IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: Nabi strikes! He beats Porel in flight, the batter had stepped well out of the crease, it goes through to the keeper who whips off the bail. It is not a stumping through, as Porel had got a faint edge.

IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: Pandya returns for the seventh over and Porel is on strike. The first two balls are dots after which Porel finally connects and sends it towards the fine leg boundary for a four. It was a rather wayward delivery from Pandya and he follows that up with an even worse delivery, short and angling down leg at a friendlu pace, Porel pulls him over fine leg for a six that brings up DC’s 100 in the seventh over. And then a rather risky single, Nabi throws from mid-off. The wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan comes in but cheekily leaves the ball thinking it will be a direct hit. It wasn’t and the ball raced away to the boundary for four overthrows, making it five off that ball. Then JFM muscles the last one down the ground for a six. 21 runs in that over, a combination of sloppy bowling from Pandya and sloppy fielding from his team.

Then the fifth ball is sent past mid-off for a four and the last is sent into the stands behind deep square leg for yet another six. Fraser-McGurk has scored 78 in 24 balls.

IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: A scorching hot day with not a single cloud in the sky. The temperature is touching 40 degrees celsius. The dimensions – 59 meters, on the other side 64 meters and down town is roughly about 73, but the major concern is 54 meters behind the wicket on one side. The pitch is quite bare, there is no grass here and you’d think wow that is going to be brilliant for the spinners. It is going to be slightly better for the spinners, but the problem for the bowlers is it is rock hard. It is like a sheet of marble. No grass will allow the spinners to have a bit of turn and if you look at the spin attacks, Delhi have a slight advantage. Nothing for the seamers.

IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: Perhaps nothing shows how much of a roller coaster season this has been for DC than the fact that they have the worse economies in both the death overs and the powerplay. They are going at 10.46 in the powerplay while in the death overs, their economy is a whopping 14.7.

IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: Delhi could consider dropping Anrich Nortje today. He has an economy of 13.36 and that 32-run over by Romario Shepherd came against the South African. Australian Jhye Richardson is waiting in the rings and so don’t be surprised if there is one change in the pace department for DC today.

IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: Axar Patel has a good record against Suryakumar Yadav. SKY has been able to score just 86 runs off 83 balls against him and has been dismissed six times.

IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: The general rule with an all-rounder is that they can make an impact in multiple ways and so if one of their facilities isn’t working as well as it normally does, they can be useful in some other way. In the case of Hardik Pandya, all of his facilities seem to be faulty this season. In eight innings in IPL 2024, he has scored just 151 runs, averaging 21.57 with a strike rate of 142.25. With the ball, he has only managed four wickets going at an economy rate of 10.94. Pandya’s tactics as captain have also come under scrutiny.

MI’s bowling attack have been a sputtering mess at times but Bumrah has been bowling in a world of his own. He has followed up his stellar performance in the Test series against England and the World Cup before that with this and thus established himself as the best bowler in the world across formats by some distance.

IPL 2024 DC vs MI Live Score, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: Another day in a season that has sent cricket into a bit of an existential crisis. What we have seen in the IPL this year is T20 cricket at its purest. The reason for the game to get shorter and shorter is for fans to enjoy the most accessible part of cricket, batters hitting big sixes. All other aspects of the game such as bowling tactics, field placements, a bowler gradually setting up a batter, a batter seeing off the threat from a tricky bowler and a tricky pitch are all left to take a back seat in this format almost by design. And yet, when that is finally happening, we are left to wonder if this is really what cricket needs to be. Can cricket remain an interesting sport if the only tactic that matters in it is try to hit the ball, if you get a six, great, if not, well at least you tried. Well, those are all big questions that require long, well thought out answers and thinking isn’t really something we have a whole lot of space for in the IPL. On to the next run feast then and today, we have the Delhi Capitals hosting the Mumbai Indians.
