IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians match (Updated)
The 16th match of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) took place between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, April 11.
Visiting captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first. The revamped MI bowling unit struck at regular intervals, with Piyush Chawla picking up three wickets.
DC were reeling at 98/5 in the 13th over, but Axar Patel scored a crucial fifty, while Warner once again anchored the innings. MI fought back with four wickets in the penultimate over to restrict DC to 172 in the first innings.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan got MI off to a rapid start during the run chase. However, the dominant opening wicket partnership was brought to an end after a mix-up between the two batters led to Ishan Kishan's dismissal.
The MI skipper scored his first IPL fifty since 2021, but his untimely dismissal stretched the game until the final delivery. The five-time champions emerged as victorious to notch their first win of the season while DC lost their fourth match in a row.
