- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 what a way to get the first IPL wicket, he has yorked Parthiv for a great spectacle! The batsman made a bit of room, Rabada sent down his third yorker of the over and it hit the base of leg stump. Big celebration from Rabada with a punch 37/15.1 direct hit from Sanju Samson and that's the end of Buttler! I wonder why Buttler said yes to that. Rana defended the back of length ball close to the pitch with soft hands and set off quickly. Buttler responded quickly too but Samson was inside the circle and swooped in in no time and then got the stumps with an underarm throw. Excellent effort 47/27.2 and he's pulled it straight to deep midwicket, the man was just moved there. Such a simple trap - short ball for Rana's trademark pull, he does pull and Corey Anderson hardly moves in the deep for a straightforward catch. Such a big wicket this one 56/38.1 they are giving them away - Rohit has swept it to deep backward square leg for a good catch from Cummins. Rohit took a big stride towards the ball and swept that one hard against the spin, Cummins was at long leg and ran a bit to his left for a catch around shoulder height with both hands. Looks like that was a wrong'un and Rohit did pick it, and then picked the fielder too 60/417.1 a top edge, couple of fielders come under it and Samson takes it easily in the end. Back of length offcutter as Cummins rolled his fingers over it, Pollard swung hard and only got a top edge before Samson came in from long off 120/612.4 there's the googly, vociferous appeal for a catch from Rishabh Pant and the finger goes up. The googly turns away from Krunal, he waits back and tries to tickle it fine towards third man by showing the bat late to the ball, but only manages a thin edge and Rishabh takes it this time 84/519.3 another run out. A yorker on leg stump, he swings it to deep midwicket and a slightly inaccurate throw from Karun Nair means Pant collects the ball and then stretches his arms to not allow the second run 135/818.6 a yorker from Rabada and he's run Harbhajan out with some footwork! Hardik blocked the ball and the ball was right there in front of the stumps, they went for the run and Rabada ran hard to kick the ball and hit the stumps. He's beaten Harbhajan in the sprint 132/7Extras16 (lb 5, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL142/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Did not bat: JJ BumrahFall of wickets: 1-37 (Parthiv Patel, 3.6 ov), 2-47 (Jos Buttler, 5.1 ov), 3-56 (Nitish Rana, 7.2 ov), 4-60 (Rohit Sharma, 8.1 ov), 5-84 (Krunal Pandya, 12.4 ov), 6-120 (Kieron Pollard, 17.1 ov), 7-132 (Harbhajan Singh, 18.6 ov), 8-135 (Hardik Pandya, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 gone, he's hit that straight to mid-off! Fullish, though not a half-volley, and he plays a checked drive on the up. Ends up timing it better than he expected, perhaps, maybe pushed at it a bit earlier than he should have, and popped it straight to Rohit at chest height 10/20.4 Sensational fielding from Hardik! Back of a length outside off, pushed to the right of short extra-cover and they look to pinch a quick single. Hardik, though, is quicker to the ball than the batsmen expect, picks up and underarms to the bowler's end in one motion, hits the stumps direct, and the diving Tare is a fair distance short of the crease 1/16.3 he's chopped it on! It was a regular length delivery outside off with some room, Nair cut off the back foot but got a bottom edge onto his stumps. The last thing Delhi needed right now 24/63.3 edged down the leg side, there goes number three! Back of length from Mitch M, Iyer could have easily left it for a wide but he tried to run it fine and edged it behind 20/33.6 Mitch M gets one more in the over, it's his third! He fired in another one with the angle from around off, it was headed for middle or leg stump and Anderson's bat missed the ball, which went on to hit the back pad on the back foot. He turned back to appeal and saw the finger go up. Mitch M and the crowd turning it on 21/45.3 edged straight to first slip! Pant goes for a duck. Bumrah banged it in short outside off and angled it away, Pant waited and guided it fine, but it went straight to Harbhajan who pouched it easily 21/518.4 this one's on leg stump, Rabada misses again but Bumrah doesn't. Bumrah rolled his fingers over it again, it was slow and Rabada was through with the shot as the ball hit the base of leg stump. But a very impressive knock from Rabada on debut 115/7Extras8 (b 2, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL128/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.4)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Aditya Tare, 0.4 ov), 2-10 (Sanju Samson, 1.2 ov), 3-20 (Shreyas Iyer, 3.3 ov), 4-21 (Corey Anderson, 3.6 ov), 5-21 (Rishabh Pant, 5.3 ov), 6-24 (Karun Nair, 6.3 ov), 7-115 (Kagiso Rabada, 18.4 ov)

Match Coverage

After defending a sub-par 142 with three early wickets, Mumbai Indians fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan attributed the victory to the team's strategy of going out and being "too aggressive with the ball."
