A fine partnership between skipper Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell helped in Delhi?s resurgence in the match, however, a brilliant bowling performance from Mumbai restricted Delhi to just 159 runs in 20 overs.

Delhi too got the ideal start with the early dismissal of Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma. But young Ishan Kishan and Dewald Bravis cautiously kept the scoreboard ticking.
