IPL 2020 Today’s Match between DC vs MI: Ishan Kishan, Quinton de Kock got MI off to a solid start.© BCCI/IPL
Chasing 111 to win, Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan got Mumbai Indians off to a solid start as they added an unbeaten half-century stand for the opening wicket inside nine overs. The two left-handers started cautiously against the new ball but changed gears towards the end of the Powerplay as they reached 38/0 after six overs. Earlier, Delhi Capitals batsmen put up another horrific show as MI bowlers restricted them to a paltry 110/9 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult were the pick of the bowlers for the defending champions, with both taking three wickets each. While Boult impressed inside the Powerplay, Bumrah took charge in the middle overs and ripped through DC middle-order, picking three wickets in two overs. Boult returned with figures of 3/21, while Bumrah conceded only 17 runs for his three wickets. Boult struck inside the Powerplay as he got rid of both their openers Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw cheaply. Ater two early wickets, MI bowlers dominated the Powerplay and dried up the runs for DC as they reached 22/2 — the second lowest Powerplay total of this season. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant began the rebuilding process but DC skipper got out against the run of play off Rahul Chahar’s bowling. Bumrah then ripped through DC’s middle order, picking up three wickets in two overs. He accounted for the wickets of Marcus Stoinis, Rishabh Pant and Harshal Patel. (LIVE SCORECARD)
