DC vs MI Highlights of VIVO IPL 2021: Amit Mishra's Four-Wicket Haul Leads Delhi Capitals to 6 Wicket Win
Mumbai Indians’ only defeat in IPL 2021 came against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the season opener while Delhi were beaten by Chennai Super Kings. They would both want to record a third win and set the pace for the remainder of the tournament. In 28 meetings between each other, Mumbai Indians have won 16 while Delhi Capitals have won 12.
Jasprit Bumrah is weaving magic with the ball. A slower one and Rishabh Pant fails to gauge the delivery. Pant scoops it away and Keiron Pollard gets that one quite well. Pant OUT on 7.
Rahul Chahar gets rid of Shikhar Dhawan as he attempts to slam a big one. Dhawan mistimed it and Krunal Pandya was standing right there in the deep to take that stunning catch. Dhawan OUT on 45 runs.
Just when we thought that Steve Smith could remain unbeaten in the game, in came Keiron Pollard who got rid of the Australian. Bowls in line and length and that hits the leg stumps. Smith LBW on 33.
It looks like Delhi Capitals is overcoming the initial hiccup faced by them in form of Prithvi Shaw's wicket. Steve Smith and Shikhar Dhawan are helping Delhi to recover.
Jayant Yadav strikes for the team as he gets the wicket of Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw. The batsman attempted to jab it with hard hands and gets Caught and Bowled! Shaw OUT on 7.
Trent Boult is the one who started off the bowling for MI as they defend a total of 137 runs. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw look to give a flying start to DC. They made 5 runs in the first over.
Amit Mishra's four wickets and his figures of 4/24 have restricted Mumbai Indians to 137/9 after they had opted to bat first. Mishra broke the back of Mumbai's batting with the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Ishan Kishan. Avesh Khan also chipped in with two wickets.
OUT! Avesh Khan has dismissed Rahul Chahar for his second wicket. Khan bowls a slower ball and Chahar goes for the big slog but only edges the ball to Rishabh Pant behind. Rahul Chahar c Pant b Avesh Khan 6(6)
OUT! Kagiso Rabada gets among the wickets. Jayant Yadav slices the ball straight up in the air and Rabada takes a comfortable catch off his own bowling. Jayant Yadav c and b Rabada 23(22)
OUT! Ishan Kishan chops the ball into his own stumps and Mumbai Indians have lost their seventh wicket. Mishra bowls a wide yorker and Ishan defends it but the ball directly on the bails and Ishan is dismissed. Ishan Kishan b Mishra 26(28)
Jayant Yadav and Ishan Kishan take Mumbai Indians past the 100-run mark. The champions have been shackled by spin. But Kishan and Yadav have settled and will want to score big in the final four overs.
OUT! Amit Mishra is on a roll here. The spin wizard has picked his third wicket after trapping Kieron Pollard plumb in front of the wicket. Pollard fails to read the wrong'un and is caught LBW. Pollard lbw b Mishra 2(5)
OUT! Lalit Yadav clean-bowls Krunal Pandya. Krunal looked to cut the ball late but chopped it into his stumpes. Mumbai Indians have lost their fifth wicket. Krunal Pandya b Lalit Yadav 1(5)
OUT! A simple copy-carbon Rohit Sharma's wicket. Hardik Pandya goes for the wild slog to a full delivery and finds Steve Smith at long-on. Hardik goes back for a first-ball duck. Hardik Pandya c Smith b Mishra 0(1)
OUT! Rohit Sharma holes out to Steve Smith at long-on. Mishra bowled outside off-stump as Rohit danced down the track but could not connect properly and Smith takes a comfortable catch. Rohit c Smith b Mishra 44(30)
OUT! Suryakumar Yadav nicks one to Rishabh Pant and has to go back. He was perhaps foxed by the bounce of the ball. Tries to play it late to the third man but only manages to edge the ball back to the wicket-keeper. Suryakumar Yadav c Pant b Avesh Khan 24(15)
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav take 10 runs of Amit Mishra's over to put Mumbai Indians in command after the early wicket loss of Quinton de Kock. Rohit Sharma is batting on 29 from 19 balls while Suryakumar Yadav is unbeaten on 23 off 13 deliveries.
OUT! Marcus Stoinis has dismissed Quinton de Kock. He cramps De Kock for room with the sixth stump line. But the South African goes for the drive and edges the ball to wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Delhi have their first wicket. de Kock c Pant b Stoinis 1(4)

Rishabh Pant’s side also will be playing for the first time at the Chepauk this season. They started their IPL 2021 campaign in Mumbai. The champions, however, have already played thrice at the MA Chidambaram Stadium and are already familiar with the conditions. Both teams could drop a paceman for an additional spinner on the slow and spinning pitch of Chennai. Five of the six matches in IPL 2021 at this venue have been won by teams batting first so the toss becomes crucial.
