sharma's next over and Saurabh Tiwary was stumped in the same over. T20 rehearsal for Pakistan, Australia Pakistan and Australia will get some practice for next month's Twenty20 World Cup tournament when they play a one-off version of the game at the Dubai Stadium Thursday. The match will be the last international encounter for both teams before next month's tournament in England, and Pakistan captain Younuis Khan wants to make the best of it, after losing a one-day series against Australia. “We need to take full advantage so that we know where we stand. It's good to have a match against world's top team,” said Younis, whose team lost the one-day series that ended Sunday in the United Arab Emirates 3-2. In the inaugural World Twenty20, held in South Africa in 2007, Pakistan finished runner-up to India and beat Australia in the Super Eight Stage by six wickets – to date the only T20 match between the two teams. But Younis believes Thursday's game will be no pushover. “We have to be at our best to win this match because Australia are dangerous in all forms of the game,” said Younis. Pakistan has included two teenagers in its squad of 15 for the World Twenty20, left-arm paceman Mohammad Aamir and spinning all-rounder Shazaib Hassan. However, both will be absent against Australia Thursday. Australia's stand-in skipper, Brad Haddin, taking over after Michael Clarke returned home for a rest after the one-day series, hoped for an exciting clash. “It's been a great one-day series and Pakistan have some very talented players; a few of those guys can win a game by themselves,” said Haddin. Australia will see the return of regular captain Ricky Ponting, batsman Michael Hussey and spearhead Mitchell Johnson – all rested for the Pakistan series – in the Twenty20 World Cup, along with Clarke. Australia may also get a chance to assess further the fitness of pace bowler Brett Lee, who has joined the squad for Thursday's game and is tipped to play. – AgenciesToday's Matches 1330 Bangalore Royal Challengers vs. Rajasthan Royals 1730 Chennai Super Kings vs. Kings XI, Punjab __
