Ryan Rickelton (25) and Will Jacks (21) batted well but failed to carry on the starts that they had. With the team under pressure, Suryakumar Yadav (73*) and Tilak Varma (27) stitched a hard-fought 55-run stand for the fourth wicket, but Delhi Capitals made a strong comeback after that, leaving Mumbai Indians at 123 for five.

However, Suryakumar, along with Naman Dhir (24*) in the end, added 57 runs for the sixth wicket that ensured that Mumbai Indians finished on high as they posted a total of 180 for five.
