Mumbai Indians Beat Delhi Capitals By 12 Runs

New Delhi: Impact player Karn Sharma and Mitchell Santner took five wickets collectively as a superb bowling performance saw Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals by 12 runs and register a superb come-from-behind victory to get their second win of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.

Karun Nair, playing his first IPL game of the season, played a breathtaking 89 as DC’s impact player and clinching a win looked like a cakewalk for DC. But losing five wickets in six overs, including of Karun, after the tenth over got MI back in the match.

Earlier Tilak Varma peppered the mid-wicket boundary well to top-score with 59, his second half-century of the season, as Mumbai Indians posted a competitive 205/5 in their 20 overs.  On a pitch which had some cracks, all of MI’s batters barring captain Hardik Pandya had starts, but only Varma marched forward to make 59 off 33 balls, with 22 of his runs coming through the mid-wicket region. He was also supported by Naman Dhir making 38 not out at the other end.

Brief Scores: Mumbai Indians 205/5 in 20 overs (Tilak Varma 59, Ryan Rickleton 41; Kuldeep Yadav 2-23, Vipraj Nigam 2-41) beat Delhi Capitals 193 all out in 19 overs (Karun Nair 89, Abishek Porel 33; Karn Sharma 3-36, Mitchell Santner 2-43) by 12 runs. (IANS)
