0.0 : Strategic Break! A much more balanced middle phase with Mumbai being able to pick up more wickets and just slow down the run-scoring a bit. However, a blistering cameo from Shai Hope has kept Delhi hovering well above 12 runs per over and they will be eyeing something around 250 runs. Mumbai have a couple of overs of Jasprit Bumrah up their sleeve and it will be interesting to see how Delhi counter him. With that said, Bumrah does come back into the attack as Mumbai recognize that this is the

17.4 : Luke Wood to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! This is pure class from Tristan Stubbs and Luke Wood cannot believe it. Goes for the straight yorker and misses it by an inch or two, Stubbs brings out the reverse flick again and gets it flat over the leaping man at short third for another boundary.

19.5 : Nuwan Thushara to Axar Patel, Aerial but safe!
19.6 : Nuwan Thushara to Tristan Stubbs, Just the single to end then! Goes full and wide and gets it spot on this time, Tristan Stubbs stays back and has to fetch the ball, can't quite get under it and ends up swatting it to wide long on for a run. They look for two but decide against it and 17 runs come off the final over. Delhi finish with 257/4 on the board!
0.0 : Another day, another score over 250 in the Indian T20 League. Delhi have batted exceptionally well and posted a mammoth score of 257 for 4 in their 20 overs. This is also their highest score in the competition. Having put into batting first, Delhi started aggressively with Jake Fraser-McGurk scoring a blistering 84 off just 27 balls. Abishek Porel (36), Shai Hope (41), and Rishabh Pant (29) all played impressive knocks through the middle at a quick rate. Tristan Stubbs continued his good form
It was a flat wicket and Mumbai bowlers were taken to the cleaners right from the beginning. Jasprit Bumrah and Piyush Chawla were the pick of the Mumbai bowlers as they went for less than 10 runs to the over and took a wicket each. Luke Wood and Mohammad Nabi were the other wicket-takers but it was an off day overall for the bowling department of Mumbai. 
Jake Fraser-KMcGurk, the star of the show for Delhi is down for a chat. He says that it is his role to try and get as many runs as he can in the first 6 overs. Adds that he isn't looking for ones and twos at all unless it is the last ball of the over of a mishit. Mentions that it is about getting the base right and that took him a few years to develop and reckons that there's a lot of timing involved but some muscle power as well when the ball is mishit.
Right then, Mumbai needs 258 runs to pull off a win. They have the batting resources and will have to be confident. Can the visitors chase it and get much-needed two points or will the home side continue their good form? We shall find out. Join us in a bit for the second essay.

The ball also holds into the deck and Suryakumar Yadav is taken aback, ending up nurdling the ball down towards cover where Lizaad Williams takes a good low catch. Khaleel gets his second and Mumbai in a
0.0 : Strategic Break! Mumbai have had a decent start in terms of runs scored and are going at almost 11 runs an over but they have lost 3 big wickets.

0.0 : Pheww! Yet another high-scoring encounter in the Indian T20 League and it went right down to the wire but in the end, it is a resurgent Delhi who have won the game and have made it 4 wins out of the last 5 matches. Delhi also avenge the defeat they suffered at the hands of Mumbai in the reverse fixture at the Wankhede Stadium. Also, once again the match total surpassed 500 runs and is the highest aggregate T20 total at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Delhi just had that bit more and those early wickets were really the telling factor in this game. Lizaad Williams showed great signs in the very first over but was a bit wayward after which Khaleel Ahmed sent back Rohit Sharma in the third over, opening the doors for his side. Mukesh Kumar got Ishan Kishan off his first delivery and then Khaleel got the big wicket of Suryakumar Yadav in the final over of the Powerplay. However, a rare thing happened as Kuldeep Yadav was put away by Mumbai
Mumbai needed 258 runs for the win and got off to a quick start in the first two overs after which they lost Rohit Sharma and when the Powerplay ended, they had lost their top three batters for 65 runs. Tilak Varma however took the reigns and along with skipper Hardik Pandya launched a counterattack. Pandya went berserk in one over from Kuldeep Yadav and injected momentum into the chase before he was eventually caught out. Varma kept on pressing and brought up a half-century before Tim David
Hardik Pandya, the captain of Mumbai says that the game is getting a lot closer and the competition is top-notch. Adds that they had the belief to chase it down and backed themselves. Shares that a couple of overs in the middle were slow and that they should have taken a few more chances. Lauds Jake Fraser-McGurk who played a calculated innings and was smart in the approach. Ends by saying that he wouldn’t have changed his decision at the toss.
Rasikh Dar, one of the stars of Delhi's win is down for a chat. He says that the wicket was flat but they were ready for the challenge. Adds that he is playing to the team’s demand and trying to fulfil the role. Says that he aims to be confident and back his skills. Mentions that they plan during the game and in the game on what to bowl and it helps them. Closes by saying that getting the keeper up to the stumps in the 18th over was a smart move and it worked for them.
Earlier in the game, Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first and this decision back-fired immediately as Jake Fraser-McGurk went into overdrive mode and smashed the Mumbai bowlers, along with Jasprit Bumrah as Delhi scored 92 runs in the first 6 overs. Mumbai did get some control back once Jake got out as Abishek Porel couldn't quite kick on but Shai Hope played a fine cameo of 41 runs from 17 balls to keep the scoring rate high. Rishabh Pant wasn't at his best but got some usef
Rishabh Pant, Delhi's skipper says that they were happy with the score. Adds that the Impact player rule is making it difficult for the teams. Mentions that the bowler needs to be comfortable with the keeper coming up to the stumps. It was to stop Tim David from getting out of the crease and it helped them. Lauds Jake Fraser-McGurk who has been amazing for the squad and he is getting better each day. Ends by saying that they are not thinking too ahead and taking one game at a time.
Jake Fraser-McGurk is the Player of the Match for his spectacular knock. Jake says that he was pretty7 nervous going up against Bumrah and was watching his footage but reckons when you are out there, it all goes out of the way and it is just about watching the ball and hitting and adds that it is good testing yourself against the best in the world. Menti0ons that when he is not watching the ball properly, he isn't able to time the ball well and says that his form is good for him and the team a
Right then, that is all from this game but the action in the Indian T20 League isn't over yet, not by any means. It is a doubleheader Saturday and the second match of the day is underway with Lucknow taking on Rajasthan and Lucknow are batting first in that game. You can simply switch tabs and catch our coverage of that game. Cheers!
