Cricket Scorecard

Jasprit Bumrah has been caught for a quick chat. He has taken the Purple Cap away from Kagiso Rabada. Tells that it is not a bad day. Says that it has been challenging as it is really hot and they have been traveling a lot too. Says that he is more concerned about the win than the Purple Cap. Adds that he is ready to bowl at any time. Says that he is always on his toes as he can get the chance to bowl any time.

Right then! Delhi have ended their innings with 110 on the board. Not the biggest total and definitely not something you would want to defend against this Mumbai batting line up. The batting of Mumbai will be rearing to go out and chase this down. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Join us for the chase in a bit.

Mumbai were on fire with the ball in hand. They started off as Boult got rid of Dhawan right at the start. It was the three wickets that Bumrah got in the middle overs that turned the tide in their favour. Boult and Bumrah both scalped three wickets each and they both conceded less than 40 runs in their quota of 8 overs. Coulter-Nile and Rahul Chahar were in the wickets column as well. Even though, Jayant Yadav and Krunal did not pick a wicket, they were wonderful with the ball.

Delhi never got going with the bat in this game. They started off really poorly and they continued that throughout the innings. Boult struck in the first over as he got Dhawan and Delhi never recovered after that. Pant and Iyer tried to stitch a partnership to steady the ship but they were slow with their intent. Iyer tried to step it up, but he fell too. After that, they just kept losing wickets and they will feel that they are well below the score that they would have wanted. A very poor show

What a bowling show we have had courtesy of the bowling attack of Mumbai. They were right on the money from the first delivery of the game and they have made sure that Delhi end with a tame total of 110 on the board. With the batting talent that Mumbai possess, they will be confident to chase this down with ease.

Jasprit Bumrah will bowl the final over of the innings. 3-0-14-3 are his figures so far.

The third umpire is called into play to check if this is run out. Replays roll in and Rabada's bat is short of the crease as the wickets light up. This will be out. 

Jasprit Bumrah to Kagiso Rabada, ! RUN OUT! Great work from Bumrah! Last ball of the innings and the paces shows full commitment. A length ball on middle and leg, Rabada looks to slog but misses to get hit on the pad. He thinks for a leg bye but the non-striker shows no interest. Bumrah quickly gets to the ball as Rabada tries to return to his crease. Bumrah hits the stumps. The third umpire has been called for. One replay and it is enough to prove that Bumrah has done a terrific job to

The ball goes high in the air. Krunal from long on runs to his left and takes the catch with a dive to his left. He almost overrun there but made sure he held onto it.

DRINKS! This has been an emphatic show with the ball by Mumbai. Delhi are struggling at the moment and by the looks of things, Mumbai might bundle Delhi well before they cross the 100-run mark. Bumrah has been phenomenal as he has turned the tide completely in Mumbai's favour. Delhi will want to score some runs in the end and cross the 100-run mark as then they have a target to defend.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Shimron Hetmyer, ! TAKEN! Hetmyer falls now and Delhi continue to sink. The last recognized batsman has been sent packing.

DRINKS! Mumbai have started off really strongly in this game. They have done well to remove the openers of Delhi cheaply and they have stemmed the flow of runs for them as they have only scored 44 runs in the first 9 overs. Mumbai will look to continue this and they will be hoping thay they can restrict Delhi to a low score. Delhi, on the other hand, will want to press on the accelerator. They have Pant and Iyer out in the middle and their middle order is stacked as well.

Trent Boult to Prithvi Shaw, ! CAUGHT! Shaw's poor form continues. Not a good return for him once again. Boult gets the second wicket. A shortish ball on middle, Shaw makes room and looks to pull but is really early in the shot. The ball takes the toe end and balloons high in the air towards short fine leg.

Trent Boult to Prithvi Shaw, Shaw is up and running! A fullish ball around middle to begin from Boult. Shaw flicks it through square leg and opens his account.

Right then! We are done with all the pre-match formalities as the action is about to begin! The umpire walk out into the middle. The players of Mumbai are in a huddle and Kieron Pollard is imparting some final words of wisdom before the players take their respective positions out on the field. The openers of Delhi, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw stride out into the middle. Trent Boult will start proceedings with the ball for Mumbai. Off we go...

Delhi skipper, Shreyas Iyer, says that he is wanted to bat first anyway. Tells that in their previous games, they have done well batting first but feels that it really doesn't matter much if you play good cricket. Says that the mindset has been really positive. Tells that they have got three changes in the team. Praveen Dubey makes his debut while Prithivi Shaw and Harshal Patel return to the team. Adds that they have done good preparations for this game and is hoping to turn things around in

Delhi (Playing XI) - Prithvi Shaw (IN FOR AJINKYA RAHANE), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Harshal Patel (IN FOR TUSHAR DESHPANDE), Kagiso Rabada, Ravichandran Ashwin, Praveen Dubey (IN FOR AXAR PATEL), Anrich Nortje.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard (C), Nathan Coulter-Nile (IN FOR JAMES PATTINSON), Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav (IN FOR HARDIK PANDYA), Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.

