Mumbai Indians kept their playoff hopes alive after they defeated an in-form Delhi Daredevils by 80 runs at Vizag on Sunday. The defending champions were propelled to their first 200-plus total of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after a brilliant batting performance by all-rounder, Krunal Pandya.
The older Pandya was ably supported by Martin Guptill after captain, Rohit Sharma got the Mumbai franchise off to a great start. In reply, Delhi looked like they were in the contest when opener Quinton de Kock was there.
However, the Mumbai bowlers came up with the right kind of performance that complemented their batting as they bowled the Daredevils out for 126.
