Match Wrap-Up
With Delhi coming in undefeated, Mumbai Indians really needed to up their game. Batting first, they seemed like they’re there to own the match this time. After the initial blowout, the players dutifully aced up. Among these were the energetic Tilak Verma with his 59 runs off 33 balls, and Ryan Rickelton smashing 41 runs from 25 deliveries. Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir too joined in, with 40 runs from 28 and 38 off 17, respectively. By then end, they had gathered 205/5 score, one beating which would require some solid strategy and gameplay.
Then came Delhi’s turn to bat. They had a huge target ahead of them to reach and Karun Nair put up a brilliant one-man show. His 89 off 40 is noteworthy and deserves special appreciation. His grit and aggression gave Delhi a good start but it would’ve been great if the following players matched up. But what happened was quite the opposite. DI lost one wicket after another, a dramatic three in a row, restricting DI to 193 runs in 19 overs.
The home team fell short of 12 runs to enjoy their consecutive win. Perhaps, this match broke their win streak and they got their reality check.
