New Delhi:
Rishabh Pant’s ballistic knock off 78 runs powered Delhi Capitals total over 200, giving Mumbai Indians a mammoth target of 214 which was out of men-in-blue’s reach in more ways than one. In the end, it was the Capitals, who managed to come out trumps by 38 runs courtesy of a resounding all-round show at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Moreover, Shreyas Iyer and Co also moved to the top of the points table. LIVE SCORECARD

WICKET: Great work by Rishabh Pant behind the stumps.
Good day for Delhi Capitals is all one can say here! Mumbai fought hard, but not as much as it was needed.
WICKET: Yuvraj Singh out after scoring 53 off 35 balls. Second wicket for Rabada.
WICKET: Seventh wicket down for Mumbai Indians! Just a slight nip and through to the keeper. CUTTING OUT!
Mumbai need 64 off 24 balls. Yuvraj comes onto 47. Just listen to the crowd - YUVI..YUVI..YUVI is all they say!
WICKET: Krunal's quick-fire innings comes to an end. Boult picks his first. A mistimed shot.
Big over for Mumbai Indians. Pandya and Yuvraj trying to get Indians close to the target. After 14 overs, it's 123/5.
WICKET: Caught and bowled. A sad day for Pandya comes to an end.
WICKET: Pollard tried to continue the momentum, but the shot had no power what so ever! Departs for 21. Mumbai - four DOWN!
50 run partnership between Yuvraj Singh and Pollard!
Yuvraj on FIRE! Three boundaries in the 10th over for him! Big over for Mumbai Indians. After 10 overs, it's 89/3.
First four for YUVRAJ SINGH! After 9 overs, it's 69/3.
Yuvraj, along with Pollard have started the repair work. After 7 overs, it's 49/3.
Just see that run-effort from YUVRAJ SINGH! He is looking fit!
WICKET: Third wicket down! Pin drop silence at Wankhede Stadium! de Kock OUT after quick-fire 27.
Right now, Quinton de Kock is the only good thing for Mumbai Indians.
WICKET: This is Shreyas Iyer's wicket! Just WOW! Suryakumar Yadav has to go back to the pavilion.

WICKET: Bumrah picks his first. Axar Patel tried to clear third-man fielder but couldn't! Delhi Capitals loses their SIXTH!
WICKET: Paul's short stay comes to an end. Mitchell McClenaghan picks his third.
18 off Pandya's last over. Way too expensive - 41 runs in 4 overs for him! After 16 overs, it's 149/4.
WICKET: Dhawan just couldn't time that ball. Tried to clear the mid-wicket fielder, but straight into the hands of Suryakumar Yadav.
Tidy over from Hardik Pandya. He bowled four dot balls and gave just 2 runs in the last two deliveries. After 14 overs, it's 114/3.
WICKET: Ben Cutting picks his first wicket. Ingram departs after a well-made 47.
Delhi Capitals are now in a really good position. Both Dhawan and Ingram have played 30 oddballs, and are looking for big here. After 12 overs, it's 102/2.
Three boundaries in the over already. Ingram on FIRE!
Shikhar Dhawan is finally starting to get going. After 10 overs, it's 82/2.
50-run partnership between Shikhar Dhawan and Colin Ingram!
The way Salam is bowling here, he is surely looking a great prospect for Mumbai Indians here. Super Stuff!
The powerplay has been slightly tilted in Mumbai Indians favour as they are able to pick two wickets and keep Shikhar Dhawan quiet. This remains to be seen what will be Delhi's approach from here on. After 6 overs, it's 45/2 and it's STRATEGIC TIMEOUT!
Bumrah gave just three runs in his first over. Absolute class. After first over, it's 36/2 and Mumbai is on top here.
WICKET: Shreyas Iyer smashed six of the last ball, and tried to emulate the shot on the very next ball but couldn't time it to perfection. Sensational catch by Pollard to send him back.
Another NO BALL. Salam under-pressure or nervous or both?
So, Delhi Capitals have lost their first wicket in the form of Prithvi Shaw. The onus is now on skipper Shreyas Iyer, who joins Shikhar Dhawan in the middle. After 2 overs, it's 11/1.
WICKET: First wicket for Mumbai Indians. Shaw tried to play away from his body and gets a slight nip, through to the keeper.
Good start from Salam, just 6 came off the first over.
Dhawan pulls the short ball went straight to the fielder but NOT OUT. Thank you, free hit.
Salam starts his IPL career with a no-ball. FREE HIT for Shikhar Dhawan to start off his Delhi Capitals' career!
Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw will start for Delhi Capitals.
The batsmen are out in the middle and Salam is ready to bowl the first over. HERE WE GO!!
We are now just minutes away from the first ball to be bowled. How excited are you?
