| 0.0 : 1 vs 2! Delhi vs Mumbai! Two top teams go up against each other in the second game of Super Sunday. Both teams have performed really well and are the favourites to qualify for the playoffs. |
| Talking about Mumbai, they have been performing well since their first game. Their overall batting has clicked while the bowling has done exceptionally well. Rohit Sharma will be pleased with the performance of his side and will look to continue their good form after their victory over Rajasthan in their last game. |
| Delhi, on the other hand, look the team to beat as they have lost only 1 game and all the departments have clicked so far for them. Kagiso Rabada has led the pace attack well while the spinners have been excellent. Their batting has been in scintillating form and would hope to get the better of the Financial capital in this game. |
| TOSS - Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer are out in the middle for the toss. Up goes the coin and drops in the favor of Delhi. DELHI WILL BAT FIRST! |
| Shreyas Iyer, captain of Delhi, starts off by saying that he does not know why everyone is batting first and they are doing well defending a total and his bowlers are executing their plans well. States that there are two changes as Rishabh Pant is injured and Shimron Hetmyer are replaced by Alex Carey and Ajinkya Rahane. Says that the wicket looks amazing right now and they hope that it gets slow in the second half of the game. |
| The skipper of Mumbai, Rohit Sharma, starts off by saying that at the end of the day, regardless of the toss, they have to come and play some good cricket and that it is a good challenge for them to come and chase the target. States that they are unchanged. Feels that the guys in the team are putting their hands up as and when required so there is no need to chop and change the side. Says that it is a great journey for him as this is his 150th game for Mumbai but says that they have a job to |
| Right! Time to get going! The two umpires have made their way out to the middle. Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, is sharing the final piece of advice to his teammates in the huddle. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are the openers for Delhi. Trent Boult will take the ball first up. |

| 0.3 : Trent Boult to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! TAKEN! Soft dismissal. Boult draws the first blood. Full and a bit wide too, Shaw looks to drive but ends up chipping an easy chance for Krunal at covers. The ball turned a bit in Shaw's hand at the moment of the ball meeting his bat. |

| 2.2 : Trent Boult to Ajinkya Rahane, On a full length around leg, Rahane looks to flick this but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal but this was sliding down the leg side. |
| 2.3 : Trent Boult to Ajinkya Rahane, Short of a good length delivery around off, Rahane pulls this one but does not time it well as this comes off the lower part of his bat and goes to the man at mid-wicket. |
| 2.4 : Trent Boult to Ajinkya Rahane, Good length delivery around middle, Rahane drives this one to the fielder stationed at mid on. |
| 2.5 : Trent Boult to Ajinkya Rahane, EDGY FOUR! This is a lucky boundary for Delhi but they won't care! On a good length outside off, Rahane looks to drive this one but it goes off the bat's outside edge and goes past the diving de Kock into the third man fence for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : Trent Boult to Ajinkya Rahane, Good length on middle, Rahane works this one to the man at point and looks for the single but they decide not to take it in the end. |

| 0.0 : Bowling change! Krunal Pandya to bowl now. |
| 4.2 : Krunal Pandya to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! LBW! Rahane is a goner and the decision to give the ball to Krunal Pandya in the Powerplay has paid off for Mumbai. Not the start that Rahane would have wanted but he will have to walk back now. Flatter delivery around middle and leg, Rahane looks to flick this one to the leg side but misses and gets hit on the pads. A loud appeal follows and the umpire obliges raising his finger. He looks at Dhawan to decide if he should take the review but Dhawan d |

| 4.6 : Krunal Pandya to Shreyas Iyer, Another appeal but nothing from the umpire! Flatter around middle and leg, Iyer looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal follows but the umpire is not interested. This looked like it was heading down the leg stump. Another good over for Mumbai. |
| 5.1 : James Pattinson to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! That is played with soft hands! Cheeky boundary! Dhawan knew that the third man was up and he gently nudged this one towards the third man region for a boundary. |
| 5.2 : James Pattinson to Shikhar Dhawan, Back of a length around off, Dhawan comes down the track and plays this towards the cover region to run across for the single run. |

| 7.5 : Kieron Pollard to Shikhar Dhawan, Two now! This is superb running between the wickets. A good length ball just around off, Dhawan pushes it wide of the short third man fielder. It just goes out of the ring but they manage to scamper through for a couple of runs. |
| 7.6 : Kieron Pollard to Shikhar Dhawan, Shortish and outside off, played towards deep cover for a single. 10 from Pollard's first. |
| DRINKS! Mumbai have started off really well in this game so far. They have got rid of the youngster Prithvi Shaw and also the veteran Ajinkya Rahane. This was just the start that Mumbai needed. Delhi, on the other hand, have lost some 2 quick wickets but still have Dhawan and their skipper, Shreyas Iyer out in the middle. But since there Pant and Hetmyer are absent from this game, their middle order is looking a little thin. Mumbai will look to scalp another wicket to pile more pressure on Delhi |

| 11.5 : Jasprit Bumrah to Shikhar Dhawan, This one is around leg, Dhawan hops and flicks this one towards the deep square leg region to exchange ends with Iyer. |

