IPL 2020 Highlights, MI vs DC Match, Full Cricket Score: Mumbai Indians clinch victory by five wickets

DC made a tidy effort to set a target of 163 before MI. The latter, however, were phenomenal and outplayed the former in all departments of the game. Fifties from Suryakumar, de Kock and a quickfire 28 from Kishan made sure MI crossed the finish line with ease. Mumbai are now at the top of the table after their five-wicket win over Delhi.

That’s it from us today, but do join us tomorrow for another cracker of a contest – RCB vs KKR. Adios! 

Man of the Match, Quinton de Kock: All went well eventually for us. In the nets, I have been batting really well, I wasn’t too stressed and eventually, I just made sure that I capitalised. It is obviously tough out here with the humidity and heat, but glad I came good.

Rohit Sharma: "The kind of cricket we are playing gives us a lot of confidence. It's important to have momentum with us, and it was a perfect day for us. Clinical with the bat, but not so much towards the end. We need one set batsman to finish off the game in general, and some set batsmen got out today, but I don't want to point fingers because chasing has been difficult in this tournament. Whatever the conditions are, we need to come out and play good cricket. It's important to have those partnerships and today it got us over the line." 

Ishan Kishan: I did not finish the match, me and Surya should have finished the match. But still a good learning experience for us. We just needed to be positive, we did just that. DC have done well, they have bowled well, but we just stuck to the process.

Shreyas Iyer: "We were definitely 10-15 runs short. We really missed out when Stoinis got run out. That is something we need to work on. We need to work on our fielding as well. Overall they outplayed us. We need to work on our mindset for the next game.  We have no idea when Rishabh is back. I spoke to the doctor, and he said he will be resting for a week." 

After 20 overs,Mumbai Indians 166/5 ( Kieron Pollard 11 , Krunal Pandya 12)

Stoinis with the last over. DC again banking on him for a crucial situation. Pandya flicks the first for a boundary towards square leg. Shaw misfields at point and Krunal sneaks a single off the second. A single from Pollard levels the score off the third. All men are up in the circle, Krunal gets on the backfoot and again pulls it square of the wicket for a boundary.

DONE AND DUSTED! MI beat DC by five wickets and with this, they also displace Deli at the top of the table.  

Four! Into the pads and Krunal flicks it off his pads for a boundary. Fine leg’s up and deep backward square is way square.

After 19 overs,Mumbai Indians 156/5 ( Kieron Pollard 10 , Krunal Pandya 3)

Nortje into the penultimate over of the innings. Krunal pokes the first one for a single towards third man. A referral for lbw by DC on the second ball against Pollard, but the umpire turns it down as it was going down leg. The South African clocks 142 on the third ball, Pollard goes for the wild slog but misses. Pollard then gives the strike to Krunal, who returns the favour off the fifth. Great over from the South African, just three off it.

Mumbai Indians need 7 runs from 6 balls

After 18 overs,Mumbai Indians 153/5 ( Kieron Pollard 9 , Krunal Pandya 1)

Rabada bowls the 18^th over. Pollard nudges the ball into the gap for a single. This will do it, they just need run a ball from here on. Kishan smacks the second one towards square leg for a six and then departs on the next one, after hitting it straight to Axar in the covers. Eight runs off the over. Mumbai Indians need 10 runs in 12 balls.

OUT! Really no need of the big shot, run-a-ball will do it. Kishan tried to go for a wild slog again but ends up handing a simple catch to Axar Patel.
