DC were floundering at 50 for four after being called into bat but Rovman Powell and Rishabh Pant got their innings back on track. Ramandeep Singh, on the other hand, fired Pant to halt DC’s development. In the third over, Daniel Sams removed David Warner to give MI an early lead. After that, Jasprit Bumrah struck twice in as many overs, dismissing Mitchell Marsh and Prithvi Shaw. Mayank Markande then struck again, this time defeating Sarfaraz Khan. As DC fell short of the 160-run mark, Ramandeep Singh added a couple of late wickets.
