419.719.6: Mukesh Kumar to Corbin Bosch, FOUR! Misfield by Rana costs DC another boundary. Full delivery angling in from middle to leg, Bosch flicks it towards deep backward square leg. Nitish Rana slides in to his right but fumbles and parries the ball into the ropes. Nitish did the hard yards, but could have done better there. 14 runs off the final over. MUMBAI INDIANS FINISH AT 162/6!
7 Over | Run: 162/6 | Run Rate: 8.10
419.619.5: Mukesh Kumar to Corbin Bosch, FOUR! PUNISHED! At just 117 kph, on a good length, wide outside off. Bosch stays put, throws his bat at it and crashes the slower delivery through the covers for a boundary.
219.519.4: Mukesh Kumar to Corbin Bosch, Fired in at 134.6 kph, full and on middle. Corbin Bosch heaves it across to the left of deep mid-wicket. David Miller covers a good ground and cuts it off nicely in the deep. Two taken.
119.419.3: Mukesh Kumar to Mitchell Santner, Off pace on a hard length, on top of off. Santner drags it with a pull shot to deep mid-wicket for only a single.
019.319.3: Mukesh Kumar to Mitchell Santner, WIDE! Off cutter, dug into the pitch, short and miles outside off. Santner stands tall and reaches out for it, trying to club it over point, but fails to get any connection. Mukesh will have to reload this one again.
219.219.2: Mukesh Kumar to Mitchell Santner, Fullish in length at 132.8 kph, around off, Santner slices it over extra cover and hares back for the second. 150 UP FOR MUMBAI INDIANS!
019.119.1: Mukesh Kumar to Mitchell Santner, A crucial dot ball and an equally smart review! Back of a length, an off cutter that goes beyond the tramline on the off side. Santner wafts at it and misses. Wide given. Hang on! DC have reviewed it, challenging the on-field decision of wide. The replay shows that the ball is just about inside the wide guideline. Now, the third umpire requests to check the height of the ball as well. The Ball Tracking confirms that it is well below the natural head height of the batter. So, it is a fair delivery.
118.618.6: T Natarajan to Mitchell Santner, Slower ball once more, into the pitch, on off. Santner stands tall and controls the pull shot to deep square leg, but gets just a single. A wicket and only 4 runs from the penultimate over. 3-0-24-1 for T Natarajan.
6 Over | Run: 148/6 | Run Rate: 7.79
118.518.5: T Natarajan to Corbin Bosch, In front of middle, Bosch drives the full toss on the front foot, toward mid off and steals a run.
018.418.4: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! First wicket for Natarajan as he gets the reward for showing good variations. Slower short ball, angled away from the right-hander. Dhir goes for an ambitious pull but he is way too early into the shot and holes out to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. He couldn't have picked Tristan Stubbs any better in the deep. Mumbai Indians are 146/6, 8 balls to go.
118.318.3: T Natarajan to Mitchell Santner, Slowish length ball, around off, at 123.3 kph. Mitchell Santner is a bit early into the pull shot and gets a top edge. Airs it over the inner ring and it goes on the bounce to the deep mid-wicket fielder. Just a single. Excellent from Natarajan so far.
118.218.2: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, Pinpoint yorker, on off, Dhir drills it down the ground to mid off for a run.
018.118.1: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, Executes the yorker on off and middle from over the wicket. Dhir gets his bat down just in time and squeezes it out back to the bowler.

