| Strategic Time-Out! Mumbai are scoring at a brisk pace. They did lose Quinton de Kock early, but Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav are looking in fine form. If they continue like this, then it will be a very good platform for the middle order to go big. Delhi need to break this partnership and try to put Mumbai under pressure.

It goes towards long on where Steven Smith takes a simple catch. Poor batting from Pandya, he didn't even look to get a feel of things. He likes to put pressure on the bowlers straightaway but has perished this time. End of a wonderful over for Delhi. |
| 9.1 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Ishan Kishan, Tossed up delivery on middle, Kishan defends it off the back foot. |

| 10.4 : Kieron Pollard is the next batsman in. |
| Lalit Yadav to Krunal Pandya, OUT! BOWLED! Lalit Yadav gets into the act and Mumbai slide further here! Flatter ball, lands outside off and comes in with the angle. It is too close to his body but Krunal Pandya looks to run it down to third man. Ends up getting the inside edge back onto the stumps. |
| 10.5 : Lalit Yadav to Kieron Pollard, Flatter ball, around off. Pollard defends. |
| 10.6 : Lalit Yadav to Kieron Pollard, Shorter ball, lands on off. Kieron Pollard whips it to deep mid-wicket for one. |

Another wonderful googly, lands on a length outside off. Pollard doesn't pick it and is hit on the pads. The umpire raises his finger right away. Pollard has a chat with his partner and decides to review. Nothing on the Ultra Edge and umpire's call on Ball Tracker means that he walks back to the dressing room. |

Also, Marcus Stoinis is back on. 2-0-13-1 are his figures so far. |

| Great performance by Delhi with the ball. They kept things tight and picked up wickets at critical moments. Mumbai had a poor day with the blade. |
| Delhi were great with the ball. They picked up de Kock early and right when a partnership was building, Amit Mishra came in and brought them back on the track. Lalit Yadav bowled very well in the middle overs and so did Ashwin. Stoinis too had a good spell in the Powerplay. Rabada was expensive in his first over, but came back strongly at the death and kept things tight. Avesh Khan continued to impress in this season. They would be mighty pleased with the way they have performed. |
| Amit Mishra is down for an interview. He says that he is happy with his performance. Adds that he looked to bowl well and that is why he got wickets. Mentions that Hardik Pandya would go for big runs and he bowled to him accordingly. Further says that their batsmen should be able to chase down this total. |
| Can Delhi chase it down? It's a low total but Mumbai has been exceptional with the ball. Also, Delhi batters have not yet played at this ground so it would be interesting to see how they approach it. An exciting period of play coming your way, don't go anywhere... |
| Mumbai's batting was poor. Quinton de Kock fell early and then Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav steadied the ship. But once they fell, the rest of the batters fell quickly. Pollard and Hardik had no answers to Amit Mishra, whereas Krunal Pandya fell to Lalit Yadav. Ishan Kishan looked to take the innings deep but got out just when it was the right time to accelerate. In the end, they managed to get to a below-par score. |
| 0.0 : Chase begins! Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan will open for Delhi. Trent Boult will use the new ball. |
| 0.1 : Trent Boult to Prithvi Shaw, Starts with a full ball, on the stumps. Pushed back to the bowler. |

| 0.3 : Trent Boult to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Dhawan gets going in style! Short and wide outside off. Dhawan flays this over the point fielder and the ball runs to the fence. |
| 0.6 : Is that taken? The umpires have gone upstairs to get a second look. This looks very close, Hardik Pandya maybe has his fingers under it, maybe not. It's very very close. Dhawan has a smile on his face and so does Hardik Pandya. It looked out to the naked eye, but the replay shows that it is touch and go. The third umpire deems it to be not out. |
| Who will share the new ball? Jayant Yadav it is. |
| 1.1 : Jayant Yadav to Prithvi Shaw, Tossed up, on the stumps. Swept away to deep mid-wicket for a couple. |
| 0.5 : Trent Boult to Shikhar Dhawan, Beaten! Lovely delivery! Lands it full, outside off and gets it to shape away. Dhawan looks to drive but fails to get any bat on it. |
| 0.6 : Trent Boult to Shikhar Dhawan, NOT OUT! That was mighty close! Length ball, on off. Dhawan looks to work it to the leg side but gets the leading edge.

| 1.2 : Jayant Yadav to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Deft touch! Flatter ball, outside off. Shaw runs it down to the third man fence and picks up a boundary. |
| 1.3 : Who will come out now? Steven Smith it is. |
| 1.6 : Jayant Yadav to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! You can't bowl there to Dhawan! Even if you have picked up his opening partner, he will punish you if you bowl there! Short and wide outside off. Dhawan rocks back and cuts it past covers and gets a boundary. |

| It has been a great victory for Delhi. They did well to hold their nerves. It got a bit tense towards the end, but Hetmyer and Lalit Yadav did well to seal the chase for them. |
| Spinners bowled very well for Mumbai. Jayant Yadav picked up Shaw and put the pressure at the beginning. Rahul Chahar continued his great form and picked up the dangerous Shikhar Dhawan. Pollard rolled his arm over and Smith got out just when he was looking set. Boult was great once again and gave away just 23 in his 4 overs. Bumrah bowled a couple of no balls in the penultimate over and that didn't help their cause. Despite their good bowling, the total was too low to defend. |
| Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, says that they could have batted well in the middle overs. Adds that it has happened frequently and need to change it. Further adds that Delhi bowled really well and kept picking important wickets. Informs that his hamstring is fine and he should be fine soon. |
| Shikhar Dhawan, who is wearing the Orange Cap is down for a chat. He says that this wicket was very different from the one at Wankhede. Adds that they looked to keep wickets in hand, as they knew that bowling towards the end would be very difficult due to the dew. |
| Rishabh Pant, Delhi skipper, says that he is happy with the result. Adds that they needed to get off to a good start to chase this total. Mentions that Dhawan played very well. Further says that Amit Mishra's bowling brought them back into the game. Praises Lalit Yadav for his calm batting. Finishes by saying that, they have learned that wickets in hand are key while chasing totals. |
| Amit Mishra is named the MAN OF THE MATCH. He says that he is happy with his performance. Adds that he tried to execute his plans and it paid off. Mentions that he looks to pick the big wickets of Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya and he used his variations accordingly. Further says that he did not think that he will bat as he was confident that their batsmen will chase this total. |
| That is it from this game! We have a double-header on 21st April, 2021. The first game is between Punjab and Hyderabad in Chennai. Do join us for that at 1530 local (1000 GMT). The second game is between Kolkata and Chennai in Mumbai. Do join us for that at 1930 local (1400 GMT). Till then, take care and cheers! |
| Delhi started off badly as they lost Shaw early. But then Smith and Dhawan stitched a very good partnership. Smith was looking good and was anchoring the innings but got out to Kieron Pollard. Dhawan carried on his good form and scored 45 valuable runs. But he fell just when he was looking to up the ante. Pant too fell shortly after a while looking to take on Bumrah. They were a few tense moments towards the end but Shimron Hetmyer and Lalit Yadav saw them through. They planned their chase ver |
| Earlier in the first innings, Mumbai batsmen did not get off to a great start as they lost Quinton de Kock early. The partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma was crucial for them. Rohit Sharma was going well and was playing attacking shots but when he fell the collapse started for Mumbai. From 76/3, it became 84/6. The star for Delhi with the ball was the old fox, Amit Mishra, he picked up 4 wickets and rattled Mumbai. Ishan Kishan and Jayant Yadav's partnership helped them reach |
