Delhi Capitals (DC) seal a tricky chase against Mumbai Indians (MI) with six wickets and 11 balls to spare.

Before that, the DC bowlers restricted MI to 162 for 6 on a slow, black-soil pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. With Hardik Pandya unwell, Suryakumar Yadav captained MI and top-scored with 51 off 36 balls. But most other batters struggled to play their shots. In fact, the first six of the MI innings came on the last ball of the seventh over.

DC, too, lost KL Rahul and Nitish Rana early in the chase but Pathum Nissanka's counterattack kept them going. Nissanka made 44 off 30, after which Rizvi, coming in as DC's Impact Player once again, ran away with the game.
