From the presentation party
Jake Fraser-McGurk | Player of the Match: It was pretty nervous. I had looked at his (Bumrah's) footage all day. But in the game everything goes out of the window and you just have to see the ball. It is good to test yourself against the best bowler in the world. You have to ride the waves of highs and lows. These innings are good for my confidence and for my team. From outside you don't know the level of the competition, this is such a higher level than the other leagues and it is amazing to be a part of it.
Rishabh Pant | DC captain: We were pretty happy with 250 on the board but with impact sub it is getting difficult each and every day. Definitely I can do that (come up to the stumps) but the bowler also should be confident, but with a batter like David was walking down and today it worked. He (Fraser-McGurk) has been amazing since the first day and this is what you want from a younger player, he's getting better and better with each game. The chances (of making it to the playoffs) are increasing day by day, but we are taking it one game at a time.
Hardik Pandya - Losing skipper
"Because of the kind of games and how the bowlers are under pressure, we backed ourselves to chase this. We could have taken a couple of more chances in the middle overs. The left-handers could have probably gone after Axar [Patel] a little bit; it's something we missed out in terms of game awareness. It was quite amazing the way Fraser-McGurk batted, he took calculated risks, he played the field really well. It shows the fearlessness of youth."
Tilak is out
Excellent throw from the deep gets Tilak Varma run out. Mumbai's hopes are dead.
25 off the last one
3 runs off the last ball, and now the final over has 25 runs to get for the Mumbai Indians. Tilak will be on strike.
SIX
Chawla hits the first ball for a maximum.
WICKET
Rasikh Salam gets the better of Mohammad Nabi after getting hit for a six. What a night this youngster is having.
WICKET
Tim David departs as Mukesh Kumar strikes with his second wicket of the evening. After scoring 14 of the first three balls, Mukesh has the last laugh as he sends the Aussie back to the hut. DRS doesn't help the batter, as its 'Umpire's Call'.
End of 17 overs
MI need 64 off the last three overs.
71 off 4
The equation is simple. Can go either ways, as the game will resume after the Strategic Timeout.
Fifty for Varma
Tilak Varma brings up his half-century with a boundary in the 16th over, reaching there in 25 balls. But his job is not done yet.
Tim David is in the mood
After fall of Wadhera's wicket in the same over as Pandya's, Tim David came to the crease. On the fifth ball of the 14th over, David smashed Khaleel over long on for a huge six. The ball landed right into the stands, as a fan got injured and was taken for some treatment. We hope it ain't something serious.
I hope the fan is ok at the delhi stadium. My good wishes to him.

The skipper departs
Rasikh Salam Dar gets his man, as Hardik Pandya hands a simple catch to Mukesh Kumar inside the circle. MI are 136 for the loss of four, as they still need 122 more to win this contest. Nehal Wadhera replaces the MI skipper.
We thought that's flying arena, xD
During the innings, a flying kite came on the field, as Rishabh Pant was having some fun with it on the field. The kite actually came to Rohit Sharma who then passed the flying object to the Delhi skipper. The video of the moment went instantly viral all over the social media. The instance happened when the second innings had just begun, as MI aim to chase down 258 from 20 overs.

DC lose a review
Nothing on the ultra-edge, as DC waste a review.
14 off that one
Axar Patel gives away 14 runs in the tenth over. At the halfway stage, MI need 143 more to win with seven wickets in place.
The 100 comes up
An onslaught to Kuldeep in the ninth over, as Hardik Pandya sends the bowler for plenty in that one. The 100 comes up with a maximum on the last ball of the over. MI are 101 for 3.
DC introduce spin
Spin from both ends as the duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel bowl the seventh and eighth over, respectively.
The last ball of Patel's first goes for a maximum. MI are 82 for 3.
GONEEEEEE
After scoring a flurry of boundaries, Suryakumar Yadav falls prey to Khaleel, as the bowler has the last laugh. The second wicket for Khaleel, and Mumbai are 65 for the loss of three. The first Strategic Timeout has been taken.
5 overs done
A couple of boundaries on the last two deliveries to take the score to 54/2 after the first five overs.
KISHAN has to depart
Mukesh Kumar with his first, as Kishan goes down the ground to attempt a big hit, ends up handing a simple catch at mid-off.
SKY says hello
Impact Substitute Suryakumar Yadav gets off the mark with a brilliant six on the second ball he faces.
ROHIT SHARMA IS OUT
Big blow for MI. Opener Rohit departs for a run-a-ball 8. 35 for the first wicket, as Khaleel Ahmed gets the first wicket for the Capitals.
End of 3
35/0 for MI
20 off the second
MI are 29/0 after 2 overs.
1 over done
MI get 9 off the 1st.
Game resumes
After a quick innings break, the MI openers come out in the form of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Lizaad Williams will bowl the first over, as Kishan takes the strike.
As simple as that
Jake Fraser-McGurk: "My role is to go out there and score as many as possible in the first six. If I go on [after that], I go on. If I get 1s and 2s, it's only either because I've mishit it or maybe it's the last ball of the over [laughs]. I feel like [hard-hitting ability] is something I've always had. It's about developing a nice base, being as still as possible and swing big. There's a lot of timing involved, it's about having a nice, strong core and upper body."

WICKET
Bumrah strikes with his first to get the big fish of Rishabh Pant. He departs for 29 off 19, as Axar Patel joins Stubbs at the crease.
Stubbs has clubbed that
Tristan Stubbs is playing the finisher role perfectly, as he gets three four and a maximum on the first four balls of the 18th over.
The fifth ball too races away to the fence, and the final delivery.....guess what? Its gone to the boundary too, so 26 runs of that over by Luke Wood. The score is 234 for 3.

