In this match played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Mumbai batted first and scored a challenging score of 162 runs, but Delhi achieved this target in the 19th over itself. The hero of this victory was young batsman Sameer Rizvi, who completely changed the course of the match with his explosive innings.
Delhi’s disappointing start
Delhi had a disappointing start to chase the target of 163 runs. The team soon lost the wickets of both its opening batsmen.

Despite the initial setbacks, Sameer Rizvi took the responsibility and batted aggressively.
Rizvi’s brilliant innings
Rizvi first played with patience and completed his half-century in 31 balls, but after that he started scoring runs rapidly. He played a brilliant inning of 90 runs in 51 balls, which included 7 fours and 7 sixes. His powerful batting completely turned the match in Delhi’s favor. His performance this season has been consistently excellent and he has scored 160 runs in two matches. He also made important partnerships of 66 runs with Nishanka and 78 runs with Miller.
Suryakumar’s brilliant half century
Suryakumar, who was captaining Mumbai Indians, scored a brilliant half-century. In the absence of regular captain Hardik, he scored 51 runs and tried to take control of the team. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma contributed 35 runs, but the team’s score did not prove to be enough to win.
