Looks like Mumbai Indians finally pulled one back! Mumbai Indians beats Delhi Capitals by 12 runs

Match Recap: 🏏 Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 12 runs in what turned out to be a tight, entertaining contest at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. After a rough stretch, MI’s bowlers held their nerve under pressure, defending their total despite the high-scoring conditions in Delhi. The Story of the Match: MI’s Batting: They posted a competitive total (likely in the 180-200 range, given Delhi's nature) with important contributions from their middle order — possibly a Hardik Pandya cameo or a Tilak Varma acceleration played a part. DC’s Chase: Delhi Capitals, who’ve been in red-hot form at home, looked in control for a large part of the chase but stumbled during the death overs. MI’s pace attack, probably led by Jasprit Bumrah or Gerald Coetzee, put the brakes on at the perfect moment. 🔥 Key Takeaways: A much-needed win for MI to stay alive in the playoff race. DC’s winning streak broken, despite their strong home record. Classic Bumrah at the death? Or did someone else shine late on? That was a proper statement innings from Tilak Varma — especially after being subbed out just two games ago! 💪 Coming back under pressure and delivering a composed 59 off 43 on a pitch where others around him fell trying to overhit — that's the kind of maturity Mumbai's been hoping to see from him. And then Naman Dhir... what a finisher’s knock! His 38 off 17 really gave MI that late burst they needed after the mini-collapse. That partnership of 60 off 33 with Tilak pretty much flipped the innings on its head, especially after losing Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya in quick succession. MI’s innings summary: 🔥 Tilak Varma — Anchored & accelerated at the right moments. 💥 Naman Dhir — High-impact finishing burst. 💡 Smart recovery after mid-innings wobble. Posting 205/5 on a ground like Kotla is always competitive, and MI’s bowlers did just enough to hold off DC in the end. Scores:Mumbai Indians 205/5 (Tilak Varma 59, Ryan Rickelton 41; Kuldeep Yadav 2-23) beat Delhi Capitals 193 (Karun Nair 89; Karn Sharma 3-36) by 12 runs
