Delhi had a horrible start to their 2017 IPL campaign, winning just 2 out of their first 7 matches. KXIP, on the other hand, were slightly better off with 3 victories from their first 8 games. Both the teams desperately needed points on the board to move up in the table. Delhi had managed to defeat KXIP by 51 runs in their first leg encounter.

In the 2nd leg, KXIP won the toss and elected to field first. It would be fair to say that the toss was not the only thing that didn't go Delhi's way that day. Delhi during their batting lasted 17.1 overs and could score only 67 runs. 18 by Corey Anderson was the highest individual score of the innings. Sandeep Sharma of KXIP caused the most damage by picking up 4 wickets.

In reply, KXIP reached the required target in 7.5 overs with Martin Guptill scoring a half-century. Sandeep Sharma for his 4/20 was the Player of the Match.

Delhi's bad run in the 2017 IPL continued as they lost both their matches after the one with KXIP where they lost by 10 wickets and recorded one of the lowest team totals ever in the history of IPL.

Mumbai, on the other hand, were having a great tournament, winning 7 out of their first 10 matches. They had already defeated Delhi once in the tournament. Both on paper and current form indicated that Mumbai were poised to win their 2nd leg encounter against Delhi also and they did so.

Winning the toss, Delhi elected to field first. Mumbai began their innings with a 79-run first-wicket partnership between Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons. This was followed by two 37-run partnerships between Simmons & Kieron Pollard first and then by Rohit Sharma and Pollard.

Finally, a 59-run partnership between Pollard and Hardik Pandya saw Mumbai end their innings at 212/3. Both Lendl Simmons (66) & Kieron Pollard (63) had scored half-centuries. The Mumbai innings saw a total of 11 sixes and 15 fours being hit.

Delhi, in reply, by the 6th over had seen half their team being dismissed with just 35 runs on the board. The remaining players further added another 31 runs on the board before Delhi wrapped up its innings for 66 runs. This would be Delhi's lowest ever team total in IPL. It was also the 2nd lowest team total in the 2017 edition of IPL. Lendl Simmons for his 63 was named the Player of the Match.
