MI [166/5 (19.4)] defeat DC [162/4 (20)] by 5 wickets in IPL 2020

[MenInG]

What to expect: The pitch wasn't quick for the KXIP-KKR game with the teams managing scores around the 160-170-run range. However, Mumbai Indians have figured out ways to pace their innings and reach a total close to 200 in Abu Dhabi, a blueprint that other teams hadn't found. Boundaries don't come as easy but there is scope for a lot of running, which neither team has depended upon heavily. The temperature should hover around low 30s and will be testing for the players.

Great start by Mumbai.

 

[Ab Fan]

Shaw is not good enough. In 2030, we will become a minnow test team with only one good batsmen- Shubhman Gill.

64 runs partnership so far , Delhi has 8 wickets in hands , they need to be 180 all out rather than 165 for 6 after 20 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Delhi run rate below 8 , as they loose Iyer .

Important wicket at this juncture , just when they were looking to accelerate

 

[Justcrazy]

Fifty of Dhawan , 39 balls .

He needs to get a few boundaries here

[tyron_woodley]

Prithvi is such a mediocre fielder

And people tell me it's ok to be tubby in cricket. Get the f out of here. You have to do strength and conditioning for all sports.

Shaw should not be picked if he doesn't get fitter. Shaw needs too hit the weights. The weights can only help him perform better.