6 Over | Run: 144/5 | Run Rate: 8.00
117.517.5: Lungi Ngidi to Naman Dhir, Slow and wide, full in length. Naman eases it through mid off for a single.
017.417.4: Lungi Ngidi to Naman Dhir, A lengthy appeal from KL Rahul for LBW, but the finger stays down. Lungi Ngidi isn't so sure about it and they do not go for a review. A real toe-crusher from Ngidi, aimed at the sticks, with a bit of inward angle. Naman Dhir's head falls over as he tries to jam it. Seems to have got an inside edge on the pads and hence DC do not review.
117.317.3: Lungi Ngidi to Mitchell Santner, A low full toss, around off, Santner slaps it to the left of long off for an easy run.
117.217.2: Lungi Ngidi to Naman Dhir, Takes pace off, full and outside off, Dhir caresses it through wide mid off for one more.
117.117.1: Lungi Ngidi to Mitchell Santner, Shoots in a yorker, on off, Santner carves it to the mid on region for a single as the bowler chases it down himself.
116.616.6: T Natarajan to Mitchell Santner, At pace now, on a length, on off. Santner pulls it uppishly to deep mid-wicket for a single. 12 runs from the over. A profitable one for MI.
6 Over | Run: 136/5 | Run Rate: 8.00
416.516.5: T Natarajan to Mitchell Santner, FOUR! Excellent timing and placement! T Natarajan bangs another short ball by taking pace off, outside the off stump line. Mitchell Santner hops on the toes and slaps aerially and to the left of the diving backward point fielder for a boundary.
116.416.4: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, Short and slow, across the right-hander. Naman climbs on the bounce and pulls it toward deep mid-wicket for a run.
416.316.3: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, FOUR! Crucial boundary for MI! Slower length ball, on top of off. Naman Dhir drags it across and pulls it into the deep backward square leg region for a boundary.
116.216.2: T Natarajan to Mitchell Santner, Low full toss on the stumps, Santner chips it over the bowler's head to long off's left. Stubbs gets across swiftly and intercepts it. Only one then.
116.116.1: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, Almost a yorker, on middle, Dhir drills it along the ground to long off and gets a single. He moves to 20 off 13 balls.
115.715.6: Lungi Ngidi to Naman Dhir, Rolls the fingers on the ball to take pace off, outside off. Naman Dhir takes it on the full and drives it toward long on for just a single. Excellent over by Ngidi. A big wicket of SKY and just 7 runs from it.
7 Over | Run: 124/5 | Run Rate: 7.75
115.615.5: Lungi Ngidi to Mitchell Santner, Slows it up from around the wicket. Full on off. Santner lets the ball come and steers it wide of backward point, to his right, for a quick run.
015.515.4: Lungi Ngidi to Mitchell Santner, Attacks the stumps, on a good length, at pace. Mitchell Santner taps it to short cover.
015.415.3: Lungi Ngidi to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! LBW! Ngidi gets the big fish and this could be a crucial moment in the game. Nigidi uses the wider angle of the crease and slants in a length ball on off and middle. It skids through and strikes Suryakumar on the back leg as he misses the pull due to a lack of bounce. Up goes the finger on the appeal for LBW, but Suryakumar Yadav has gone upstairs after having a bit of a word with Naman Dhir. A flat line on UltraEdge and three reds on the Ball Tracking, with the ball finishing on the stumps, proved to be SKY's downfall after a well-constructed knock. Mumbai Indians are 122/5.
215.315.2: Lungi Ngidi to Suryakumar Yadav, FIFTY FOR SKY! Off 35 balls. This is his 30th IPL fifty, and has been quite a responsible knock. The stand-in MI captain has paced his innings nicely according to the situation and will aim to bat till the end. Good length, wide outside off at 112.3 kph. Suryakumar waits for it and punches it sweetly past the right of cover and hurries back for the second run to get to his milestone. Calmly raises his bat as he knows the job is not quite done yet.
215.215.1: Lungi Ngidi to Suryakumar Yadav, Oh, dear! Kuldeep Yadav makes a schoolboy error in the field. That dipping slower yorker, around off. Suryakumar Yadav squeezes it on the bounce to Kuldeep Yadav at backward point, who overruns as the ball spins in the opposite direction. Runs behind to the deep backward point region where Vipraj Nigam backs it up nicely to keep it down to a couple only.
015.115.1: Lungi Ngidi to Suryakumar Yadav, WIDE! An off cutter, but it is far outside off. Suryakumar Yadav reaches out for it, looking to carve past point, but misses. Wide called.
114.614.6: Kuldeep Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav, Quicker, short and on middle, keeps a bit low. Suryakumar Yadav does well to get his bat down and forces it to long on for one more. 17 from the over. 
6 Over | Run: 117/4 | Run Rate: 7.80
114.514.5: Kuldeep Yadav to Naman Dhir, Shortish and around leg, Naman Dhir swipes it to deep square leg for one.
614.414.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Naman Dhir, SIX! Oh..that is a top shot! Kuldeep Yadav bowls the wrong'un, full and around off. Naman Dhir goes a bit inside out. He opens the face of the bat and, with a good extension of the arms, lofts it gently. He times it so well that it carries all the way over the deep extra cover fence for a biggie.
114.314.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav, 'Catch it' is the call, but it lands safely! Floated, full and around off. Suryakumar Yadav goes down for the sweep but has to reach out for it. He loses his bottom hand and gets no timing at it. That saves him as the ball lands well in front of deep mid-wicket. They cross.
214.214.2: Kuldeep Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav, Edgy and lucky! Flatter, full and on off, Suryakumar Yadav stays back and tries to drive it away but gets an inside edge past the stumps and wide of short fine leg for a couple of runs.
614.114.1: Kuldeep Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! Time to shift gears! Tossed up, full and around middle. Suryakumar Yadav skips down the track to get to the pitch of it and tonks it right from the middle of the bat, over the bowler's head for a biggie.
113.613.6: T Natarajan to Suryakumar Yadav, Bangs this into the pitch, on off, Suryakumar Yadav gets his bat above his head and flat-bats it to long on for one. 100 UP FOR MI in the 14th over!
6 Over | Run: 100/4 | Run Rate: 7.14
113.513.5: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, Nails the yorker now, on middle, Naman Dhir jams it out towards long on for a single.
013.413.4: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, A clever slower bouncer, just around off, Naman Dhir tries to upper cut it but misses it completely.
213.313.3: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, Uppish but safe! Touch fuller and around off, Naman Dhir drives it firmly but aerially. He thinks he has hit it straight to short cover, but it goes wide and Tristan Stubbs at long off moves to his left to cut it out. Two taken.
013.213.2: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, Takes pace off, hard length and well outside off, Naman Dhir reaches out and bunts it towards point.
413.113.1: T Natarajan to Naman Dhir, FOUR! Powered away! Back of a length and just around off. Naman Dhir stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and swats it away past the bowler, beating long on to his left for a boundary.

