Karun Nair’s 89 off 40 went in vain as Mumbai Indians registered a thrilling 12-run win over Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. Chasing 206, DC were bundled out for 193, losing their last three wickets as run-out in just one over. Earlier, Tilak Varma scored a gritty fifty as MI posted 205 for 5 after getting an invitation to bat first. Tilak slammed 59 off 33 balls with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes. Ryan Rickelton (41), Suryakumar Yadav (40) and Naman Dhir (38 not out) also helped MI’s cause.
For Delhi, Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2 for 23 in four overs. In the second innings, spin duo of Karn Sharma (3 for 36) and Mitchell Santner (2 for 43) brought MI back in the game. DC batters’ poor running in the 19th over also helped MI’s cause as the Hardik Pandya-led side registered a narrow win.
