IPL Highlights, MI vs DD: Mumbai Increase Lead At Top With 14-Run Win Over Delhi

Mumbai Indians increased their lead at the top of the IPL 2017 points table with a convincing 14-run win over Delhi Daredevils at the Wankhede stadium on Saturday night. The win was made possible courtesy some brilliant bowling by New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan, who took three wickets for just 24 runs in his four overs. Delhi at one stage were reduced 24 for six and looked to be on course to bundled out very soon but an exceptional 91-run partnership between Chris Morris (52 not out) and Kagiso Rabada (44) brought Delhi back from the dead. However, it was not enough as Mumbai held on to their nerves and bowled well in the death to not let the match get away from their grasps. (SCORECARD)

19:25 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the day's second match between Mumbai and Delhi.

Mumbai were in top form in Indore, with Parthiv Patel, Jos Buttler and Nitin Rana absolutely decimating the clueless KXIP bowling as the side cleared the 198-run challenge with almost five overs left!

All three were in incredible form, but it was Rana who has really captured the imagination of people. The Delhi batsman is now wearing the Orange Cap, ahead of David Warner and Hashim Amla, who would be excused for thinking that his century would be enough to beat MI.

What is really daunting is that Hardik and Krunal Pandya were not even needed to break a sweat. On the other hand, the DD bowlers were really put to task by Kane Williamson and Shikhar Dhawan. Thereafter, the batting was a little disorganized as DD has yet to find a batting formula.
