| What a comeback from Mumbai! They only conceded seven runs in the last two overs and picked up five wickets to bundle Delhi out for 172. Before that, Delhi were looking good to go beyond 190, but the bowlers stepped up and the away team will be the happier side going into the break. |
| Delhi got off to a decent start with Prithvi Shaw playing some lusty blows before getting out. Then it was David Warner and Manish Pandey who steadied the ship for a bit, but Pandey could not stick around for long. They lost their way in the middle as they kept losing wickets, but just like in all the other matches, Warner held one end and registered another half-century. However, Axar Patel took charge and smashed a brilliant fifty off just 23 balls to provide the much-needed impetus. Both |
| The star of the moment for Delhi, Axar Patel is in for a flash interview. Says that he was backing himself and went through with his shots if the ball was in his slot. Adds that the ball was stopping on the surface and holding the shape while hitting was important. Mentions that he tried not to hit the ball hard. Feels that 172 is a challenging total on this wicket and hopes to defend this total. |
| Mumbai, on the other hand will have mixed feelings about their bowling performance. They got an early breakthrough, but could not build on them. However, Piyush Chawla absolutely brilliant in the middle overs and got rid of the middle order alone. They were a bit sloppy in the field and dropped crucial chances which has cost them some extra runs. But they pulled things back nicely in the last two overs with Jason Behrendorff and Riley Meredith coming good. Chawla was the pick of the bowlers |
| Right then, Delhi have posted a fighting total on the board, but they would have liked some more as dew could be a factor. Mumbai have the momentum on their side and they will need to start well to set the base for this chase. They have the quality, but they have to show that on the field now. It is going to be an exciting chase to watch. Let's see how it unfolds. |

| Strategic-Break! Mumbai are cruising through this run-chase with Rohit Sharma leading from the front and Tilak Varma providng him the required support.

| 19.6 : The Indian T20 League, 2023 continues to deliver cliffhangers every night and at the end of this one, it is Mumbai who come out on top. Mumbai were made to work hard but they are finally off the mark in the Indian T20 League, 2023. As far as Delhi are concerned, it was a case of so near yet so far but they will take pride in taking the game till the final ball. |
| Anrich Nortje to Tim David, Mumbai win a thriller here! Anrich Nortje nails a low full toss around off, Tim David jams it out towards long off and sets off for the run, the batters turn around for the second as David Warner charges onto the ball and throws it at the keeper's end, but his throw is too high and Abishek Porel has to jump and collect and then break the stumps as Tim David puts in a desperate dive. The replay shows that David is in safely. MUMBAI WIN BY SIX WICKETS! |
| In their pursuit of 173, Mumbai were off to a flying start courtesy of the opening pair. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan found boundaries at will and the away side raced to 70 in 7 overs. Just when the duo was going along nicely, a mixup between the two resulted in the departure of Ishan Kishan. This unfortunate dismissal did not deter Rohit Sharma as he kept going at the other end and ensured that Mumbai kept up with the required run rate. Tilak Varma was at his fluent best as well and sti |
| After failing to bat the full quota of 20 overs, Delhi had their backs against the wall and they surely gave it their all in their bowling effort. The home team did not manage to start well and they leaked a lot of runs in the Powerplay. Their spinners did find some good purchases on this surface but were unable to find any success during the middle overs. They did manage to get rid of Tilak Varma and capitalised on that scalp by dismissing Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma in the space of a |
