It is really a nerve-wracking match which boils down to the last ball of the game. Jason Roy, who remains unbeaten at 91, bats through the innings to power Delhi to a thrilling seven-wicket win.
DD needs 11 runs in the last five balls and Roy hits Mustafizur for a four and a six in the first two balls following with hat-trick of dots, pushing the match for the last-ball finish with everyone having a heart in their mouth. Roy keeps his cool and takes the winning run to further dash any MI’s hopes.

The new Mumbai Indians openers Evin Lewis and Suryakumar Yadav slammed 84 in the powerplay overs and laid the solid foundation for a massive total. But Delhi Daredevils skipper Gautam Gambhir introduced spinners Rahul Tewatia and Glenn Maxwell, and the move checked Mumbai’s flow with boundaries getting dried up for a period.
Young Ishan Kishan then launched an attack, but his and Keiron Pollard’s wickets again stemmed Mumbai. What should have been a total of 220 plus remains restricted to 194, which the Delhi batting unit of Gambhir, Roy, Maxwell and Pant will be satisfied with.
