Captain Rohit Sharma hit a superb 80 to help Mumbai Indians defeat Kolkata Knight Riders and taste success in the UAE for the first time in seven attempts across two IPL editions.
Mumbai lost five matches in the 2014 season and were defeated in the opener this year by Chennai Super Kings.
But that run ended on Wednesday. Sharma put on a second-wicket stand of 90 with Suryakumar Yadav, who made 47, to help Mumbai post 195-5 in Abu Dhabi.
Mumbai bowlers Trent Boult, James Pattinson, Jasprit Bumrah and Rahul Chahar took two wickets each to restrict Kolkata to 146-9.

Lt Gen Erik Petersen, deputy chief of programs, US Army, has argued it took a “three decade holiday” on modernising tanks.
“There clearly remains a significant armoured heavy ground manoeuvre threat in this world and maintaining a world class armoured force is absolutely vital,” the general said in London last week.
“We are developing next generation capabilities to compete with and deter adversaries to prevent opportunism or miscalculation, and, if necessary, defeat any foe decisively.”
