IPL 12 Match 34 DC vs MI at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi: MI beat DC by 40 runs! 169 target on a slow pitch was always going to be tough and over that DC squandered the great start followed by some good bowling. They finish their innings on 128/9. Three-game unbeaten streak broken IPL 2019, SRH vs CSK, Today’s Match Preview: Riding on the back three consecutive victories confident Delhi Capitals face third-place Mumbai Indians at Feroz Shah Kotla on Thursday. Delhi Capitals are on a roll right now, they have won three of their last three matches and are second in the table with 10 points from eight matches. They would be looking to carry forward that momentum against Mumbai at their home ground. It’s a different Delhi from what we have seen in the past years. The young generation has made this a vibrant team. Their middle order rescued them against SRH in the last match and then the bowlers played a stellar role to defend 155. Prithvi Shaw has blown hot and cold and would look to get back to form against MI. In the bowling department, Kagiso Rabada will be MI’s biggest threat. He ransacked SRH’s batting line-up with four wickets. MI, on the other hand, haven’t had a consistent run. After the loss against RR, they bounced back to beat RCB. Their pace bowlers are the key, especially Malinga and Bumrah who have been brilliant at the death. The batsmen need to do much better. There is a lot of dependence on Hardik Pandya rescue acts. They would be looking for consistency while DC would look to continue the momentum. Expect a cracker.

If there was any hope, Bumrah killed it in this over. Run out first ball as Keemo Paul ran halfway down the pitch after Axar squeezed out a yorker.

It was full on middle, Axar move across to create room and lost his stumps. 60 needed in last two overs.
DC vs MI Expert’s Voice
Mumbai continue to steamroll this Delhi side. Everything has gone right for them, right from the toss they won. They picked the better XI, they (mostly) made the right moves with the batting order, and so have set themselves up for this success, and a firm grip on the No. 2 spot.

Bumrah has a great record against Pant, and it’s once again smart from Rohit to hold him back and use him when Pant came in. The difference between the two sides has been how the pace bowlers have fared. The Capitals pace bowlers leaked runs in the Powerplay and at the death. Malinga and Bumrah on the other hand have been asking questions.
After 15 overs,Delhi Capitals 86/5 ( Axar Patel 15 , Chris Morris 1)
DC Score latest updates
Patel plays the chip shot over cover for a double, a nudge to third man for a single. Morris takes a single with a flick and another double or Patel with a pull shot to wide of long-off. Four on the last ball with a slice shot over extra-cover.

FOUR! Axar Patel slices the outside off delivery over deep extra-cover to clear the fence and get a boundary

Is it game over for DC? Bumrah has cleaned up Pant on his return. Went for an uppish drive away from the body on this slow pitch as Bumrah managed to get the ball move back in from off and hit the stumps. All eyes on Chris Morris now.

BOWLED EM! Pant b Bumrah 7(11)
It’s always a great view to see the timber flying. Pant went for an uppish drive away from the body but the pitch is not made for it. The ball meanwhile move back in from off to crash into the stumps.
After 13 overs,Delhi Capitals 73/4 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 7 , Axar Patel 3)

Time for Krunal to roll over his arm again. Four off the over. Couple of singles and a double off last ball as Pant flicks the full toss to mid-wicket. Meanwhile, Krunal tried some Jadhav type sling bowling in that over as well.
Is the curator listening?
When the Delhi Capitals are doing everything to make sure they get a successful season, it's tragic to see the Kotla wicket letting them down repeatedly. Stroke players like Dhawan, Pant, Shaw & Iyer don't need this pitch!

Three wickets have fallen in last three overs including in this over as well! Chahar cleaned up Iyer with a traditional leg-spin ball. It pitched on middle but spun enough to beat the bat and hit the timber. 104 needed in nine overs for DC.

OUT! Shreyas Iyer b Rahul Chahar 3(6)
Another wicket! What a beauty by Chahar! A lovely leg-spin delivery which pitches on middle and spins away to beat the bat and hit the off stump.
After 10 overs,Delhi Capitals 63/3 ( Shreyas Iyer (C) 3 , Rishabh Pant (W) 1)

Spinners are now turning the game around for MI as a mini-collapse for DC is underway! Krunal fires in a quicker one and Munro was too late to get his bat onto it as he was cleaned up. Three off the over.
Good enough to be on that list?

This was the phase where it started happening in the first innings, when the spinners started bowling in tandem. But Mumbai have three spinners, a potential 12 overs, whereas Delhi used only seven.

OUT! Munro b Krunal Pandya 3(9)
That was a quick delivery disguised as a spin ball. Fired in by Krunal as a lazy Munro failed to get his bat onto it before it hit the stumps.
After 9 overs,Delhi Capitals 60/2 ( Colin Munro 3 , Shreyas Iyer (C) 1)

One brings two. Shaw follows Dhawan back to the hut. He was struggling to find his rhythm. Missed a full toss but it hit him outside the stumps. Next ball, went for a big shot over long-on off tossed up delivery but found the man in the deep. Skipper Shreyas Iyer replaces him now. Just three off the over.

OUT! Prithvi Shaw c Hardik Pandya b Rahul Chahar 20
That’s immature from Shaw. Was struggling to get going but had been there for long and needed to bat till deep. Went for a big shot off the tossed up delivery and found the man on the fence at long-on.
After 8 overs,Delhi Capitals 57/1 ( Prithvi Shaw 18 , Colin Munro 3)
DC Score latest updates
Excellent over from Jayant. Just five from it. Fall of wicket had its own role to play. Munro will take some time to get going and Shaw hasn’t found his rhythm yet.
After 7 overs,Delhi Capitals 52/1 ( Prithvi Shaw 15 , Colin Munro 1)
DC Score latest updates
Rahul Chahar breaks the opening partnership! Dhawan out! Went for a reverse sweep against the leg-break on middle, missed the ball which hit his pads, gloves and then hit the stumps. Colin Munro has now joined Shaw in the middle.

OUT! Dhawan b Rahul Chahar 35(22)
Dhawan messes up the sweep shot there and his show is now over. Tried reverse sweeping, completely missed the ball as it hit his gloves and then crashed into the stumps.
DC vs MI Expert’s Voice
Not as big a Powerplay from Delhi, but just as stable, and wickets in hand will be valuable on a pitch like this. This is where the game changed when Delhi bowled, when they got the spinners into the attack, and now Chahar and Jayant will come into play. MI might hold Krunal back as long as Dhawan is there.
