nd Innings Delhi Capitals

Right then, the first game of a doubleheader Sunday is done and it is Mumbai who have been fourth-time lucky rather than third-time lucky and now every team has at least one win under their belt. The second match has already started and it is Lucknow batting first against Gujarat in Lucknow. You can simply switch tabs and follow our coverage of that game. Cheers!

Romario Shepherd is the Player of the Match with his stellar cameo with the bat and exploits with the ball as well. Romario says that his hard work paid off and the coach gave him the chance to express himself and so did the skipper. Adds that in situations in which he came out to bat, you can't think much and need to keep a clear mind. Mentions that he pre-meditated one shot and says that he tries to keep it 50-50 with his batting and his bowling and ends by joking that his power comes from food.

Hardik Pandya the skipper of Mumbai says that it was a lot of hard work and they had the right intent and it all went well this game. Adds that with Suryakumar Yadav back in the side there will be just a couple of tactical changes but the team looks well settled. Mentions that the belief and backing in the camp is great and they just needed one win. Appreciates the opening batters and everybody else who are chipping in when it is needed. Says that Romario Shepherd's inning won them the game and he is extremely proud of the way he batted. Concludes that everything was covered well and that's why he didn't have to roll over his arms.

The Presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, after having been put into bat first, Mumbai set the stage for victory with a blistering batting display right at the start and then at the death as well. The openers scored 75 runs in the first 6 overs with Rohit Sharma in devastating form. However, neither openers could get to their fifties and skipper Hardik Pandya had to play an anchoring knock. It was Tim David who reignited the flame in the death overs with a quickfire knock and then Romario Shepherd just took things up a notch in the final over, hammering 4 sixes and a couple of 4s to take Mumbai to 234 runs. With the ball, Axar Patel bowled a tight spell and got wickets and made things happen in the field as well. Khaleel Ahmed and Jhye Richardson were just about decent but Anrich Nortje fumbled big time and he will certainly have a few nightmares of that 20th over that he bowled. In replay, Delhi batted well in patches and a couple of players stood out but Mumbai had the edge.

Ishan Kishan is now down for a quick chat. He says that they played to their potential and this is what they are capable of and got the result they were looking for. Adds that he has played a lot here and mentions that it does get tough for batting after the first 6 overs which makes the Powerplay very important in terms of batting. On Romario Shepherd, he says that he was working very hard in the nets and they are aware of his power and he delivered. Ends by saying that he is feeling good.

Rishabh Pant the skipper of Delhi says that they were in contention but feel they could not capitalize on the powerplay and with mounting pressure and the run rate over 13-14 runs it gets hard to cope. Adds that one over here and there can change the moment for the side and they can either blame that or get better at it. Talks about the deck and says that the slower ones were sticking a bit but was a good track to bat on. Concludes that they will look to improve on making the most of the Powerplay and the death bowling going ahead.

Delhi will eventually feel that they could have actually ended up on the winning side even after that final over where Anrich Nortje conceded 32 runs but it was the Powerplay with the bat that was equally disappointing. The openers failed to pick the pace of the pitch early on and Warner fell early. Prithvi Shaw and Abishek Porel stitched together a 88-run stand but they were always behind the eight-ball by then. Both Shaw and Porel played valiant innings but it was yet again Tristan Stubbs who just looked settled from ball one and played an unreal knock of 71 runs off just 25 balls and even remained unbeaten. He didn't get the strike at all in the final over and he would have looked to lessen the margin of defeat which was disappointing for him. Overall, Delhi need to buck up as they still have just the single win.

MUMBAI ARE FINALLY OFF THE MARK! Now that was an entertaining game and Tristan Stubbs almost pulled the rabbit out of the hat for Delhi but it just wasn't meant to be and Mumbai always had a few too many runs on the board. Mumbai had the runs on the board and got a brilliant start with the ball as well. The pacers didn't allow the opposition batters to get off to a flier and half the game was won inside the Powerplay itself as they saw the back of David Warner as well. They then faced a stern resistance for the second wicket partnership but Jasprit Bumrah had his say by crushing the leg stump of Prithvi Shaw and Mumbai yet again got back on top. They did get hit for boundaries here and there but managed to pick up wickets and Bumrah's highly economical spell of 2 for 22 runs was the difference-maker. Gerald Coetzee picked up three wickets in the final over to end the game with 4 wickets overall and there's a huge sense of relief among the Mumbai players.

Is that out? Oh, dear! Axar Patel has been foxed by the keeper here and that is a smart piece of glovework from Ishan Kishan. It is sent upstairs and the replays show that Axar was out of his crease and mostly it was his laziness that got him out. OUT comes up on the board.

The skipper of Delhi, Rishabh Pant walks out to bat at number 5 with his side needing 91 runs off 30 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah to Abishek Porel, OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? The one-time Jasprit Bumrah misses his mark in this one, he gets his wicket and that is his 150th Indian T20 League wicket!

Mumbai will have to tighten the flow of runs from the other end while Jasprit Bumrah continues to show his magic. A brilliant finish to this exciting game is set to unfold.

st Innings Mumbai Indians

We are back with the chase! The two umpires make their way into the middle followed by the Mumbai fielders. It will be David Warner and Prithvi Shaw to open the innings for Delhi with the bat. Akash Madhwal is the impact substitute coming in for Suryakumar Yadav. Gerald Coetzee is handed the new ball and will start the proceedings for Mumbai. Away we go..

