Suryakumar Yadav Leads Mumbai’s Recovery
Mumbai’s start was shaky. Mukesh Kumar took two wickets in the third over, removing Ryan Rickelton and Tilak Varma to leave MI on 18/2. The powerplay had no six, the first time that had happened to MI since 2023.
Rohit Sharma finally broke free with the first six of the match, then was caught at cover off Axar Patel for 35. Across the IPL he has scored 67 off 77 balls against Axar and been dismissed four times.
Leading in Hardik’s absence, Suryakumar top-scored with 51 off 36. He reached fifty in 35 balls, then fell lbw to Lungi Ngidi next ball. Mumbai scored just 38 in the death overs. Afterwards, he said the team was 15 to 20 runs short.
Delhi Capitals Bowling Scorecard
Six Delhi bowlers shared the 20 overs. Axar Patel was the tightest, and Mukesh Kumar the most dangerous.

| Kuldeep Yadav | 3 | 0 | 31 | 0 | 10.33 |
| T Natarajan | 3 | 0 | 24 | 1 | 8.00 |
Mukesh bowled three overs because Rizvi replaced him as the Impact Player. Kuldeep Yadav was the only bowler above ten an over. Axar’s four overs for 22 included Rohit’s wicket and squeezed the middle overs.
Delhi Capitals Batting Scorecard
Delhi lost two wickets inside two overs, then chased at 9.03 an over.

Sameer Rizvi’s Match-Winning 90
Rizvi walked in at 7/2 and took just over 20 balls to settle. At ten overs he had 25 off 23, and Delhi’s 73/3 matched Mumbai’s score at the same stage. Then one over changed everything.
He took 20 off Corbin Bosch, then stepped out to Mayank Markande for back-to-back sixes, the first bringing up his fifty off 31 balls. He scored 65 of the 78 runs he added with David Miller. He holed out to long-off on 90, missing a maiden IPL century, and the crowd gave him a standing ovation. The innings had seven fours and seven sixes.
It was his second straight Player of the Match award, and third in a row counting DC’s last game of 2025. Rizvi said he had worked on his weakness against fast bowlers.
Pathum Nissanka Gives Delhi the Stability They Need
Rizvi gets the headlines, but Pathum Nissanka made the chase possible. Rahul edged Deepak Chahar down the leg side for 1, and Rana was run out by a direct hit from Jasprit Bumrah. Delhi were 7/2.
Nissanka answered with two fours off Mitchell Santner, one a reverse hit over Rohit at cover, then two fours and a six off Shardul Thakur. At the strategic timeout he had 43 of Delhi’s 66 runs. Dhir dropped him on 41 off Bosch, and Santner dismissed him three runs later. His 44 came off 30 balls, and his stand of 66 with Rizvi kept the required rate under control.
Mumbai Indians Bowling Scorecard
Mumbai had the names but not the control.
| Bowler | O | M | R | W | Econ |
| Deepak Chahar | 3 | 0 | 20 | 1 | 6.67 |
| Jasprit Bumrah | 4 | 0 | 21 | 0 | 5.25 |
| Mitchell Santner | 3 | 0 | 22 | 1 | 7.33 |
| Shardul Thakur | 3 | 0 | 41 | 0 | 13.67 |
| Mayank Markande | 2 | 0 | 20 | 0 | 10.00 |
| Corbin Bosch | 3.1 | 0 | 39 | 1 | 12.32 |
Chahar, Bumrah and Santner conceded 63 runs in ten overs. Thakur, Bosch and Markande went for 100 in 8.1. Bumrah took no wicket, but his direct hit removed Rana. MI had brought in Chahar, Bosch and Santner for Hardik, Boult and Ghazanfar, and used Markande as an Impact Player for Rohit.

After the win, Delhi topped the table on four points, level with Punjab Kings but ahead on net run rate. Mumbai had opened with a win over Kolkata Knight Riders, so they stood on two points from two games. The season is now over, and the early picture did not last.
| Team | Position | P | W | L | Pts | NRR |
| Delhi Capitals | 6th | 14 | 7 | 7 | 14 | -0.651 |

What the Match Tells Us About Both Teams
One game rarely defines a season, but this one showed each side’s habits.
Delhi Capitals: Aggression After Early Setbacks
Delhi had already recovered from 26/4 against Lucknow, and here they recovered from 7/2. Their bowling plan was clean too. The pacers took four wickets in ten overs for 84, and the spinners took two in ten for 77. They still finished sixth, with KL Rahul (593 runs) and Ngidi (13 wickets) leading the numbers, so the early spark faded.
Mumbai Indians: A Competitive Total That Wasn’t Enough
162 was respectable on that pitch, but Suryakumar felt 180 to 185 was a good score. A six-less powerplay, a dropped catch and expensive change bowlers all cost them. Mumbai ended the season ninth with four wins.

Why the Arun Jaitley Stadium Mattered
The slow black-soil pitch shaped the match. Timing was hard and clearing the ropes was risky, which is why Mumbai hit only four sixes. Axar chose to bowl because it was Delhi’s first home game and he wanted to see how the surface played. The bet worked. Slower balls gripped, and Rizvi’s patient start followed by a late attack suited the conditions. The same ground produced 257/4 in April 2024, so conditions here can change a lot from one season to the next.
