DC vs MI, IPL 2023: Another last over thriller and Mumbai Indians win by 6 wickets

Mumbai Indians won a thriller by 6 wickets! 

Anrich Nortje bowled a super tight last over, but on the last ball, Tim David dug the ball out towards deep mid-off from where the throw came in. 

Four defeats to start off the 2023 campaign for Delhi Capitals - the second worst start to a season for them after six straight losses in 2013.

What a big moment in the game!

It was full and wide outside off and Rohit tried to guide this towards third man, but he got a thick outside edge.

The ball flies towards the right side of the keeper and Porel dives to take a stunning one handed catch. 

Two set batters are back to the pavilion, with two new batters at the crease. 

Rohit c Abishek Porel b Mustafizur 65(45) [4s-6 6s-4]

Back-to-back wickets for Mukesh Kumar!

Tilak Varma departs after playing yet another impressive knock. He hit 2 sixes and a four but Mukesh Kumar got dangerman Tilak Varma out. 

Tilak Varma c Manish Pandey b Mukesh Kumar 41(29) [4s-1 6s-4]

But it was not enough as he even got the wicket of SKY immidiately.

Suryakumar Yadav got out for a golden duck thrice in a row in ODIs not so long time ago and now he departed for yet another golden duck. 

Suryakumar Yadav c Kuldeep Yadav b Mukesh Kumar 0(1)

Fifty for Rohit!

This fifty has come after a really long time. However, there is no celebration for Rohit.

Bad mix-up from Rohit Sharma!

Ishan Kishan hit the ball and did not see Rohit already charging towards the strikers end.

But by the time he understood, it was a little too late as Lalit Yadav collected the ball and dislogded the stumps.

Four wickets in Behrendorff's over! While Meredith adds the last icing

Kuldeep Yadav (Run-out 0), Abishek Porel (1) and Anrich Nortje (5)

First time this season side batting first has been bowled out

A leg-cutter on leg and Warner swung across the line. But he got a big edge behind towards backward point and Meredith pouches it. 

Warner c Riley Meredith b Behrendorff 51(47) [4s-6]

Axar plays a brilliant knock when the team needs!

He changed the flow of the game, But he whipped the ball towards deep backward square leg where the catch was taken.

Axar c Arshad Khan b Behrendorff 54(25) [4s-4 6s-5]

Maiden IPL fifty for Axar!

After being dropped, Axar surely has added salt to the wound for MI.

Suryakumar Yadav ran towards the ball and even got it in his hand, BUT the ball just popped out of his hands and went for a SIX.

SKY seems to be hurt as he might have lost vision due to the lights and the ball hit his face.

Fifty for Warner! 

He is one of the only batter's this year from DC to be consistent.

Lalit Yadav is Bowled!!

The slower, loopy googly from Piyush Chawla went on to lure Lalit Yadav into a forward stride. Soon the ball snakes past the inside edge to smash the top of leg peg. 

Lalit Yadav b Chawla 2(4)

Lovely googly from Piyush Chawla!

The MI bowler got it to land on a perfect length and the ball beat Powell on the inside edge.

The umpire thought long and finally raised his finger, But DC went for the review thinking it was gonna hit the top of leg peg according to technology.

Powell lbw b Chawla 4(4) [4s-1]

Yash Dhull departs for 2 on his IPL debut! 

It was a 124ks slower short ball and Dhull went for the pick-up pull.

He got more height than distance but Yash kept his eye on the ball and took a running catch.

Yash Dhull c Nehal Wadhera b Meredith 2(4)

The straight boundaries are almost 75 metres as compared to the shorter square boundaries.

The DC batter, hit the shot that seemed to have timed it well, but goes into the hands of the tall man at the rope.

Manish Pandey c Behrendorff b Chawla 26(18) [4s-5]

Prithvi Shaw's poor form continues!

The batter got a hit-me ball and he went for the slogsweep after fetching it from middle and leg.

But he mistimed it horribly and it was a dolly of a catch to Cam Green at square leg. 

Prithvi Shaw c Green b Hrithik Shokeen 15(10) [4s-3]

For Mumbai, Riley Meredith in place of Stubbs and Jofra is not available.
