DC vs MI Highlights, IPL 2026: Impact substitute Sameer Rizvi continued his red-hot form with a sensational knock as Delhi Capitals outclassed Mumbai Indians by six wickets in their first home game of IPL 2026 on Saturday.
Chasing 163, the 22-year-old Rizvi starred with a breathtaking 90 off 51 balls, smashing seven fours and seven sixes to anchor the chase. Despite an early top-order wobble for the second successive game, Delhi recovered strongly through a 66-run partnership for the third wicket between Rizvi and Pathum Nissanka, who contributed a solid 44 off 30 balls.
After Nissanka’s dismissal, Rizvi shifted gears effortlessly, taking charge of the innings. He stitched a match-winning *78-run stand with David Miller (17)**, guiding Delhi Capitals home with 11 balls to spare.
Rizvi initially played a supporting role but unleashed his full range after settling in. He hammered Corbin Bosch for 20 runs in a single over and followed it up with consecutive sixes off Mayank Markande, completely turning the game in DC’s favour. Though he fell short of a well-deserved century, his innings earned a standing ovation from the crowd.
Earlier, Delhi Capitals’ bowlers delivered a disciplined performance to restrict Mumbai Indians to 162/6. Stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav led the effort with a composed 51 off 36 balls, while Rohit Sharma chipped in with 35.
Mumbai struggled for momentum after early setbacks, with Mukesh Kumar striking twice in quick succession to remove Ryan Rickelton and Tilak Varma. Rohit and Suryakumar then steadied the innings with a 53-run partnership before Delhi’s spinners tightened the grip.
Captain Axar Patel was outstanding, conceding just 22 runs and picking up the key wicket of Rohit Sharma. Vipraj Nigam and the pace trio of Mukesh Kumar, Lungi Ngidi, and T Natarajan also contributed with timely breakthroughs.
Suryakumar tried to accelerate in the latter stages alongside Naman Dhir, but his dismissal soon after reaching his fifty stalled MI’s momentum. Regular wickets in the death overs ensured Mumbai could only post a modest total, which Delhi chased down comfortably.
