At first it looked like MI might not even get to 160 but last 2 overs and now they have on-par score onboard. Now, I am drifting towards MI to win the game for bowling attack they have, and the wicket, despite whatever is said about Wankhede wicket being batting friendly, batting didn't look as smooth (in this game or the games played earlier). Let's see how it goes.

Edit: KL blew up his wicket, should have played anchor innings as there aren't any other batters in the DC squad who can hold innings together (After Faf ofc, but he got dismissed early). MI is having tight grip on DC in just 4 overs.

Mumbai Indians put on a strong all-around show to defeat Delhi Capitals by 59 runs in the 63rd game of this IPL season. Batting first, MI set a competitive target of 181 runs, appreciating the steady contributions from all the batsmen and a late surge from the middle-order batters. The team paced the innings well keeping the scoreboard moving and capitalizing on loose deliveries during the final overs. Delhi Capitals in reply, faltered early and never quite found their rhythm. MI's bowlers were on point from the first over applying pressure with disciplined lines and smart variations. Early breakthroughs put Delhi on the back foot, and a series of quick wickets in the middle overs completely shattered their chase. DC was eventually bowled out for just 121 runs well short of the target. It was a dominant performance by MI's both the bowling and batting lineup crushing their opponents by a great lead. For DC it was a disappointing moment that raises concerns about their batting depth and ability to handle pressure.
