After being put into bat, Delhi rode on Axar Patel's 25-ball 54 to post 172 runs on the board. Skipper David Warner was also amongst the runs, scoring his 58th IPL fifty.

MI started their chase brilliantly. A 71-run opening partnership between Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan set the stage nicely before Tilak Verma scored a vital 29-ball 41.

Sharma held fort admirably in his knock of 65 from 45 balls. His innings included six fours and four lusty maximums.

The DC bowlers did well to stem the flow of runs in the second half of the innings. However, Mumbai's top-order contributions ensured that they sneaked to their first win of the season off the last ball of the match.

Overseas signings Tim David and Cameron Green remained calm and composed at the end to guide MI past the finish line.
