Our team was working very hard from the first match, but unfortunately we were not getting the results. We know that just one win will not do anything, but still the first win is special. I had planned to make full use of the powerplay in batting and tried to build a partnership by putting pressure on the Delhi bowlers from the beginning.
The Delhi team is missing its regular captain Rishabh Pant a lot. Because David Warner, who captained in his place, is scoring runs, but at a very slow pace. Something similar has happened in this match as well. Mumbai won the toss and invited Delhi to bat. Delhi team was all out for 172 runs in 19.4 overs.
