Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs steal the show

In a pulsating encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Mumbai opted to bowl first after winning the toss, hoping to exploit the pitch conditions. However, Delhi unleashed a relentless batting assault, posting a formidable score of 257/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Fraser-McGurk’s scintillating 84 off just 27 balls and Stubbs’ composed 48 laid the foundation for Delhi’s imposing total, with valuable contributions from Abhishek Porel, Shai Hope and skipper Rishabh Pant bolstering their innings.

Despite Mumbai’s best efforts with the ball, their bowlers struggled to contain Delhi’s onslaught. While Luke Wood, Jasprit Bumrah and Piyush Chawla managed to pick up crucial wickets, they couldn’t stem the flow of runs.

Nevertheless Delhi’s bowlers, spearheaded by Mukesh Kumar and Rasikh Salam, maintained their composure and struck at crucial junctures to keep the pressure on the opposition. Ultimately, Mumbai fell short of the target, finishing with 247/9 in their 20 overs. Despite commendable efforts from their batters, they couldn’t surpass the daunting total set by Delhi, who emerged victorious in a thrilling contest.
