Delhi Looked like losing but Lalit Yadav 48 not out off 38 balls , along with Shardul Tahakur quick fire 22 gave them hope. Later Axar Joined Lalit to take Delhi to a stunning win. Axar was brilliant with his cameo innings 38 off 17 balls with two fours and three sixes. The innings shocked Mumbai . Delhi eventually wining by three wickets finishing at 179/ 6 in 18. 2 overs,
For Mumbai Indians, Daniel Sams had a nightmarish spell 0/ 57 ( 4 overs) . Jasprit Bumrah was hammered 0/ 43 ( 3.2 overs) , Basil Thampi 3/ 35 ( 4 overs) , Murugan Ashwin 2/ 14 ( 4 overs) was brilliant, Tymal Mills 1/ 26 ( 3 overs)
