... The Run Chase ...
Right then. 178 is what Delhi need to get their campaign underway with a win and to be honest, on this wicket the target is chasable. Mumbai have the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills and Daniel Sams who will be raring to go with the ball and get their team over the line. The game hangs in the balance at the interval. Do join us for the exciting chase coming up in a bit.
Kuldeep Yadav is up for a quick chat. Kuldeep says he is happy with his bowling, they were on a good length and is working hard on it. Adds that with India as well, Rohit Sharma was helping him. Tells that his rhythm is good and has been working hard over the last couple of months. Informs he loved all three wickets but Sharma's wicket was very critical and so was Pollard's too. About the wicket, there was not much help but if your length is proper, the batters will find it difficult.
Delhi have a potent pace attack but it just wasn't up to the mark today. Shardul Thakur and the pace of Kamlesh Nagarkoti was taken to the cleaners. Khaleel Ahmed did bowl well and picked up a couple of wickets. Axar Patel too had an uncharacteristic outing but luckily they had Kuldeep Yadav in their side. He picked up three crucial wickets and he is the reason why Delhi aren't chasing a score of above 200. Without their star overseas batters, Delhi have a tough task ahead of them but they have enough homegrown talent in their ranks to chase it down as well.
Mumbai got off to a blistering start courtesy of the skipper Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. At one point, Mumbai seemed to be well on course of scoring in excess of 200 runs but wickets at regular intervals just slowed them down a touch. Kishan though remained till the very end and ended up with a big score of 81 runs. If he had faced more deliveries, he might have ended up with a ton as well. With no dew factor in the day game, Mumbai will feel confident of defending this total with the bowling attack they have got.
The wicket is a belter, the boundaries are short and the outfield is lightning quick. Mumbai have scored 59 runs in the 5 final overs and on the back of a brilliant innings from Ishan Kishan have ended up with a score of 177 runs and one must say that it is a pretty good total in general but maybe just a par score on this surface.

Kishan pulls it to deep square leg where Tim Seifert runs to his right, and jumps at the right time to flick it back to save a couple of runs. The replay shows he touched the ropes but well before touching the ball.

Khaleel Ahmed (3-0-16-1) to bowl the penultimate over of the innings.

17.2 overs (1 Run) Leg bye! An appeal for LBW but not given! A yorker, tailing around off. Kishan shuffles across and looks to heave it but misses. He gets hit on the boots and it rolls to point for a leg bye. Was missing the off stump clearly.
17.1 overs (0 Run) A full toss, well outside off. Kishan ended up on the floor as he tried to slash it so hard, hitting it to short third man where Shaw makes a good stop.
Shardul Thakur (2-0-19-0) is back into the attack. He will probably bowl the 18th and the 20th over.

15.6 overs (1 Run) Full and on middle. David leans and flicks it to deep mid-wicket to get off the mark with a single.
Strategic Time-Out! It is pretty evenly balanced out there. Mumbai have been able to pick up boundaries and Delhi have managed to keep the run flow just about in check with wickets at regular intervals. Given the dismissal of Pollard, it is up to Ishan Kishan now to take Mumbai to a big total. Kuldeep Yadav has been the star bowler but the others need to make sure they end the innings well with the ball. Tim David walks in at number 6 for Mumbai.
15.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! TAKEN! Tim Seifert has just taken a blinder! A flighted ball, short and on middle. Kieron Pollard hangs back as he pulls it flat and hard but Tim Seifert standing inside the ring at mid-wicket, dives to his left and catches out of the thin air. A superb catch to take the big wicket of Kieron Pollard who could have been proven to be the game-changer.

15.3 overs (1 Run) On the pads this time, flicked to deep square leg for a single.
