In the 55th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Mumbai Indians, Mumbai bowled well to restrict Delhi to 174 for four in the allotted 20 overs at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi, on Sunday.
After winning the toss, Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first and Australian player Glenn Maxwell opened Delhi’s innings along with young Indian batsman Prithvi Shaw. The duo added 30 runs for the first wicket in 3 overs before Prithvi Shaw was sent back because of a bizarre run-out by Hardik Pandya. And soon Maxwell was removed by Jasprit Bumrah at the score of 22 runs.
