All of Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Harshal Patel all failed with the bat with scores of 2, 11 and 5 respectively as they just managed to post 110/9 in 20 overs.
Mumbai Indians openers Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan started in front foot and dominated the proceedings from the word go. Even after de Kock departed following a quick-fire start, Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav continued to hurt Delhi Capitals bowlers. While QDK posted 26 off 28, Kishan stole the show with an unbeaten 72 off 47 to guide MI to a thumping nine-wicket win over DC.
