That will be it from Delhi, now, you can focus on the second match of the day, live from Lucknow, between Lucknow Super Giants and table-toppers Rajasthan Royals by clicking here. This is the pair of Pradeep and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Jake Fraser-McGurk, the Player of the Match (Delhi Capitals): I was pretty nervous facing Jasprit Bumrah today, but I stayed confident while batting against him and got those two boundaries in. I liked the six, of course! But it was great to get tested by the best. Innings like these are good for my confidence, and also for my teammates who can rely on me batting at the top of the order now. Well, as far as this tournament is concerned, just the number of eyes watching it, makes me feel good about performing well here! Hope there are many more seasons left in me in this competition!

Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals captain): We were pretty happy with the first innings score, but the Impact Player rule makes it slightly more difficult. Anyway, we got the job done. I thought the bowlers executed the plans well enough. I decided to come up to the stumps to Mukesh against Tim David, and it worked quite well today as the idea was not to make him hit over cover. Jake Fraser-McGurk has done well for us up to now, all I can say now is that we need him to keep going! Yes, we do have our chance now of qualifying, just that the wins need to keep coming.

On-the-go 4s of the Match award goes to Jake Fraser-McGurk again!

Jake Fraser-McGurk is also the winner of the Super Sixes of the Match!

Jake Fraser-McGurk is the Electric Striker of the Match!

It is time for the post-match presentation!

Anuskha: Hard Luck Mumbai, Congrats Delhi

Rasikh Dar (Delhi Capitals): It is tough, wicket is flat with the batters dominating. I've been told by my coach and I was mentally ready to do it. Hopefully I can, I want to fulfill the team's demand, but it was tough to hold on to the nerve, I did. Have to be confident, game is such and that's important. We decide together on how to bowl, even before the game too, we prepare well and it's all together. It was a good move, you saw, we got the wicket and Rishabh tells, you can bowl how you want and I'll be standing up to the wicket.

Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians captain): This game is becoming more and more closer, you needed to get used to couple of overs first, but now it's about couple of balls. The kind of games are happening how the bowlers are under pressure, we backed ourselves to do it, it was self belief, if I have to point, good couple of overs would've been good for us. Axar bowling to left-handers, going after him was a better option, it's a game awareness which costed the game. (About Fraser-McGurk) It was quite amazing the way he batted, very calculated shots, he used the field very well and chipped when it was not in the arc, it was just fearlessness of the youth in IPL. (Anything he would've changed at the toss) Not really, not really!

Delhi Capitals win by 10 runs!

Jake Fraser-McGurk 84 (27) | Rasikh Salam - 3/34 (4)
Tilak Varma 63 (32) | Jasprit Bumrah - 1/35 (4)

Mumbai Indians won't be all that disappointed with the effort they put in with the bat, but yet another loss here pushes them further back when it comes to reaching the playoffs!

The loss of wickets from the start to the middle was a problem, but the spirited effort from Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya and Tim David kept the visitors in the hunt right through.

But the bowling from Khaleel Ahmed and of course, Impact Sub Rasikh Salam, helped the Delhi Capitals to peg the batters back. Mukesh Kumar was expensive, but bowled some crucial overs to pick up three wickets and close out the game.

Fielding and captaincy were pretty good from the Capitals but the batting up front did the job for them, as the Mumbai Indians were never able to keep up with the asking rate.

With this win, Delhi Capitals go up to number five in the ladder with 10 points while Mumbai Indians stay at ninth with only 6 points!

End of over 20 (14 runs), Mumbai Indians 247/9

Piyush Chawla 10(4)
Luke Wood 9(3)
Mukesh Kumar 59/3

19.6 Mukesh Kumar to Piyush Chawla

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Wicket to finish as Delhi seal a thrilling win here against Mumbai Indians. Mukesh holds on to his nerve. Full toss into the batter, Chawla skied it and Hope takes another sitter at long-on.

Umpire checking if that was above waist height, confirms it's well below the waist and that's that!

Piyush Chawla c Shai Hope b Mukesh Kumar 10 (4b, 1x4, 1x6)

Final ball of the match coming up!

19.5 Mukesh Kumar to Piyush Chawla

FOUR MORE! Too little too late this for Mumbai. Length delivery outside the off-stump, Chawla slices it over the extra-cover region, runs away to the ropes.

Just don't bowl a wide or a no-ball Mukesh, and the match will be your team's!

19.4 Mukesh Kumar to Luke Woo

pitched up full on the off-stump, Wood swings across and mistimes it down to long-on for one. Huge cheer in the crowd with that!

Three more sixes, anyone?

19.3 Mukesh Kumar to Luke Woo

SIX! BAM! Is there still life in the game for MI? Short into the batter, Wood nonchalantly clubbed it over deep square-leg for a much needed strike. MI hanging in by a thread here!

19.2 Mukesh Kumar to Luke Woo

OH MY! What a stupendous effort from Fraser-McGurk, makes good ground from the deep mid-wicket, dives forward but doesn't cling on in the end, got to give it to the commitment. Back of a length on the stumps, Wood skies it and picks up a couple.

