Mumbai Indians' captain Hardik Pandya finally received some reprieve from the unending booing he had been subjected to in the last few days, during Sunday's IPL clash against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Pandya had faced hostility from crowds in previous matches at different stadiums, including Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The 29-year-old had been under scrutiny both in person and on social media after his return to Mumbai Indians as captain, replacing Rohit Sharma.

Delhi Capitals suffered their fourth loss in five matches, slipping down to the bottom of the IPL table. DC now also has the worst NRR of -1.370 among all teams. Batting first, Mumbai Indians posted an imposing 234 for 5 against Delhi Capitals on Wankhede's placid track. Former skipper Rohit Sharma provided a blazing start, scoring 49 off 27 balls and adding 80 for the opening stand in just 7 overs with Ishan Kishan (42 off 23 balls), while Hardik Pandya (39 off 33 balls) and Tim David (45 not out off 21 balls) also contributed useful runs at the back-end. However, it was Romario Shepherd who smashed 39 off 10 balls, with 32 coming off the final over from Anrich Nortje (2/65 in 4 overs), which might have taken the target beyond DC's reach. DC conceded as many as 51 runs in the last two overs. When DC started its chase, Prithvi Shaw came up with a 40-ball 66 with three sixes and eight fours, but the asking rate kept soaring beyond its reach. No. 3 Porel hit a few attractive strokes but failed to make the most of a lifeline he got while batting on 30. The left-hander eventually perished for a 31-ball 41 with five fours, and following him back in the hut soon was Delhi captain Rishabh Pant (1). Delhi's lower order also cut a sorry figure, with Axar Patel (8), Lalit Yadav (3), debutant Kumar Kushagra (0), and Jhye Richardson (2) falling in quick succession, giving Gerald Coetzee a four-wicket haul.

After finding the fence on the first delivery, he showed his ruthless power by hitting three consecutive sixes off the first three deliveries, leaving Nortje clueless. Another four and a six to end the innings powered MI to 234/5. His swashbuckling performance was crucial in the Mumbai Indians' victory. MI went on to register their first victory in the IPL season, defeating the Delhi Capitals by 29 runs.

Romario Shepherd's 10-ball 39 not out outmuscled Tristan Stubb's courageous 71 off 25 balls as Mumbai Indians ended its three-match losing streak in the Indian Premier League with a 29–run win against Delhi Capitals here on Sunday. Conceding as many as 51 runs in the last two overs proved catastrophic for Delhi Capitals, whose bowlers remained wayward and batters lacked the spunk in the initial overs to go after MI bowlers, even though Stubbs went ballistic to make 25-ball 71 not out. The right-handed Stubbs smacked as many as seven sixes and three fours but his effort could only reduce the margin of defeat for Delhi, who lost a flurry of wickets towards the end to finish at 205 for eight in reply to Mumbai Indians' 234 for five. Once again poor quality of domestic talent in DC set-up proved to be their undoing. Save Abhishek Porel, none of the other young uncapped Indians have measured up.
