Mumbai Indians registered a commanding 59-run win over Delhi Capitals in a thrilling encounter. After being put into bat, Mumbai posted a competitive total of 180/5 in their 20 overs. In response, Delhi Capitals faltered under pressure, getting bundled out for just 121 in 18.2 overs.
Delhi’s chase began on a shaky note, with KL Rahul (11), Faf du Plessis (6), and Abishek Porel (6) falling cheaply. Despite a brief resistance from Sameer Rizvi (39 off 35) and Vipraj Nigam (20 off 11), wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals. Mitchell Santner starred with the ball, taking 3 wickets for just 11 runs, while Jasprit Bumrah chipped in with 3 crucial scalps of his own.
Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar also made vital contributions with the ball, effectively choking the Capitals' middle order. The disciplined bowling attack ensured Mumbai never let the game slip out of their hands.
With this emphatic win, Mumbai Indians showcased their depth and form, sending a strong message to the rest of the teams in the league. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, will need to reassess their batting approach ahead of their next clash.
