MI 162/6 (20 ov)
DC won by 6 wickets
162 — competitive, dangerous, chaseable but only if everything goes right. MI will feel they have enough. Yadav's 51 off 36 (SR 142) was the innings that held everything together, with Sharma (35 off 26) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Kumar (2/26 in 3.1 ov), Patel (1/22 in 4.1 ov), Nigam (1/24 in 3.1 ov) all contributed. DC need 163 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.

Match Over
MI 162/6 (20 ov)
DC won by 6 wickets
162 — competitive, dangerous, chaseable but only if everything goes right. MI will feel they have enough. Yadav's 51 off 36 (SR 142) was the innings that held everything together, with Sharma (35 off 26) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Kumar (2/26 in 3.1 ov), Patel (1/22 in 4.1 ov), Nigam (1/24 in 3.1 ov) all contributed. DC need 163 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
