Delhi Capitals (DC) are facing Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 51st match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
MI’s stand-in skipper Kieron Pollard opted to bowl first after winning the toss and his decision turned to be a great one. From the very first over, Mumbai bowlers wreaked havoc on Delhi’s batting line-up and it continued till the 20th over.
While Trent Boult dismissed Shikhar Dhawan (0) and Prithvi Shaw (10) upfront, Jasprit Bumrah ran through the middle-order with three scalps. Nathan Coulter-Nile (1-14), Rahul Chahar (1-24) also bowled well and chipped in with wicket apiece.
In his second spell, Boult got rid of R Ashwin to finish with the figures of 4-0-21-3. On the other hand, Bumrah conceded only 3 runs in his last over to return with the figures of 4-0-17-3.
It was a listless batting performance from the Capitals. Skipper Shreyas Iyer was the top-scorer with 29-ball 25 as DC’s innings eventually folded for a paltry 110/9 in 20 overs.
Cricket experts were mighty impressed by MI’s herculean bowling performance while they were critical of Delhi batters’ abysmal showing
