As for the match, Delhi Capitals fell agonisingly short by 12 runs despite a brilliant 89-run blitz from Karun Nair off just 40 balls.

His explosive half-century came off only 22 deliveries, marking his first IPL fifty in seven years and giving DC real hope in their pursuit of Mumbai’s challenging total of 205/5.

However, DC’s hopes unravelled dramatically, with three consecutive run-outs in the penultimate over sealing their fate. This defeat marked Delhi’s first loss of the season after an impressive run of four consecutive victories.

Mumbai’s Karn Sharma was named Player of the Match for his impactful spell of 3 for 36, which played a pivotal role in halting DC’s momentum.

Looking ahead, Delhi Capitals will face Rajasthan Royals at the same venue on Wednesday, April 16, with the match set to begin at 7:30 pm IST.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians will return to action against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, April 17, also at 7:30 pm IST.