Luke Wood, LHB, is at the crease.

It was a great effort from Tilak to try and chase the runs down, but, it was just too much of an ask in the end!

19.1 Mukesh Kumar to Tilak Varma

RUN-OUT! Has Tilak made it back in time? Had to put in a full length dive but he might be short here. Back of a length, hits hard into the deck and Tilak top edged the pull over square-leg, falls safely. Fielder comes running from the deep, picks it up and fires the throw to Pant who does the rest.

Tilak finds himself well short and walks back! That's the final nail in the coffin for MI!

Tilak Varma run out {(sub) Sumit Kumar/Rishabh Pant} 63 (32b, 4x4, 4x6)

Dinesh: Can't believe There is still a chance here to chase it down

So, the final over of the innings is upon us now! Mumbai Indians are still not out of it, all be it that it isn't easy by any means. Delhi need to make sure they don't go for more than one boundary in the first balls.

End of over 19 (16 runs), Mumbai Indians 233/7

Tilak Varma 62(31)
Piyush Chawla 6(2)
Rasikh Salam 34/3

18.6 Rasikh Dar to Tilak Varma

OH! Excellent stop from Fraser-McGurk, covers a lot of ground from deep covers, dives to stop it and they come back for the third. Low full toss outside the off-stump, Tilak creams that one away.

Good cricket all round in this delivery!

18.5 Rasikh Dar to Piyush Chawla

OH! Good come back from Dar, nails the wide yorker. Chawla stretches to squeeze and misses, but Tilak was quick to get to the other end and stole a bye.

18.4 Rasikh Dar to Piyush Chawla

SIX! Chawla you beauty, what a hit of the first ball he faces. Length delivery in the channel, in the slot as well as Chawla powers it straight down the ground and into the sight screen for a maximum.

Piyush Chawla, LHB, is at the crease.

Could not quite get the middle of the bat on to this one and got holed out, did Nabi!

18.3 Rasikh Dar to Mohammad Nab

OUT! PICKED OUT LONG-ON! That should've been put away but Nabi doesn't pick it. Low full toss, dipping into the batter. Nabi swings and whacked it straight down the throat of Hope as Dar picks up his third wicket of the game.

Mohammad Nabi c Shai Hope b Rasikh Salam 7 (4b, 0x4, 1x6)

Don't take the batting ability of Mohammad Nabi lightly, Delhi Capitals!

18.2 Rasikh Dar to Mohammad Nab

SIX! BAM! Much needed strike for Mumbai as that goes high and handsome over long-off. Back of the hand slower one, Nabi picks it and dispatches it way over and into the stands for a humongous strike.

anshu: what a mind game from rishabh pant standing up to the stumps

18.1 Rasikh Dar to Mohammad Nab

OH! Excellent start to the over, full and goes just inside the tramline. Nabi reaches to squeeze it away and misses. Asks for a review as he thinks it's wide.

Replays showed that it whiskers inside the tramline.

Even with the wicket of David, the over went for 23 runs. 41 runs off 12 balls is not impossible, especially in this day and age. Mumbai have to play the percentage shots here and not miss out on accessing both sides of the wicket as both these batters are capable of that.

End of over 18 (23 runs), Mumbai Indians 217/6

Tilak Varma 59(30)
Mohammad Nabi 1(1)
Mukesh Kumar 45/2

17.6 Mukesh Kumar to Tilak Varma

SIX! Horrendous delivery to finish the over. Dishes out a full toss on the stump, Tilak sits on one knee and swept it all the way over deep backward square-leg for a maximum.

17.5 Mukesh Kumar to Mohammad Nab

yorker length outside the off-stump, Nabi whacked it to long-on for just a single.

Mohammad Nabi, RHB, is at the crease.

The across-the-line hoick did not quite work for David this time round! Should have aimed straighter.

17.4 Mukesh Kumar to Tim Da

OUT! LOUD SHOUTS FOR LBW, UP GOES THE FINGER! David reviews it, more in desperation. Length delivery on the stumps, David swings across the line and misses, raps on the pad and that looked stone-dead.

UltraEdge confirms no bat involved. Ball tracker has WICKETS HITTING and that's enough. Huge wicket for Delhi!

Tim David lbw b Mukesh Kumar 37 (17b, 2x4, 3x6)

Rishabh Pant is standing up to the stumps now.

Mukesh is disappearing over long-on at the moment!

17.3 Mukesh Kumar to Tim Da

SIX MORE! Brilliant striking from Tim David, he's turning it on here. Mukesh goes horribly wrong with the length, dishes out a full toss and David deposits this one into the stands over deep mid-wicket for another maximum.

Ravindra Singh Bisht: Now it's time for big hitting from both the ends if mumbai wants to win

17.2 Mukesh Kumar to Tim Da

FOUR MORE! Just evades the deep mid-wicket fielder and goes one bounce into the ropes. Comes back over the wicket, length delivery, wide of off-stump. David reaches and smashes it to cow corner for a boundary.

The 200 comes up for Mumbai Indians!
