In another run-fest in the IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals pulled off a thrilling win against Mumbai Indians in the 43rd match at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. Chasing a mammoth target of 258, Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai fell only 10 runs short to suffer their sixth defeat of the season.
Rising Australian youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk smashed 84 off just 27 balls and in-form Tristan Stubs registered quick 48* runs to help Delhi post their highest-ever IPL total of 257/4. Mumbai struggled early in the chase but made Tilak Varma’s 63 off 32 balls and Tim David’s late cameo almost pulled it off the travelling side.
Last game’s hero Rasikh Salam produced another match-winning display by taking three wickets for 34 while Mukesh bagged three for 59 for the hosts.
