Mustafizur Rahman has been bowling 19th over in IPL for years since he was playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. So, he must be one of the specialist in death bowling and in yesterday match also, he was good for first 4 balls of 19th over but last 2 balls were hit for sixes which helped MI to need only 5 runs in the last over still Anrich Nortje showed his class and he almost pulled it but lack of support from fielders (Mukesh Kumar dropped a catch and improper throw) led him to concede required runs.

Yeah... Mustafizur Rahman is usually very reliable at depth overs. But yesterday he had a rather forgettable day. Can't blame him alone. Nothing has been working for the Delhi Capitals in this season. David Warner has been scoring runs slowly and the other batsmen are not scoring at all. Warner's captaincy tactics are also not working. And yesterday they had a good chance of win, but in the end Tim David and Cameroon Green made sure that Mumbai Indians got two points from this match. And Delhi Capitals are at the bottom of the points table, with 0 points from 4 matches.

Mustafiz should not be blamed for Delhi's defeat. Because Mumbai's batsmen were batting very responsibly from the beginning of the innings. And the entire match was under the control of Mumbai's batsmen. Mumbai needed 26 runs off the last 18 balls to win. It was not a tough task for Mumbai. However, even then, if Mustafiz could have done some controlled bowling, maybe the Mumbai batsmen would have been under some pressure in the last over. They needed only 5 runs in the last over. This they collected easily.
