Delhi Capitals lose to Mumbai Indians after dramatic collapse
Karun Nair’s blistering 89 initially powered Delhi Capitals’ chase of 206. They reached a comfortable 113/1 at the halfway mark, with Nair and Abishek Porel (33) forging a 119-run partnership. However, Porel’s dismissal triggered a dramatic collapse. Nair’s departure soon after exposed the middle order, which crumbled under pressure.
DC lost six wickets for just 45 runs. Despite late efforts from Vipraj Nigam and Ashutosh Sharma, the innings imploded in the final over with a hat-trick of run outs, ending at 193 all out. For Mumbai, Karn Sharma (3/36) and Mitchell Santner (2/43) were instrumental in the turnaround. Earlier, MI posted 205/5, led by a blistering 33-ball 59 from Tilak Varma and contributions from Suryakumar Yadav (40 off 28) and Naman Dhir (41 off 25).