The skipper of Mumbai, Kieron Pollard, says that he is not sure what the wicket will do and they wanted to see what the pitch can do. States that there are two changes as Jayant Tiwari and Nathan Coulter-Nile come in place of Hardik Pandya and James Pattinson. Adds that the franchise is fantastic and the owners have done a good job and they want to continue this. Feels that they have performed well and everyone has chipped in and he hopes that this can continue. Hopes they can finally win a game

TOSS - Kieron Pollard and Shreyas Iyer stride out for the toss. Up goes the coin and it lands in the favor of Pollard. Mumbai will BOWL FIRST.

Mumbai, the defending champions have stormed their way to the playoffs. A win here will confirm a spot in the top 2 for them which is always an advantage. The big question. Will Rohit Sharma play this game? The answer to this is unknown for now. However, the way the side has played and the way Kieron Pollard has led the unit, Rohit's absence hasn't been felt much. The batters are dominating, the bowlers are firing. All is well for them and they'd hope it remains that way going forward into

Let's talk about Delhi then! A few games back, they were the side to beat but things changed dramatically for Shreyas' men. Three losses in a row. A win here will mean that they will become the 2nd team to make it to the playoffs. The team hasn't fired collectively and will be eager to put those performances behind and produce a massive effort to go past a strong unit like Mumbai.

PITCH REPORT - Danny Morrison and Deep Das Gupta are out in the middle for the pitch report. Morrison says that it is 33 degrees. Adds that they have not played in a while in this strip as the last game played on this strip was on 8th October. Gupta says that the pitch is firm and hard and it looks good for batting. Adds that the average first innings score batting for a day game is 160. It could also aid the spinners as the track might slow down later on in the innings.

It will be interesting to see if both sides make changes to their XI. Mumbai are through and they might want to rest a couple of their players while Delhi might bring in their dashing opener, Prithvi Shaw in this game. How is the pitch going to play for this day game in Dubai? Mumbai won chasing against Delhi when the teams met last time. Will that remain the same? We will find out all these answers soon. Stay with us...

It is yet another Super Saturday in the Indian T20 League! Two games, two very important games. Mumbai take on Delhi first and then it will be followed by the Southern Derby as Bangalore meet Hyderabad. Let's talk about the first game in hand.

Jasprit Bumrah has been caught for a quick chat. He has taken the Purple Cap away from Kagiso Rabada. Tells that it is not a bad day. Says that it has been challenging as it is really hot and they have been traveling a lot too. Says that he is more concerned about the win than the Purple Cap. Adds that he is ready to bowl at any time. Says that he is always on his toes as he can get the chance to bowl any time.

Right then! Delhi have ended their innings with 110 on the board. Not the biggest total and definitely not something you would want to defend against this Mumbai batting line up. The batting of Mumbai will be rearing to go out and chase this down. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Join us for the chase in a bit.

Mumbai were on fire with the ball in hand. They started off as Boult got rid of Dhawan right at the start. It was the three wickets that Bumrah got in the middle overs that turned the tide in their favour. Boult and Bumrah both scalped three wickets each and they both conceded less than 40 runs in their quota of 8 overs. Coulter-Nile and Rahul Chahar were in the wickets column as well. Even though, Jayant Yadav and Krunal did not pick a wicket, they were wonderful with the ball.

Delhi never got going with the bat in this game. They started off really poorly and they continued that throughout the innings. Boult struck in the first over as he got Dhawan and Delhi never recovered after that. Pant and Iyer tried to stitch a partnership to steady the ship but they were slow with their intent. Iyer tried to step it up, but he fell too. After that, they just kept losing wickets and they will feel that they are well below the score that they would have wanted. A very poor show

What a bowling show we have had courtesy of the bowling attack of Mumbai. They were right on the money from the first delivery of the game and they have made sure that Delhi end with a tame total of 110 on the board. With the batting talent that Mumbai possess, they will be confident to chase this down with ease.

Jasprit Bumrah will bowl the final over of the innings. 3-0-14-3 are his figures so far.

The third umpire is called into play to check if this is run out. Replays roll in and Rabada's bat is short of the crease as the wickets light up. This will be out. 

