Suryakumar Yadav was the star of the show with his brilliant unbeaten 73 runs off 43 balls, anchoring the middle order with his attacking style. Tilak Varma played a responsible innings, scoring 27 runs in a run a ball, whilst Ryan Rickelton gave the innings early momentum with his brisk 25 runs off 18 balls. Despite some breakthroughs by Mukesh Kumar (2/48), Delhi could not stem the flow of runs, and MI made a strong total. Kuldeep Yadav (1/22) and Mustafizur Rahman (1/30) were economical but did not have much support.

Chasing 181 runs, DC never looked in rhythm to pursue it and lost wickets consistently. Sameer Rizvi showed some resilience with a few solid shots in his 39 off 35 balls, while Vipraj Nigam (20 off 11) and Ashutosh Sharma (18 off 16) attempted to inject life into the innings, but MI produced a brilliant bowling performance with Mitchell Santner (3/11) and Jasprit Bumrah (3/12) contributing to a fast collapse. Will Jacks also contributed with a tidy 1/16 in his single over.

MI vs DC: Post Match Reactions

Suryakumar Yadav (Player of the Match): After a match-winning innings of 73*, Suryakumar Yadav finally won the Player of the Match award. "My wife reminded me that I hadn't won it yet this season, so it makes it special. I think it was important for me to bat till the end, but Naman Singh's left-handed hitting really helped. We will have some cake at the hotel to celebrate," he said.

Mitchell Santner (Mumbai Indians): Santner, with his 3/11, said, "It was a red-soil wicket and a bit on the slower side. It helped, bowling stump to stump with a good overspin. I thought 180 was above par. SKY and Naman set it up well. Bumrah's finishing was brilliant."

Faf du Plessis (Delhi Capitals Captain): Faf said, "Fielding was good, but we lost the game in the last two overs. Rizvi showed potential as a top player, but we lost momentum in the end. Bad time to be without Axar and Starc. This loss is a wrap-up to our inconsistent season." 

Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians Captain): "I think having Santner and Bumrah makes my job easier; they bring control and perfection. We thought 160 would be good on that tricky pitch, but Surya and especially Naman at the end made 180 possible. Good all-around effort on a very tricky surface."