6 Over | Run: 86/4 | Run Rate: 7.17
011.511.5: Vipraj Nigam to Sherfane Rutherford, OUT! CAUGHT! Vipraj Nigam strikes and this is a big wicket for DC. He floats this one up, full and on middle. Sherfane Rutherford decides to go after it. He gets on one knee for the slog sweep but the ball just bounces a bit more, and he ends up getting the height and not the distance. The ball flies towards the longer side, and Mukesh Kumar at deep square leg keeps his eyes on the ball. He moves to his right and takes a fine catch, tip-toeing around the ropes but keeps his balance well to stay inside. Even if he had struggled, he could have lobbed the ball to the converging Kuldeep Yadav from deep mid-wicket, who was just in his vicinity.
011.411.4: Vipraj Nigam to Sherfane Rutherford, Much quicker, googly again, on off, skids through. Sherfane Rutherford gets late and fails to guide it away.

410.610.6: Kuldeep Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR! Up and over! Kuldeep Yadav tosses it up, full and around off, turns away. Sherfane Rutherford stays put in his crease. He just extends his arms and lifts it with the spin, inside out over extra covers for a boundary.
6 Over | Run: 80/3 | Run Rate: 7.27
110.510.5: Kuldeep Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav, Gives this one some air again, full and on middle, Suryakumar Yadav swipes it to deep mid-wicket for one.
010.410.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav, Slows it up, full and around leg, Suryakumar Yadav once again goes down for the sweep but misses and gets hit on the back thigh. KL Rahul appeals for the LBW, but gets no real support. Ball Tracking after the ball shows it had pitched outside leg.
010.310.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, A googly, full and on middle, turns in a bit. Sherfane Rutherford looks to flick it but misses as the ball goes off his pads towards square leg. A leg bye taken.

