IPL 6 Live: Delhi Daredevils vs Mumbai Indians

Their confidence severely dented after suffering six consecutive defeats, a struggling Delhi Daredevils have no more room for errors and would desperately need a win against an inconsistent but star-studded Mumbai Indians here on Sunday to keep their outside chances alive in the ongoing IPL. Since the start of IPL 6, Daredevils’ campaign failed to take off as they suffered one defeat after another. Follow live updates below: For the Daredevils, the table-toppers of the league phase last season, the end is approaching fast as they have arrived at a stage from where they have to win all their remaining matches, besides praying for favours from other teams to nurture any hopes of qualifying for the play-offs, which at the moment looks extremely bleak though still not impossible. The Daredevils, who suffered a morale-shattering 86-run loss to Chennai Super Kings at their home ground in their last match, would be looking for inspiration to turn the tables around. Chasing Chennai’s challenging 169 for four, the Delhi outfit folded out for a paltry 83 in 17.3 overs in their last outing.

On the other hand, having won three of their five games, Mumbai Indians are much better placed than their opponents. They presently occupy the fifth spot in the table with six points. From its start, Mumbai are underachievers in the Twenty20 league. Despite having big stars in their ranks, they have never been able to convert the early promise into a title win. They finished runners-up in 2010, losing to Chennai Super Kings in the final. Mumbai too would be low on confidence ahead of tomorrow’s encounter having suffering a humiliating 87-run loss at the hands of underdogs Rajasthan Royals in their last game. Preview via PTI