The batters take the single run. |
| 14.4 : Krunal Pandya to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Iyer holes out! Krunal strikes in his last over. Banged short and on middle, Iyer goes for the pull but doesn't time it as well as he would've liked. He finds Boult at deep mid-wicket. Timely wicket for Mumbai one would assume becuase Iyer could've gone bonkers towards the end. |
| DRINKS! This was exactly what the doctor ordered for Mumbai, The Dhawan and Iyer partnership was looking dangerous and it is broken right on time. Delhi still have some batters left who can go bonkers and play really well with the bat. Mumbai will believe that their bowlers can restrict Delhi to a low score. Marcus Stoinis walks out for Delhi now. |
| 14.5 : Krunal Pandya to Marcus Stoinis, Full and on middle, Stoinis paddles it over short fine leg and gets a couple of runs to open his account. |
| 14.1 : Krunal Pandya to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! CARVED AWAY! Full and wide outside off, Iyer reaches out and slices it over point for a boundary. |

| 16.3 : Rahul Chahar to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! RUN OUT! There was some confusion there and Delhi pay the price for this mistake! This was a very cheap wicket to give away and Mumbai will be pleased. Loopy ball on middle, Stoinis works this one down the ground towards the long on fielder, Suryakumar. The batters take a single and there is a slight fumble by Suryakumar. Stoinis runs back looking for the second but Dhawan says no, by the time Stoinis can come back to his crease, the fielder has thro |
| Alex Carey, making his debut, is the new man in. |
| 16.4 : Rahul Chahar to Shikhar Dhawan, Loopy ball around middle, Iyer looks for the reverse sweep but this one comes off the top edge and goes high up in the air towards third man. Luckily for him, it lands safe and the batters collect a couple. |

| Well, Mumbai have done well towards the end of the innings as they did not concede a lot of runs. Delhi were looking for that 160-run mark and they will be happy that they have reached that figure and have posted 162 on the board. |
| Mumbai started off well with the ball. Prithvi Shaw was sent packing right in the first over. Ajinkya Rahane came out to bat for the first time this season, but his time out in the middle was short lived as Krunal Pandya sent him back. Iyer and Dhawan were good as they built up a good partnership but Iyer fell right before the second drinks break. Dhawan played really well for Delhi scoring a very well made 69 runs. |
| The bowling by Mumbai was once again good. They were not at their best, but they will be happy with their efforts. Krunal Pandya will be the pick of the lot as he was economical and also scalped 2 wickets. Bumrah was once again economical but he did not pick up any wickets. They conceded just 7 boundaries in the last 10 overs which is very good in a T20 encounter. All things considered, Mumbai were good with the ball. |
| Right then! Delhi have done well to post 162 on the board but they would have wanted a few more runs on the board. Mumbai's batting runs deep and they will be banking on them to chase this total down. Will the Hit-Man and co. come out on top or will Rabada and co. make life difficult for the batters of Mumbai? Join us in a bit for the chase! |

| 4.6 : Axar Patel to Rohit Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Axar strikes and it is the big wicket of Rohit Sharma! Once he gets going, there is no stopping him but Axar has done well to remove him right towards the end of the Powerplay.

This is a loopy ball around off, Rohit decides to slog this one over the mid-wicket region but he does not time this with his usual perfection.

| 0.0 : Axar Patel is back on for Delhi. 2-0-12-1 are his figures so far. |
| 12.2 : Axar Patel to Suryakumar Yadav, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Shaw is the culprit. Tossed up and outside off, Yadav sits down and goes for the sweep. Connects it alright but it is just to the left of Shaw. He tries to field but misses and the ball rolls to the fence. |

| 13.6 : Marcus Stoinis to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Excellent way to end the over. 14 off it. Not sure how Kishan reached out and managed to find the gap as well.

| Kagiso Rabada is back into the attack. 2-0-6-0 are his bowling figures so far. |
| 14.1 : Kagiso Rabada to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Runs coming thick and fast for Mumbai. A slower one from Rabada. It is wide outside off on a good length. Yadav slashes hard at it. He ends up hitting it little too fine towards the third man fence. |

| 14.6 : Kagiso Rabada to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! Rabada gets his man on the last ball of the over. Is this the start of the shift of the momentum?

