Coming to the match, Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by eight wickets to strengthen their position at the top of the points table.

Asked to bowl first, MI bundled out DC for a paltry 105 in 18 overs as Issy Wong (3-10), Saika Ishaque (3-13) and Hayley Matthews (3-19) ran through the batting line-up with three scalps each.

In reply, MI rode on Yastika Bhatia’s 32-ball 41 and notable contributions from Matthews (32) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (23*) to overhaul the target with five overs to spare.
