  Ishan Kishan seals the deal with a six and

  Mumbai Indians have annihilated Delhi Capitals by nine wickets. More crucially, they have won the game inside 15 overs and that has caused Delhi Capitals' Net Run-Rate to dip below Kings XI Punjab.

  The equation has now gotten simpler for the other teams while for Delhi Capitals, they are now on the brink of elimination. This is their fourth consecutive loss. For Mumbai Indians, this win seals a top-two spot for them.

  WICKET! Anrich Nortje has gotten the big wicket of Quinton de Kock but one feels it is too late for Delhi Capitals as Mumbai Indians are continuing to cruise towards the target. Perhaps, they might not be able to get to the target in under 15 overs.

  Ishan Kishan has reached a fifty and Mumbai Indians are 82/1 in the 12th over.

  Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock are making superb progress, something that the Delhi Capitals team failed to do in their innings. They have blunted Ashwin and Rabada well and are laying the base to chase this total down in under 15 overs. This win will not only boost their NRR but they will be assured a top-two spot irrespective of whether Royal Challengers Bangalore win their remaining games. Anrich Nortje has been hit for three fours and

  after five overs, Mumbai Indians are 27/0.

  Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan have started steadily. Ashwin and Kagiso Rabada are bowling in the right areas.

  Mumbai Indians are 10/0 after three overs.

  Just in: If Mumbai Indians chase down Delhi Capitals' score of 110/9 inside 15 overs, then Delhi Capitals' net run-rate will fall below Kings XI Punjab

  . Then this would mean that Kings XI Punjab will have to win against Chennai Super Kings and hope Delhi Capitals lose Royal Challengers Bangalore. If Sunrisers Hyderabad win both games and Kolkata Knight Riders do not win by a big margin against Rajasthan Royals, then they will eliminate Delhi Capitals.

  Delhi Capitals' sorry exhibition of batting has come to an end.

  After 20 overs, they have finished on 110/9 with Kagiso Rabada being run out

  . If Mumbai Indians chase this down quickly, then it will further impact Delhi Capitals' net run-rate and they could be eliminated in dramatic circumstances. Once again, Delhi Capitals have thrown everything away after a great start to the tournament.

  WICKET! Superb catch from Krunal Pandya and Trent Boult gets his third wicket. Superb catch to dismiss Ashwin and this might mean that Delhi Capitals might not even get to 110 as Jasprit Bumrah might be bowling the last over.

  In the 19th over, Delhi Capitals are 96/8.

  
• 31 Oct 2020, 04:42 PM

  WICKET! Shimron Hetmyer falls to Nathan Coulter-Nile and that just about sums up Delhi Capitals' misery. The batting is absolutely suffering a tailspin and that is a major cause of worry for Shreyas Iyer's side with just one game to go.

  In the 16th over, Delhi Capitals are 78/7

  with just R Ashwin as the only recognised batsman.

  WICKET! Jasprit Bumrah is on fire here and he takes his third wicket by trapping Harshal Patel in front. He now has figures of 3/14 and one wonders whether Delhi Capitals can even get to 120.

  In the 15th over, Delhi Capitals are 78/6.

  
• 31 Oct 2020, 04:30 PM

  WICKET! Jasprit Bumrah is on an absolute roll. He has taken his second wicket and he traps Rishabh Pant LBW from round the wicket with a ball that is slanted in sharply.

  Delhi Capitals are 63/5 in the 12 overs and in tatters

  
• 31 Oct 2020, 04:24 PM

  WICKET! Rahul Chahar gets Shreyas Iyer stumped. This was bound to happen. Rishabh Pant was struggling at the other end and so was the Delhi Capitals skipper. The pressure was too much and the wicket has fallen. Jasprit Bumrah also gets into the act as he gets rid of Marcus Stoinis. After such a good start to the tournament, Stoinis has absolutely fallen off the radar.

  After 11.1 overs, Delhi Capitals are 57/4

  
• 31 Oct 2020, 04:16 PM

  At the half-way stage, Delhi Capitals are at 49/2

  . Looking at the way how they are going, it will be a miracle if they can get to even 120. The bowling from Mumbai Indians has been spot on.

  
• 31 Oct 2020, 04:06 PM

  Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant are struggling to score aggressively. This is a very slow pitch and batting is definitely not being easy out there. A total close to 150 could be challenging for the Mumbai Indians.

  After eight overs, Delhi Capitals are 40/2.

  WICKET! Boult takes his second wicket and Prithvi Shaw's comeback is a poor one. Trent Boult angled the short delivery across and it climbed up on Shaw who went for the pull but ended up top-edging it to Quinton de Kock.

  After five overs, Delhi Capitals are 19/2 and in trouble against Mumbai Indians.

  
• 31 Oct 2020, 03:38 PM

  WICKET! Oh dear! This is a terrible start for Shikhar Dhawan. After the highs, come the lows. Trent Boult get Shikhar Dhawan for 0 and it is a great catch by Suryakumar Yadav.

  Delhi Capitals are 1/1 in the first over

  against Mumbai Indians.

  
• 31 Oct 2020, 03:07 PM

  There are some changes in both the sides. Hardik Pandya is resting today and so Jayant Yadav gets his first game. Three changes in the Delhi Capitals line-up. Prithvi Shaw is back. Harshal Patel is in while Praveen Dubey makes his debut for Delhi Capitals. Here are the playing 11s

  Delhi Capitals (Playing XI)

  : Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Harshal Patel, Praveen Dubey, Kagiso Rabada, Ravichandran Ashwin, Anrich Nortje

  Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard(c), Jayant Yadav, Rahul Chahar, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah

  Mumbai Indians have won the toss and they will bowl against Delhi Capitals

  in Dubai. Kieron Pollard walked out for the toss but Rohit Sharma was part of the huddle. However, he is still not playing. Looks like both Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals might not make any changes to their line-up.

  A warm welcome to the 51st IPL 2020 clash between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians from the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Kings XI Punjab's loss to Rajasthan Royals has given many teams a big lifeline, especially for Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The equation is simple, if Delhi Capitals win today, they will qualify for the playoffs and join their opponents Mumbai Indians. If Royal Challengers Bangalore win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the next game today, then Virat Kohli's team will also seal qualification. For Kings XI Punjab, if they lose their last game against Chennai Super Kings, they will be eliminated while the game between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders will be a straight shootout if they win by a big margin.
