... Time for the post-match Presentation ...

The stand-in captain of Mumbai Indians - Suryakumar Yadav reflects on the loss. He says that it was a decent wicket, they thought it would be on the slower side but they were 15-20 runs short. Adds that he does not want to take anything away from the DC bowlers and says they batted really well in the second innings as well. Praises Rizvi for his outstanding knock, coming in at 7/2 and batting like that, he never let them get back in the game. Mentions that the pitch did not change much, they just couldn't execute their plans like the Delhi bowlers managed to do. Shares that they thought 180-185 would have been a good total, but he and Dhir got out at the wrong time. Ends by saying that they will take the learnings from this game and come back stronger in the next one.

162 wasn't enough in the end - Earlier, Mukesh Kumar did the initial damage with the ball, and the MI batters never quite found top gear. Rohit started promisingly but couldn't cut loose, falling to a short, wide delivery. SKY swept well, rotated strike smartly, and compiled a well-controlled, nicely paced fifty before a skiddy Ngidi delivery caught him lbw just when MI needed him most. Axar and Vipraj kept things tight in the middle phase, and Natarajan and Ngidi peppered the tail with bouncers, yorkers, and slower balls to choke the finish with smart variations. It was looking like MI would fall well short, but Santner and Bosch played crucial cameos down the order, pushing the total past 160.

The Sameer Rizvi show crashes the MI party - Sameer Rizvi shifted gears and went into overdrive, taking apart the bowling with effortless power. He stitched together a vital 78-run stand with David Miller, though Miller contributed just 11, underlining how dominant Rizvi was in that middle phase as he dismantled MI’s plans with a free-flowing 90 off just 51 balls. Amid all the carnage, Jasprit Bumrah still managed to be the most economical but went wicketless, and the lack of support and regular breakthroughs eventually proved to be MI's undoing.

A useful alliance to set the base - Delhi Capitals found themselves in early trouble, losing KL Rahul and Nitish Rana inside the Powerplay to slip to 7/2. Nissanka refused to let the pressure build, counter-attacking to drag DC back into the contest. The bowlers, particularly Santner, kept things tight with disciplined lines, but Nissanka dropped on 41, and Rizvi played the situation smartly with their 66-run partnership before the former was eventually dismissed. DC were 73/3 at halfway, with still a lot to do, matching MI's score at the same stage.

DC roar to a famous win - A dominating display by the hosts, Delhi Capitals, to get two wins in two games to set the marker early in a long season. This victory will feel even sweeter, having come against a strong Mumbai Indians side. Both wins have come while chasing, but more importantly, their bowling and batting have looked perfectly in sync in both.

STRATEGIC BREAK! The game has far drifted from the visitors now. For the second game in a row, Bumrah goes wicketless. He didn't concede many runs this time around and kept it really tight, finishing with 0/21 in his 4 overs. But Mumbai Indians haven't been able to pick regular wickets to stall the momentum DC have with them.

STRATEGIC BREAK​​​​​​! It's been a decent going for the Capitals. Yes, the runs haven't come thick and fast as they would have hoped for. But on a pitch where you need to manufacture the shots, Rizvi and especially Nissanka have gone about their business pretty nicely. Delhi Capitals need 97 from 66 balls, which is not at all a tough ask by modern-day standards, but MI would be mindful that a couple of quick wickets will surely tilt the balance of the game in their favour.

You need to take those defending a total like this one.

Mitchell Santner to Sameer Rizvi, No run.A shout for caught behind, but turned down! Flatter delivery, shortish and around leg. Sameer Rizvi gets low to swipe it away but misses.
