The 43rd match of IPL 2024 was a heart-stopping affair at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The home team, Delhi Capitals (DC), emerged victorious by a narrow 10-run margin in a nail-biting finish against the Mumbai Indians (MI).
Delhi Post Big Total Despite Early Setback
Opting to bowl first, Mumbai Indians got off to a dream start with the wicket of in-form Prithvi Shaw. However, debutant Kumar Kushagra and the experienced Shai Hope stitched together a crucial partnership to revive the DC innings. Later, Rishabh Pant, fresh off his appointment as India's T20 World Cup vice-captain, provided a late flourish with a quickfire 42, propelling DC to a competitive total of 257 runs.
Mumbai's Fightback Falls Short
Chasing a stiff target, Mumbai Indians began cautiously. Openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan struggled to score freely against the DC bowling attack. Just when things were looking bleak, the middle-order duo of Tilak Varma and Tim David provided a much-needed spark with their aggressive batting.
Mukesh Kumar Steals the Show in a Tense Finish
The chase became a tense affair as wickets fell at regular intervals for Mumbai. Young pacer Mukesh Kumar emerged as the hero for DC, taking three crucial wickets in the death overs, including the dangerous Kieron Pollard and the experienced Piyush Chawla. Jasprit Bumrah's late cameo kept Mumbai's hopes alive, but DC held their nerve and secured a thrilling victory on the very last ball of the match.
Turning Point: Mukesh Kumar's 3-Wicket Haul
The momentum of the match arguably shifted in the 18th over when Mukesh Kumar dismissed both Pollard and Chawla in quick succession. This double strike effectively derailed Mumbai's chase and put DC in a commanding position.
