DD vs MI, IPL 2018: Mumbai Indians out of playoff race after 11-run defeat to Delhi Daredevils

S Lamichhane to S Yadav, OUT! The bowler has the last laugh! Not the best of balls but not the best of shots either. Suryakumar goes back and tries to whip it over the leg side but hits it in the air, with lesser power. For a second, it seems like the ball is landing in no man's land but Vijay Shankar comes running in from long on and takes a very good catch! A rare failure for Surya - body blow for Mumbai.

S Lamichhane to S Yadav, In the air... but over the infield. Tossed up outside off, a bit of pace taken away, Surya looks to go inside out but mistimes it in the air. Two fielders run back from cover but neither get to it. The ball lands safely and the batsmen take a couple.

S Lamichhane to S Yadav, SIX! More poor stuff from the bowler. Short ball again, down the leg side and Yadav pulls it over backward square leg. 165 more needed from 118 balls. What is next?

S Lamichhane to S Yadav, FOUR! A rank bad ball to start the innings. A long hop, could have been hit anywhere. Surya picks his spot and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary.

Welcome back. The players are already back on the field. Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis are the openers for Mumbai while Sandeep Lamichhane will start off proceedings with the new ball. Surya on strike.

175 is the target needed for Mumbai to get through to the Playoffs. Unlike previous seasons, they do not have a specific over range within which to do it - full quota of 20 overs is allotted. But they have obstacles - a slowish pitch and captain Rohit Sharma injured. Will he bat? Well, the openers can capitalize on the new ball in the Powerplay and take the slowness of the pitch out of the equation somewhat and make life easier for the other batsmen. Stay tuned for Mumbai's reply...

Surprisingly, Krunal Pandya bowled just 2 overs - probably because Rohit did not want to use him with Pant at the crease. Bumrah was economical as normal but the rest struggled. Markande was under-bowled as well, simply because he is a leggie and Pant is a southpaw. Wonder what would legends like Steve Waugh have done at this stage - not bowl Warnie just because there is a left-handed batsman playing well? Ummm... well, he would have said - if they have the best, we have OUR best too. Might have been worth giving Markande his full quota of overs.

Mumbai bowled well, but in phases. They restricted Delhi to 46/2 in the Powerplay but then conceded 74 runs in the next 9 overs, picking up just 1 wicket. This was when Pant was in full flow. But look at this from another angle - in the last 5 overs they conceded just 54 runs, which is a good comeback of sorts, considering that Pant was tearing the bowlers apart.

Not surprisingly, the one to orchestrate the innings was Rishabh Pant. A whirlwind 64 from 44 balls, with the number 4 present in the runs, the balls faced and even in the boundaries - meaning 4 fours and 4 sixes. The top order had a regular day at the office, in spite of today being a Sunday - blown away cheaply. Vijay Shankar played a good hand towards the end to lift the total close to 175.

Not a bad total at all. A who-cares-what-happens-game for the home side but certainly not so for the visitors. Mumbai have a terrific net run rate but they need to WIN this game to make it into the final four.

Ben Cutting to A Sharma, A swing and a miss to end the innings. Another cutter from Cutting, Abhishek looks to mow this but misses. The batsmen take a quick bye and DELHI FINISH ON 174/4!

Ben Cutting to V Shankar, Full and outside off, driven towards long off for a run.

Ben Cutting to V Shankar, SIX! GLORIOUS! Great timing. On a length, on middle, Shankar just lofts it straight back and this time the ball clears long on with ease!

Ben Cutting to A Sharma, Jaipur looking, Mumbai turning? Something of that sort. A length ball outside off, Abhishek gets down and looks to swipe but is months early into the shot. The ball hits the back of his bat and goes towards point. A run taken.

Ben Cutting to V Shankar, On middle, swung towards long on. So poorly timed is the shot that it does not even reach the fielder in the deep. A single taken.

Ben Cutting to V Shankar, FOUR! Magnificent shot! On a length, on middle, Shankar just whips it off his hips through square leg and beats Bumrah's dive in the deep!

Ben Cutting to V Shankar, WIDE. A slower one, goes miles outside off, Shankar swings but misses.
