| 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. |

| 0.2 : Trent Boult to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Shaw and Delhi are up and running! That was off the outside edge but Shaw played with it soft hands. Good length ball just outside off, shapes away a touch and an outside edge is induced that runs wide of the short third man fielder for a boundary. |
| 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. |
| 0.0 : James Pattinson returns. Went for 10 in his first over. Can he strike for Mumbai inside the Powerplay? |

| 7.4 : Kieron Pollard to Shreyas Iyer, One more run. Good length and around off, it is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| 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 |

| 9.2 : James Pattinson to Shreyas Iyer, Good delivery! This is around off on a length, angled in, pushed back to the cover fielder. |

Pandya bowls a loopy ball around off, Dhawan looks for the reverse sweep and this one comes off the top edge and goes over de Kock's head towards the short fine leg area. 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. |

| 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! |
