Manish Pandey scored 26 runs and Prithvish scored 15 runs. None of the rest scored double-digit home runs. In response, Mumbai got off to a great start with the bat of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.

Rohit Sharma and Tilak Verma were not allowed to play. He gave only 2 runs in this over. In the 17th over, Rohit somehow hit a four through deep square leg and deep midwicket on the very first ball. Dot the next three balls. The fifth ball sent Rohit Sharma back to the dressing room. Cameron Green hits a four off the sixth ball. Fiz took 1 wicket with 8 runs in the 17th over. His 19th over, however, was costly. When it came to bowling in the death overs, Green and Tim David hit two sixes and scored 15 runs in that over to bring victory within reach. Had this over been given a little more check, Delhi might have left the field with a win.