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Rishab Pant's decision of opting to bowl first appeared to backfire as the Mumbai batters launched a ferocious assault right from the start, catching the Delhi pacers off guard. Despite the introduction of spin during the powerplay, the flow of runs continued unabated, leaving Delhi trailing in the early stages of the game. It was then Axar Patel who finally broke through for Delhi soon after the powerplay, providing the crucial breakthrough of Rohit Sharma, which was swiftly followed by Anrich Nortje's dismissal of the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav for a duck. Subsequently, the Delhi bowlers managed to regain control, tightening their lines and lengths to restrict the flow of boundaries. Their disciplined approach in the middle overs prevented the Mumbai batters from scoring freely up until the 15th over. The bowlers then lost track conceding 96 runs in the last 5 overs with Anrich Nortje being smoked for 32 runs off the last over of the innings. With momentum against them, Delhi will have to come all guns blazing to stand a chance to chase this big total of 235 runs down. Will they be able to get through? Or will Mumbai continue their onslaught with the ball and register their first win of this season? We shall soon find out as the chase comes to you in a bit.

Tim David is up for a chat. He says that it was pretty exciting to be at the other end and watch Romario hit the ball. Adds that things haven't been going their way so they had to go hard and all that momentum Romario gardened in the final over is crucial. Reckons that the wicket did slow up a bit and hence, that final over is even more important. On that ball that almost hit his face, he says that he was scared that it might smash right in and ends by joking that it is definitely the first three he has got at the Wankhede.

Romario Shepherd's explosive cameo, scoring 39 runs off just 10 deliveries, has significantly bolstered Mumbai's innings, enabling them to post a commanding total of 234 runs on the scoreboard which the skipper, Hardik Pandya will be mighty pleased about. After being put in to bat first, Mumbai's opening duo of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan launched a blistering assault on the Delhi bowlers right from the outset. Their aggressive strokeplay confounded the field placements, allowing them to establish a formidable foundation of 75 runs by the conclusion of the powerplay. With Rohit Sharma's departure at a well-crafted 49 runs, Mumbai suffered a temporary setback as the returning Suryakumar Yadav fell for a duck, losing two wickets in quick succession. Although Hardik Pandya managed to find occasional boundaries, the middle overs witnessed a slowdown in run-scoring as Mumbai lost a couple more wickets including Ishan Kishan who looked good, enabling Delhi to claw their way back into the game. However, a pivotal 60-run partnership between Tim David and the skipper provided Mumbai with a much-needed boost. It was then Tim David and Romario Shepherd who put up a 53-run partnership off 16 balls that propelled Mumbai to a mammoth total of 234 runs.

Strategic break! Mumbai has stormed off to a sensational start, laying a solid foundation courtesy of an impressive opening partnership that amassed a formidable 80 runs before Rohit Sharma was dismissed. With the platform firmly established, Mumbai will be eager to capitalize on this momentum and set their sights on a substantial total. Delhi after a rocky start have managed to break the partnership and will now look to claw their way back into the game that has drifted far away from them. With that, Suryakumar Yadav comes to bat at number 3 for Mumbai while Delhi bring in Anrich Nortje to bowl his first over.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of Mumbai, says that they would have also liked to bowl first although batting first isn't a problem with the deck being a dry one.

TOSS - Delhi win the coin flip and Rishabh Pant opts to BOWL first.

It is ESA day as well here at the Wankhede. ESA stands for Education and Sports for All and there are about 18,000 young kids inside the stadium which is a great initiative from the Mumbai franchise.

On the flip side, Delhi have managed to secure just one victory out of their four matches thus far, leaving them just one step ahead of Mumbai on the points table. Despite glimpses of form, the team has struggled to translate their efforts into tangible results. Skipper Rishabh Pant has been a consistent performer with the bat, but he will require more substantial contributions from the rest of the batting lineup. While the bowling unit faced a tough challenge in their previous outing against Kolkata, they have otherwise delivered decent performances. However, they will need to raise their game against the formidable Mumbai batting lineup. Cohesion will be key for Delhi to turn the tide and return to winning ways. With much at stake, both teams will be eager to rectify their shortcomings and clinch a much-needed victory in this crucial encounter. Who do you think will get across the line? We shall soon find out as the Toss and team news comes to you in a bit.

Mumbai has faced a challenging start to their campaign, enduring three consecutive matches without tasting victory, a position that sees them languishing at the bottom of the league table. With performances falling below par, much rests on the shoulders of skipper Hardik Pandya to orchestrate a turnaround and infuse the team with renewed energy and determination. The return of the reliable Mumbai batter, Suryakumar Yadav, comes as a relief to the side which undoubtedly will offer much-needed stability to their batting order. Although his presence in this game is yet to be confirmed, his contribution will be instrumental in propelling Mumbai back to their winning ways, a reputation they have long been renowned for. However, concerns linger over the bowling unit, which has yet to hit its stride. In the past, Mumbai's bowling prowess has been a formidable force, and they will be keen to rediscover that lethal edge to bolster their quest for success in the tournament.

Greetings and a warm welcome to match number 20, marking the culmination of the third week of action in this season's Indian T20 League. This thrilling double-header Sunday commences with Mumbai playing host to the formidable Delhi side at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. As both teams have encountered a challenging start to the season, they will be poised to ignite their campaign with a much-needed turnaround.
