The Indian Premier League in its very second game saw an enthralling come from behind victory as Delhi Capitals marched their way from 104/6 in 13.2 overs to chase down 178 in 18.4 overs without losing any further wickets. Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel were the stars of the game for the team from the capital as they added an unbeaten 75 for the seventh wicket in just 30 balls. 

 

With this victory against Mumbai Indians at the Cricket Club of India in Brabourne, Delhi Capitals opened their account in the league and also took a 1-0 lead in the Delhi-Mumbai rivalry. 

 

The chase by Delhi was not going anywhere as it kept losing wickets at regular intervals and ended up being 104-6 in the 14th over when the duo of Patel and Yadav got together and saw them through. 

 

Earlier in the day, courtesy of 81* from Ishan Kishan, Mumbai managed to finish their innings at 177/5 in their 20 overs.

What a win this is. What a win indeed as two very uncommon men, two men who were not at all favoured to win the game have done it for Delhi. When they joined hands at the crease, Delhi were struggling big time at 104-6 in the 14th over with 74 needed from 38 balls. They added 75 for the seventh wicket off just 30 balls and won the game with quite ease

7:16 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 174-6 | Over 18- 24 from the over, Delhi Cruising

 

Half a dozen here from Acar Patel as he smokes this bouncer from Daniel Sams for six that goes 10 brown back in the stands behind the Deep-Fine leg boundary and DC believe now. They now need just 21 off the 16 balls 

 

Six!! Lalit Yadav you beauty. Once again it was in the slot from Daniel Sams and Lalit clears his front leg and smashes this over long-on for a six and now it is back to run a ball. 15 needed off 15 balls. 

 

Four!! Take that says Yadav as this time it is full from Sams and he just drives it for four towards extra cover. The boy from Delhi is winning it for Delhi. Just a single now 

 

Six!! Full toss on the legs and Axar Patel says Thank You so much as she dispatches this over deep square leg boundary for a six. 24 runs from the Sams over and Delhi now need only 4 off 12 balls 

7:09 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 150-6 | Over 17- 28 needed from 18 balls

 

Basil Thampi has been asked to bowl the 17th over here as Delhi need 10 an over from here on to win this game and he has started off well, giving away just three runs off his first three balls

 

Four!! Pure power here from Axar Patel as he gets the full ball in his slot and then powers this over the bowler's head for a four to bring the required runs down to 34 from 20

 

Wide. This is the second wide of the over from Thampi as he tries to execute the yorker from around the wicket. 32 needed of 19 now and Lalit Yadav has a chance to become a hero here 

 

Four!! And he will become a hero it seems as he played this yorker down the leg, past the wicket-keeper for a four. Brilliant from Lalit and DC now need only 28 off the last three 

 

7:03 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 138-6 | Over 16- 41 needed of last four

Six!! Jasprit Bumrah comes ito the attack and goes out of the boiudary. What a shot this is froim axar patle to begtin the bumrah over which is also very crucial as DC now need only 49 off 28 balls 

 

Four more!! This time its Lalit Yadav and he has carved this between Point and Short -Third for  a great four and now 45 needed of 27 and two set DC players in the middle. Only 41 needed off the last four and it is very much doable 

6:51 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 113-6 | Over 14- Getting tougher for Delhi now

 

It is getting tougher here for Delhi even as Lalit Yadav hit a six off the last ball. But now they need 65 off the last six overs and the last recognised batting pair in form of Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav is at the crease. 

6:47 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 104-6 | Over 13.2- Thampi thumps another, Shardul gone

 

Basil Thampi has struck again as the short of a good length ball was rising on to Shardul Thakur, who tried to pull it but got it in the air and eventually was caught at mid off by MI captain Rohit Sharma, Thampi now has three in his kitty and the Capitals are in all sorts of bother here at 104/6

6:43 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 103-5 | Over 13- Time out

 

Lord Shardul Thakur has got going here and this shot that he has hit on the very last ball of the Daniel Sams over makes it belive that if he stays a bit longer, Delhi can actually chase down 75 in the last seven overs. At the end of the 13th they are 103/5

6:37 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 94-5 | Over 12-Superb spell from Murugan Ashwin

6:35 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 91-5 | Over 11- Cracking from Shardul

 

Shardul Thakur has destroyed Jasprit Bumrah here as he has hit the premium pace bowler of India for 14 runs alongside Lalit Yadav in an over. The Capitals are now nearing the 100 run mark but they have just lost too many wickets for their liking 

6:29 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 77-5 | Over 10- Double wicket over by Thampi

 

There's the wicket! Prithvi Shaw is livid with himself as he hits this in the air and as the ball was way too quick for his liking and his bat was rolled later than when it should have been and a thick catch gets the ball in the air and Ishan Kishan who came back on the field in this over, took a good catch

 

And here is another one. Short and quick from Basil Thampi and it rises on Rovman Powell and he tries to pull it and gets straight into the hands of Daniel Sams at deep fine leg and suddenly, half the Delhi unit is out in half the overs with 101 still needed

6:20 PM

Live | DC vs MI | IPL 2022 | DC 70-3 | Over 09-Ishan back on field

 

Ishan Kishan was injured earlier in the day after his batting ended and Aryan Juyal was keeping in place of him, but now he has come back and just as I type that information, Parithvi Shaw has hit the last ball off the Tymnal Mills over for  four and got DC to 70/3 after 9 and not letting the intensity drop
