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

We are set to get rolling. Prithvi Shaw and Glenn Maxwell are the openers for Delhi. Krunal Pandya to begin the proceedings with the ball. Here we go....

Mumbai skipper, Rohit Sharma, says that it looks like a dry pitch and they need to play good cricket. Mentions that they have to restrict the opposition to as low as possible and chase the total down. Announces that Mitchell McClenaghan is suffering from a shoulder niggle and Mustafizur Rahman replaces him.

Delhi skipper, Shreyas Iyer, says that they will bat first. Mentions that there is no grass on the wicket and they will try to put a good score on the board. States that it will be a challenging game and they will give their best. Informs that there is one change - Liam Plunkett comes in place of Avesh Khan.

TOSS - Delhi win the toss and opt to bat.

Delhi, on the other hand, will be eager to sign off with a victory. Though they are at the rock bottom of the table, they are a highly capable side. When a team has nothing to lose, they become even more dangerous. The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant have shown sparks of brilliance on numerous occasions and will be aiming to deliver once again. Expect a cracking contest.

Hello and a warm welcome to the coverage of match 55 between Delhi and Mumbai. It is a do-or-die game for the visitors. Another opportunity for them to script an inspirational entry into the playoffs. They will be backing themselves as they have done it time and again. However, they can't afford to take the hosts lightly. A complete team performance is the need of the hour for the visitors. Might just be the ideal time for the Mumbai skipper to rise to the occasion.
