New Delhi, April 4 – Sameer Rizvi once again proved to be the hero, leading Delhi Capitals to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. His swashbuckling 90 off 51 balls was the key to their success.
The match was played on a slow pitch that favored batsmen. Mumbai Indians posted a competitive score of 162/2 after winning the toss. Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 51, while Rohit Sharma contributed 35.
However, Delhi Capitals were able to chase down the target with ease, thanks to Rizvi's outstanding innings. He hit seven sixes and seven fours, scoring 90 runs at a strike rate of 176.47. He also shared good partnerships with Pathum Nissanka (44) and David Miller (21).
Rizvi's performance was particularly impressive, as he became the first player to hit seven sixes against Mumbai Indians in the history of the IPL.
Mumbai Indians struggled to contain Rizvi, and their spin bowlers were unable to make an impact. The Delhi Capitals' victory sets the stage for a successful home season.
