The 69th match of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League is underway right now at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where the Delhi Capitals are battling against the Mumbai Indians. MI won the toss and elected to bowl first. They have restricted DC to 159/7 in 20 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was the top performer for Mumbai with figures of 3/25 in four overs.
Bumrah opened his account by dismissing Mitchell Marsh for a golden duck. Soon after, he dismissed Prithvi Shaw with a deadly bouncer. The right-arm fast bowler completed his three-wicket haul with a perfect yorker to dismiss Rovman Powell.
Speaking of what happened at the toss first, here’s what Rohit Sharma had to say after winning the toss:
“We will bowl first. It’s a good track. It’s something we have been doing. We always wanted to bowl first and see what we can get out of the pitch and also have a score in front of us. That’s been our strategy while playing on this ground. It does depend on how we start and how much we restrict them to.”
Mumbai Indians got off to a fantastic start and picked up four wickets early in the innings, but Rovman Powell and Rishabh Pant saved the Delhi Capitals from an embarrassing total in a do-or-die match. Powell smacked 43 runs off 34 deliveries, hitting one four and four sixes. Pant aggregated 39 runs off 33 deliveries before losing his wicket to Ramandeep Singh.

159-7 is a good total from Delhi considering they were 51-4 in 8.4 overs but 15 runs short after what Rovman Powell did in middle overs.