A length ball just outside off, Hardik looks to launch it over the bowler's head but gets a thick outside edge. A simple catch behind the wickets for Carey. Two quick wickets and Mumbai might feel the pressure now. |
| DRINKS! Mumbai have been playing well but have seemed to stumble a little bit in the past couple of overs. They are still on top and it does look like they will chase this target down as they need just 33 runs in 28 balls.

| 17.4 : Kagiso Rabada to Krunal Pandya, A sharp bouncer outside off, Krunal sways away. |
| 17.5 : Kagiso Rabada to Krunal Pandya, Full and around off, Krunal pushes it through mid off for a run. |
| 17.6 : Kagiso Rabada to Kieron Pollard, Dot to end the over! A very full ball on middle, Pollard pushes it back to the bowler. Doesn't want to risk a run. 10 needed in 12 balls. |

| 19.1 : Marcus Stoinis to Krunal Pandya, FOUR! Pressure off straightaway from Mumbai. A poor ball on the pads of Krunal. It is full as well. Krunal picks it up and flicks it over short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 19.2 : Marcus Stoinis to Krunal Pandya, Risky single! They get it in the end. A good length ball around off, Krunal is cramped for room as he looks to cut.

| This has been a comprehensive performance from Mumbai both with the bat and the ball. They did not do much wrong tonight and will end this game with 2 more points in their bag. They will also overtake Delhi at the top of the table. Mumbai will be pleased with this performance. |
| The bowling by Delhi was not the best as in the middle overs, they were being hit around by Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav. They started picking up wickets but it seemed like it was already too late at that stage. If they could have scalped those wickets quicker, then we might have had a different result on the cards. Rabada was good once again as he scalped 2 wickets. Overall, not the best performance with the ball for Delhi. |
| Earlier in the day, Delhi won the toss and decided to bat first. Shaw and Rahane were back in the hut early on. Iyer and Dhawan did well to stitch a good partnership and it was Dhawan, who was the pick of the lot with the batting of Delhi as he had a good knock of 69. Delhi ended their innings with 162, but they were probably a few runs short, which proved to be the difference in the end. |
| Shreyas Iyer, the Delhi skipper, feels that they were probably 10-15 runs short. Feels the wicket of Stoinis in the form of run out cost them dearly as he was striking the ball really well and was spotting the ball like a football. Says that it was one of the main errors and they need to work on it. Feels Mumbai outplayed them in all the three departments. Says that the spinners bowled really well. Reckons had they taken a couple of more wickets inside the Powerplay, they would've been on top. A |
| Ishan Kishan is caught for a quick chat. Says that the middle overs were pretty important. Says that they needed to score runs and he managed to do that along with Suryakumar Yadav. Feels that both of them should've had finished the game but tells that it is good learning for them. Says that there was pressure on them as Delhi had a good bowling attack but says that it was all about having an intent out in the middle. Praises the performance of Yadav and says that he has been doing it for the te |
| Mumbai started off well but they lost their skipper Rohit Sharma right towards the end of the Powerplay. Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav then took over the batting and they batted well as both of them scored 53 runs respectively. Yadav continued his great form into this game as well. Mumbai stumbled a bit towards the end as they lost a couple of quick wickets but with experienced veterans like Pollard and Krunal Pandya out there, they saw this game off well and chased the target down comfor |
| Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, tells that the win means a lot to them. Says that he is really proud of the way they have played the first half of the tournament. Says that they did everything in this game right and have got two crucial points. Tells that they did really well with the ball to restrict the team and then were more or less clinical with the bat. Says that the plan while chasing it to make sure the batsman who is set finishes the game. Feels a couple of set batters got out unfortu |
| The Man of the Match is QUINTON DE KOCK! He starts off by saying that he enjoyed the win at the end of the day. Feels that he just kept it simple and mentions that he has batted well in the nets and that he needed to do the same in a match scenario. Adds that he knew he would score in a game and he just had to capitalize on the opportunity. Says that he does not think it is getting cooler going forward and that the team is starting to get used to the heat but it still is difficult due to the hea |
| Right! We have had a cracker of a Super Sunday. Both the games played today were very entertaining. In the first game, Rajasthan staged an unlikely comeback and beat Hyderabad right towards the end. In this game, Mumbai were the all-round better team and they deserve the 2 points for this performance. The action continues on Monday, 12 October 2020 at Sharjah as Bangalore take on Kolkata. This promises to be an exciting clash as Kolkata are 3rd in the table and Bangalore are on the 4th position |
