Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) engaged in a last-over thriller where Mumbai managed to clinch the much-needed victory by 6 wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.

Asked to bat first, the Capitals set a target of 173 runs in 19.4 overs, with skipper David Warner scoring 51 runs off 47 balls and all-rounder Axar Patel smashing 54 runs off just 25 balls. Jason Behrendorff, Piyush Chawla, and Riley Meredith took three, three, and two wickets, respectively.

The contest then went down to the final ball, where Mumbai got the better of Delhi. Captain Rohit Sharma was the star of the match, scoring 65 runs off 45 balls with six fours and four sixes. Tilak Varma contributed 41 runs off 29 balls, including one four and four sixes.

“Winning the game is the most important. We have been working hard since the first game. We had a camp in Mumbai, and getting the result (in our favour) feels good. First win is always special. The spinners kept us in the game. We needed to bat well to chase the total. I thought everyone put their hand up. We had to make it count for the team,” said Rohit after bagging the Player of the Match award.
