"The wicket was slowing down. If you get the right areas and use cutters it was helping. The game was going to go on till the last over, I felt from the beginning. Anything over 160 was a good total. The key was to have 3-4 overs of the legspinner for Buttler or Pollard. Sanju and JP both played brilliantly. They took their time. We are light on our battling and went with an extra leggie. But these two batted brilliantly. With this format it is tough when you have a long break. We are keeping things in control. The processes are followed diligently," said Zaheer Khan.
19:53 hrs IST: Sanju Samson is Man of the Match. "It feels good to be a part of the team. Mainly when JP walked in, we talked about setting a good partnership. JP gave me great support. We are doing well as a team," says Samson.

15:48 hrs IST: Looks a dry wicket. It may play better under the lights. We are looking for consistency. Last game we did pretty much perfectly. Playing a day game in this heat will be a challenge to be our bowlers. We are unchanged," said Rohit Sharma.
15:35 hrs IST: Mumbai Indians are unchanged. Meanwhile, Delhi Daredevils will play two legspinners as Imran Tahir replaces Carlos Brathwaite.
15:33 hrs IST: Here are the playing XIs
Delhi Daredevils (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Jean-Paul Duminy, Pawan Negi, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan(c), Mohammed Shami, Imran Tahir
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Parthiv Patel(w), Ambati Rayudu, Jos Buttler, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Harbhajan Singh, Tim Southee, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah
15:30 hrs IST: A warm welcome to the match between Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians from Feroz Shah Kotla. The news is that Rohit Sharma has won the toss and will bowl first. No changes for Mumbai Indians while Imran Tahir replaces Carlos Brathwaite for Delhi Daredevils.

Spinners could hold the key in Delhi's dry conditions. The DD vs MI clash could boil down to a match-up between the slow bowlers on either side. If Delhi Daredevils have a Pawan Negi and Amit Mishra, Mumbai Indians have the talented Krunal Pandya and Harbhajan Singh.
Both DD and MI usually back their young Indian players and they should see another match-up between a Sanju Samson-Shreyas Iyer on one side (DD) against Ambati Rayudu-Hardik Pandya on the other (MI).
DD will of course bank on their South African troika of Quinton de Kock, Chris Morris and JP Duminy. De Kock's 51-ball 108 against Royal Challengers Bangalore was a revelation. With 184 runs, the left-handed opener is among the IPL's top batsmen. The fourth overseas berth in DD will be a toss-up between South African leg-spinner and West Indian all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite. ÂÂ
Rohit Sharma's 44-ball 62 as an opener against RCB will certainly give the MI batting line-up a steady look. It remains to be seen how MI's power hitters Kieron Pollard and Jos Buttler cope in Kotla's slow batting pitch.
