These days, watching David Warner bat to be boring rather than entertaining. In today's match against MI, Captain Warner once again produced a rusty knock, scoring 51 runs off 47 balls.

I'm not sure what is the intention of Warner, but it seems like he is playing for himself. Warner scored more than 200 runs by playing 4 matches in this season. But his strike rate is only 115 after the first four matches. The match became too close in the end, Delhi would have won the match if Mustafizur bowled well in the 19th over. Perhaps, Delhi Capitals will end this IPL journey by staying in the last position.

Even with his poor strike rate and bad time they have done decent job and bring their team at good target but their bad luck MI bowlers done amazing last two overs which allow them for having only 7 runs and lost of six wickets which give them big setback and this difference of 15 to 20 runs was main difference between these two teams, and they lost match after having flying start from Rohit Sharma and Kishan after having good start Mi batting also face some problems but at the end Tim David and Cameroon Green done good job and have first won for their team in this season even I have feeling they need to improve their performance if they want to have better results in coming matches because with this performance they can face backlash even they can stay out of the play-offs.

On the one hand, the Delhi Capitals Top Oder's strike rate was very low, on the other when they need to accelerate the score, fall of consecutive wickets they failed to enlarge the score any more in that match. Delhi Capitals had to accept their defeat in four matches. According to their condition there is no doubt to say this season is not good for them. If they do not come back to the next matches, they may be eliminate from their desired goals. Opposition team Mumbai Indians confirmed their first win by losing Delhi Capitals yesterday.

Delhi's top order players, especially Warner, batted a bit slowly. Even then they managed to collect 85 runs in the first 10 overs. It wasn't a bad collection. If the middle order and finisher batsmen play well, Delhi could have set a target of around 200. But due to the poor performance of the middle order batsmen, Delhi's innings did not last long. A score of 172 was enough to fight, but not good enough to win.
The first three batsmen of Mumbai Indians' top order have batted responsibly. Rohit Sharma returned to form and managed to play an inning of 65 runs. The reason for Delhi's defeat was not only their slow batting, but also the performance of their bowlers was very poor.