Jasprit Bumrah to Kagiso Rabada, ! RUN OUT! Great work from Bumrah! Last ball of the innings and the paces shows full commitment. A length ball on middle and leg, Rabada looks to slog but misses to get hit on the pad. He thinks for a leg bye but the non-striker shows no interest. Bumrah quickly gets to the ball as Rabada tries to return to his crease. Bumrah hits the stumps. The third umpire has been called for. One replay and it is enough to prove that Bumrah has done a terrific job to

The ball goes high in the air. Krunal from long on runs to his left and takes the catch with a dive to his left. He almost overrun there but made sure he held onto it.

DRINKS! This has been an emphatic show with the ball by Mumbai. Delhi are struggling at the moment and by the looks of things, Mumbai might bundle Delhi well before they cross the 100-run mark. Bumrah has been phenomenal as he has turned the tide completely in Mumbai's favour. Delhi will want to score some runs in the end and cross the 100-run mark as then they have a target to defend.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Shimron Hetmyer, ! TAKEN! Hetmyer falls now and Delhi continue to sink. The last recognized batsman has been sent packing.

Jasprit Bumrah to Harshal Patel, ! LBW!

DRINKS! Mumbai have started off really strongly in this game. They have done well to remove the openers of Delhi cheaply and they have stemmed the flow of runs for them as they have only scored 44 runs in the first 9 overs. Mumbai will look to continue this and they will be hoping thay they can restrict Delhi to a low score. Delhi, on the other hand, will want to press on the accelerator. They have Pant and Iyer out in the middle and their middle order is stacked as well.

Right then! We are done with all the pre-match formalities as the action is about to begin! The umpire walk out into the middle. The players of Mumbai are in a huddle and Kieron Pollard is imparting some final words of wisdom before the players take their respective positions out on the field. The openers of Delhi, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw stride out into the middle. Trent Boult will start proceedings with the ball for Mumbai. Off we go...

Delhi skipper, Shreyas Iyer, says that he is wanted to bat first anyway. Tells that in their previous games, they have done well batting first but feels that it really doesn't matter much if you play good cricket. Says that the mindset has been really positive. Tells that they have got three changes in the team. Praveen Dubey makes his debut while Prithivi Shaw and Harshal Patel return to the team. Adds that they have done good preparations for this game and is hoping to turn things around in

Delhi (Playing XI) - Prithvi Shaw (IN FOR AJINKYA RAHANE), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Harshal Patel (IN FOR TUSHAR DESHPANDE), Kagiso Rabada, Ravichandran Ashwin, Praveen Dubey (IN FOR AXAR PATEL), Anrich Nortje.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard (C), Nathan Coulter-Nile (IN FOR JAMES PATTINSON), Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav (IN FOR HARDIK PANDYA), Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.

The skipper of Mumbai, Kieron Pollard, says that he is not sure what the wicket will do and they wanted to see what the pitch can do. States that there are two changes as Jayant Tiwari and Nathan Coulter-Nile come in place of Hardik Pandya and James Pattinson. Adds that the franchise is fantastic and the owners have done a good job and they want to continue this. Feels that they have performed well and everyone has chipped in and he hopes that this can continue. Hopes they can finally win a game

TOSS - Kieron Pollard and Shreyas Iyer stride out for the toss. Up goes the coin and it lands in the favor of Pollard. Mumbai will BOWL FIRST.

Mumbai, the defending champions have stormed their way to the playoffs. A win here will confirm a spot in the top 2 for them which is always an advantage. The big question. Will Rohit Sharma play this game? The answer to this is unknown for now. However, the way the side has played and the way Kieron Pollard has led the unit, Rohit's absence hasn't been felt much. The batters are dominating, the bowlers are firing. All is well for them and they'd hope it remains that way going forward into

Let's talk about Delhi then! A few games back, they were the side to beat but things changed dramatically for Shreyas' men. Three losses in a row. A win here will mean that they will become the 2nd team to make it to the playoffs. The team hasn't fired collectively and will be eager to put those performances behind and produce a massive effort to go past a strong unit like Mumbai.

PITCH REPORT - Danny Morrison and Deep Das Gupta are out in the middle for the pitch report. Morrison says that it is 33 degrees. Adds that they have not played in a while in this strip as the last game played on this strip was on 8th October. Gupta says that the pitch is firm and hard and it looks good for batting. Adds that the average first innings score batting for a day game is 160. It could also aid the spinners as the track might slow down later on in the innings.

It will be interesting to see if both sides make changes to their XI. Mumbai are through and they might want to rest a couple of their players while Delhi might bring in their dashing opener, Prithvi Shaw in this game. How is the pitch going to play for this day game in Dubai? Mumbai won chasing against Delhi when the teams met last time. Will that remain the same? We will find out all these answers soon. Stay with us...

It is yet another Super Saturday in the Indian T20 League! Two games, two very important games. Mumbai take on Delhi first and then it will be followed by the Southern Derby as Bangalore meet Hyderabad. Let's talk about the first game in hand.