Hardik Pandya gets frustrated on teammates against DC, video goes viral
During the ongoing game, the MI skipper Hardik Pandya hasn't had a good outing with the ball. In fact, all the bowlers barring spinners were at the receiving end of the onslaught by DC batters. As a result, the skipper was seen frustrated at the fielders as it a thing or two showed the animated version of Pandya.

CAUGHT
Mohammad Nabi strikes on his fourth ball. Ishan Kishan does the job behind the stumps, as Porel departs after 36 from 26 balls handing a bottom edge to the opposition counterpart. The second wicket is down, and again its a spinner who has handed a breakthrough. The Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant has now replaced Porel at the crease.
End of 9
DC are 124, as Shai Hope and Abishek Porel look to continue the onslaught.
Finallyyyyyy a wicket for Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla gets the better of JFM to hand the much-needed breakthrough for the Mumbaikers.
21 off the over
The last four balls of the over go for 4, 6, 5, and 6 to take DC to 113/0 after 7 overs.
100-up
Just the seventh over of the innings, and DC breach the three-figure mark.
Excellent comeback for Bumrah
Just 3 runs in the ovver, as the Powerplay brings 92 runs without loss for the Capitals. One of the batters has a strike-rate below 100. Can you believe that?
Nonetheless, MI have taken the first Strategic Timeout.
Hardik Pandya is worried
The MI skipper concedes 20 runs in the 5th over. JFM has gone berserk.
The least expensive over so far
Chawla went for (only) 14 runs in the fourth over. Hardik Pandya will bowl the fifth over.
Fifty for JFM
A six off Chawla's second ball has been dispatched for half a dozen to take JFM to his half-century. He gets to the landmark in just 15 balls, which is the joint-fastest this season, the other instance being the man himself during his knock vs SRH a few days back.
3 overs done
After Nuwan Thushara concedes 19 runs in the third over, DC are 55 without loss. The Run Rate is 18.33.
Notably, MI introduce spin, as Piyush Chawla will bowl the fourth over.
50-up for the Capitals
Just the fourth ball of the third over, and DC have brought up fifty runs for the 1st wicket.
End of the 2nd
DC are 37 without loss. JFM is on 34* after facing 10 deliveries.
STAT - This is the most expensive over of Bumrah in this season.
FOUR
The free hit ball goes for a boundary.
SIX
Jasprit Bumrah gets dispatched for a six on his first ball. To add to the injury, its a NO BALL as well, so JFM has a free hit next.
WHAT A START
Frase-McGurk is off the his usual start, as he drives the ball through the on side for a boundary. The next ball has been sent to the boundary lines straight down the ground.
To add to the hosts' delight, the third ball has landed into the stands for a 74-metre six. Didn't get a lot of bat on that one, but that was good enough to sail over the fence.
The fifth ball goes for a boundary, as Luke Wood is getting the belting in the first over itself.
After the first over, the score is 19 without loss, as JFM keeps the strike.
The live action is underway
Openers Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel have stepped out in the centre, as the former takes the strike for the first ball of the innings.
For the visiting Indians' side, Luke Wood, who replaced Gerald Coetzee in today's fixture, has got the ball in hand to begin the proceedings from the fire end.
Pitch Report is here
Pitch and Conditions: "There is not a cloud in the sky and the mercury is almost touching 40, 39 degrees for an afternoon fixture. We will get to the pitch, but first the dimensions - to my left 59 meters, on the other side 64 meters and down town is roughly about 73, but the major concern is 54 meters behind the wicket on one side. The only difference I see today is it is quite bare, there is no grass here and you'd think wow that is going to be brilliant for the spinners. It is going to be slightly better for the spinners, but the problem for the bowlers is it is rock hard. It is like a sheet of marble. No grass will allow the spinners to have a bit of turn and if you look at the spin attacks, Delhi have a slight advantage. Nothing for the seamers," reckon Danny Morrison and Sanjay Manjrekar.
We've got the Playing XIs
Delhi Capitals: Fraser-McGurk, Porel, Hope, Pant, Stubbs, Axar, Kushagra, Kuldeep, Williams, Mukesh, Khaleel.
Impact Player options: Rasikh, Dubey, Ostwal, Bhui, Sumit.
Mumbai Indians: Rohit, Ishan, Tilak, Wadhera, Pandya, David, Chawla, Nabi, Wood, Bumrah, Thushara
Impact Player options: Surya, Dhir, Mulani, Brewis, Kartikeya
Here's what DC skipper RISHABH PANT said
Rishabh Pant: We were looking to bat first. I think it will get slower in the second innings. It has been amazing, we're getting the kind of wickets we want. As a team we have to play well and we have been. This is something we talked about - how to control the innings. Bowling with the new ball and bowling at the death is difficult, one over here or there is making all the difference. Just one change - Prithvi Shaw is replaced by Kumar Kushagra
Here's what MI skipper Pandya said at the toss
Hardik Pandya: We're going to bowl first. The ground is small. It's better to bat second on a smaller ground. Every game is a new game, we make sure we are not out. We keep fighting and keep coming hard in each game. The mood is fine, happy chats, all is well. You should not really focus on what has happened in the past. Anyone can beat anyone. Our goal is to play our brand of cricket and put our best foot forward. Only one change. Gerald Coetzee - OUT, Luke Wood - IN.
Toss Update
Mumbai Indians have won the toss and the skipper Hardik Pandya has said that they will be bowling first at the Kotla.
