Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) clashed in Sharjah on October 2, 2021, in the 46th match of the IPL 2021. DC won the toss and Rishabh Pant chose to bowl first on a typical Sharjah surface.
Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 33 runs and was the only one to get past the 20-run mark with Quinton de Kock making 19 and Hardik Pandya making 17. For DC, Avesh Khan (3/15) and Akshar Patel (3/21) were the picks of bowlers.
In reply, MI removed the top three DC batters Shikhar Dhawan (8), Prithvi Shaw (6), and Steve Smith (9) for single-digit scores. But then Rishabh Pant (26) and Shreyas Iyer (33*) along with R Ashwin’s 20* was enough for DC to seal the win in the last over.
