IPL 2022: Updated Points Table, Orange and Purple Cap lists after MI vs DC

Five-time champions Mumbai Indians managed to end their campaign on a high note after defeating the Delhi Capitals in their last group stage match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. As a result, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have now become the fourth team to qualify for the playoffs.

MI skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to have a field first. The MI bowlers got some success early on as they dismissed the Australian duo of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh within 3.2 overs. Things went bad to worse for the Capitals as they also lost their other opener, Prithvi Shaw, soon.

However, a decent partnership between skipper Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell ensured that DC do not bog down in their batting. Some late blitz by all-rounder Axar Patel ensured that the Capitals post a competitive 159 in their allotted 20 overs. For MI, senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped three crucial wickets. Ramandeep Singh, Daniel Sams, and Mayank Markande also scalped at least one wicket for their team.

Chasing 160, MI had a cautious start

Chasing 160 to win, the five-time champions started cautiously as they scored 25 runs in 5.1 overs before captain Rohit Sharma’s bad campaign ended as he managed to score just two runs and used up 13 deliveries. However, his partner Ishan Kishan was going all guns blazing as he scored a vital 48 in just 35 balls.

Young South African batter Dewald Brevis also played a handy knock of 37 runs. However, the superb batting effort from foreign batter Tim David and young batter Tilak Varma sealed the game for the Men in Blue and Gold. As mentioned earlier, RCB have now become the fourth team to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans (GT), Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are the other top three teams in the points table.
