MI seal top-two spot
And Kishan finishes the game in style by nonchalantly flicking Nortje for a six. He has played with freedom. Impressive innings. With this victory, MI have also sealed a top-two spot and they are now guaranteed a place in Qualifier 1.
The major share of the credit for this thumping victory has to go to the pace duo of Boult and Bumrah who shared six wickets. What about DC? Well, nothing is going right for them. They need a spark from somewhere to make a comeback.
De Kock falls; MI on course
Eventually, Nortje cleaned up de Kock but it has perhaps come a tad too late for DC. He got behind the ball but Nortje hits the bat hard and it just bounced off de Kock's blade and rattled the leg-bail.
Meanwhile, Kishan has continued to play with a sense of bravado. He even went after Rabada and clubbed the paceman over sweeper cover for a six!
MIcruising
Mumbai Indians are going at about six runs an over after four overs. And that is more than enough as they are chasing just 111. Ishan Kishan showcased his promise by tonking Nortje for two boundaries, including the pull.
Prelude:
Great start. And then a downward slide. The Delhi Capitals have gone through a roller-coaster journey in the IPL 2020. After an impressive run at the start of the tournament, DC have lost three games in a row, with the latest one coming against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Can Shreyas Iyer inspire the side to make a comeback? Will Nortje and Rabada fire again?? Is Ajinkya Rahane still the right choice to partner Shikhar Dhawan?
What about their opponent, Mumbai Indians? MI are sitting pretty at the top of the points table with 16 points and would look to guarantee a top-two finish. Despite the absence of Rohit Sharma, MI have a solid side on paper, covering most of the bases.
Here's our preview for the highly-anticipated clash.
