DC vs MI, 16th Match at Delhi, IPL, Apr 11 2023 - Match Result

11.21pm Nortje and Mustafizur put on a death-bowling masterclass, but MI's Impact Player Tim David has taken them home off the last ball. MI drag themselves off the bottom of the standings with their first win this season. "You look at the last three IPL games, amazing," David Warner says. "Wrong end of it today, but the guys were fantastic. Two balls were wrong and that's the game. We did well to bring it back in. Nortje is world-class and that's what we expect from the big fella. Mustafiz too. Timmy David was on the wrong side of it, so I tried to keep it [the throw] at stump-height. I think from the last three games, we've some positives but we shouldn't lose wickets in clumps. Axar should bat in the top four; he got us to a par total."

Rohit, MI captain and Player of the Match: Obviously, winning the game is the most important thing and it's a great feeling to cross the line. We've been working really, really hard and we had camps in Mumbai a couple of weeks before the tournament. To get the result feels really good and we're going to cherish this. We recently played a Test match here and this pitch didn't look different to that and looked dry. So, I thought it was important to get the slower bowlers into the game quickly. We thought 173 was chaseable, and everyone put their hand up. When I went to bat, I wanted to make full use of the powerplay because as the game went on, I thought it would be tough with the couple of quality spinners they had. We tried to create a partnership and good to see Tilak bat with that intent as well. We always knew it would be tough for the new batter to come and bat. Like you said, we got a lot of young guys and it's all about giving them confidence and trust in their ability. We want to have a healthy atmosphere and we don't want to make drastic changes based on results.

Green: Took the helmet off and thankfully it [the two] came off. The only conversation we had was to be busy and thankfully a few came off. There was pressure, but it's so much fun. Getting ten an over - that's why you're here. I knew when the ball came to Tim's end...he's a big boy and can dive.

Phew, that was another tense finish. Thanks for your company and comments. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Andrew Miller and Thilak Ram. Goodbye and good night.

Divyank Singh: ""Axar should bat in the top 4", that was a much needed statement from the captain"

PV: "Axar, Porel, Fizz, Nortje, Lalit - many positives for DC !"

Samaresg: "This are the games which makes MI so dangerous .Hopefully this is the first of many this season "

MI need 2 off 1 ball. Change of bat for David. He keeps Nortje waiting

Afeef: "That was Lasith Malinga stuff by Anrich Nortje in that last over"

Dinesh: "@Jai I am sure Boucher won't agree with You :)"

Jai: "All South Africans are with Nortje. Go DC go..."

Shubham: "All Australians are with MI,Go Green and Tim David"

Arif: "All the Bangladeshis are behind DC. Go Fizz!!"

Kushal Mehta: "@Kartik: Tilak Verma has shown the consistency. Plus he bowls good part time off spin, something that is missing in the Indian top order."

Shyam: "Time for the two big aussies to finish the job.."

Nortje. He will operate from over the wicket

Green has joined David

Reetam: "This pitch would have been perfect for Sakariya. Wonder how come DC didn't pick him in place of Mukesh"
