Amit Mishra rips through the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) batting line up

Delhi Capitals’ leg spinner Amit Mishra wreaked havoc with the ball to help the Rishabh Pant-led side to restrict the Mumbai Indians (MI) to a total of just 137/9. Mishra scalped the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, and Hardik Pandya in his 4 over spell.

For the Mumbai side, only skipper Rohit Sharma looked comfortable out in the middle. The ‘Hitman’ scored a fluent 44 off 30 deliveries at the top of the order. Even though the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan contributed useful runs, they could not capitalize on their starts.

Jayant Yadav contributed a handy 23 lower down the order. But then, the Delhi bowlers did not allow the Mumbai innings to blossom and kept picking up wickets at regular intervals. 

With this thumping victory, the Delhi Capitals (DC) have moved to second place in the points table, while the Mumbai Indians (M) are currently occupying the fourth place.
