The Delhi Daredevils notched up their third win on the trot defeating Mumbai Indians by 10 runs to make their way up to the second spot in the 2016 IPL. Put in to bat by Rohit Sharma, Sanju Samson and JP Duminy helped Delhi register 164 runs in their 20 overs before a disciplined bowling effort saw the hosts condemn Mumbai to their fourth defeat in six matches. Coming in for a chase Mumbai Indians had a horrible start with Parthiv Patel running himself out. Rohit, Ambati Rayudu and Krunal Pandya gave the visitors a breezy start in their run-chase, but the Delhi bowlers came back strongly to swing the match back in favour of the hosts and ultimately win the match by a margin of 10 runs.
Here are the top moments from this game:-
1) Samson steps up to the task:- The dismissals of Shreyas Iyer and Karun Nair meant Samson had to keep his scoring instincts in check and steady the ship along with the experienced Duminy. The wicketkeeper-batsman did just that bringing up a well deserved half century along the way and was dismissed was 60 as he looked to go after the big shots towards the end.
2) Duminy's late flury:- JP Duminy has been struggling to make an impact in the IPL so far, but he certainly put a foot in the right direction with his unbeaten knock of 49 today.While Sanju Samson provided the stability that the Delhi Daredevils needed following three early wickets, it was Duminy who helped the side cross the par score on the Kotla pitch with some meaty blows towards the end.Duminy's knock included three boundaries and two sixes.
3) Zaheer Khan and Chris Morrisdeath bowling :- Zaheer Khan and Chris Morris bowled exceptionally well at the death to win the game for Delhi. Both bowled great line to keep Pollard and Rohit from scoring runs.
4) Leg spin duo doing it once again:- Eyebrows were raised when Delhi Daredevils decide to drop the hard-hitting Carlos Brathwaite in favour of South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir making their overseas line-up an all-Proteas affair.
Though he failed to pick up any wicket, Tahir conceded only 29 runs off his four overs despite feeling the heat of Krunal Pandya's bat, thus playing a crucial role in curtailing the Mumbai Indians' run-rate. The night, however, belonged to his less-fancied leg-spin companion Amit Mishra who troubled the opposition batsmen all-day long. He outfoxed Ambati Rayudu first and then more crucially Jos Buttler, with googlies, to give his side two crucial breakthroughs.
5) Krunal Pandya continues to impress:- Krunal bowled four economical overs before taking the match away from Delhi with a number of mighty blows after being sent in to bat at No 4. He overshadowed his skipper who was going at a brisk rate himself striking at a rate of more than 200. He could have done more damage, but was unfortunately run out for 36 off 17 balls.
Here are the IPL stats from this game:-
1) Delhi Daredevils are now the second team in the IPL, after Royal Challengers Bangalore, to win a match after batting first.
2) Rohit Sharma has scored a fifty in each of the three innings he has batted second in the IPL so far.
3) Delhi Daredevils have made the most dismissals through run-outs by any team in the IPL.
4) Harbhajan Singh has now been dismissed for the most times for a golden duck in the IPL.
5) Shreyas Iyer's knock of 19 runs was his first score that reached double figures in this IPL. His previous three scores were 0, 3 and 0.