09.49.4: Axar Patel to Sherfane Rutherford, Flighted delivery on off, Rutherford defends it to backward point with an open bat face.
09.39.3: Axar Patel to Rohit Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! A fantastic catch by Nitish Rana and Axar has Rohit's wicket yet again. On a length and turning away, fairly outside the off stump. Rohit strikes it hard and clean from the pitch, hitting it aerially. But Rana at short cover judges it perfectly, times his jump, and makes a really tough, flat catch look easy by plucking it over his head. Rohit is absolutely disappointed as he was looking a good touch out there. Mumbai Indians are 71/3.
19.29.2: Axar Patel to Suryakumar Yadav, A round-arm delivery, full and outside off, Suryakumar Yadav carves it behind point for a single.

6 Over | Run: 69/2 | Run Rate: 7.67
08.58.5: Kuldeep Yadav to Rohit Sharma, A big appeal for caught behind​​​​​​! Pushed fuller and sliding down the leg side, quicker and flatter from Kuldeep. Rohit goes down on one knee to sweep but misses. There seems to be some sound as it passes the bat and there’s a big appeal from Kuldeep and KL, both convinced. The umpire stays unmoved. Rohit takes a couple of steps as if to walk, then realises he hasn’t been given and stops. Axar signals for the review. UltraEdge shows the spike came off the pad, not the bat. It was well down the leg side, so the TV umpire doesn’t take the Ball Tracking to check for the lbw. Delhi Capitals lose a review. That little movement might just have convinced Axar to side with Kuldeep, who was keen on the review. Deliberate or not from Rohit, Delhi have been lured into it, and they have burned a review.
48.48.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Strong hit! Pushed wide outside off, a googly by the looks of it from Kuldeep. A bit too short and sits up nicely for Rohit as he slaps it away, beating the cover fielder's dive to his left for a boundary. This brings up the 50-run partnership between Rohit and SKY.
18.38.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav, On middle, a touch full, Suryakumar Yadav turns it off the front foot through mid-wicket for one more.
18.28.2: Kuldeep Yadav to Rohit Sharma, Drags the length, on leg, Rohit Sharma knocks it down to long on and they stroll in for a single.

66.66.6: Vipraj Nigam to Rohit Sharma, SIX! Goes downtown! Nigam floats one up there, full and on off. Rohit Sharma takes a big stride ahead, gets his back knee crouched on the pitch and slogs it powerfully over long on for a six. 50 UP FOR MUMBAI INDIANS!

6 Over | Run: 22/2 | Run Rate: 7.33
02.52.5: Mukesh Kumar to Tilak Varma, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Double strike for Mukesh Kumar in the over. He cleverly dishes out the knuckle ball to take pace off, and serves this full and on off. There is no change in action, so it is difficult for the batter to pick the slower one at 114.7 kph. Tilak Varma tries to play it in front of his body, looking to flick to the leg side, but gets completely outfoxed by the lack of pace on the ball. He ends up chipping it back to the bowler off the leading edge, where Mukesh Kumar gets low on his follow-through to take a sharp return catch. A two-baller for Tilak and MI are 18/2 now.

Mukesh Kumar once again bangs this into the pitch, on middle and off, angling it away. Ryan Rickelton stays back and looks to pull it, but does not have enough room to free his arms. The ball also gets big on him, getting sliced off the outer half of the bat. It flies wide of mid off, where Axar Patel moves a bit to his right and takes a good catch.
02.22.2: Mukesh Kumar to Ryan Rickelton, Swing and a miss! Mukesh Kumar lands this just back of a length and on off, moving it away a bit. Ryan Rickelton has a big heave across the line with his feet going nowhere, and only connects with thin air. Good tight line by Mukesh.
02.12.1: Mukesh Kumar to Ryan Rickelton, Back of a length and just outside off, Ryan Rickelton tries to cut it hard but ends up stabbing it off the bottom edge, down the pitch.
11.61.6: Lungi Ngidi to Ryan Rickelton, Touch slower, fuller and on middle, moves away. Ryan Rickelton goes through his shot a bit early. Gets a leading edge along the ground through point for one.
