Here is the IPL 2023 Points Table after the thrilling DC vs MI match. MI are off the mark while DC slump. Also, here is the Orange and Purple Cap lists.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 witnessed yet another final ball thriller for the third day in a row as Cameron Green and Tim David survived a barrage of pacey yorkers from Anrich Nortje to drive Mumbai Indians home against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday. The five-time IPL winners won the contest by six wickets and with this outcome also opened their account in the ongoing edition.
Coming back to the match, Nortje had five runs to defend in the final over and he gave only three off the first five balls, which also included Mukesh Kumar dropping a simple catch of Tim David.
Green, who made unbeaten 17, and David (13 not out) scampered for two runs in the final ball to bring an end to otherwise a one-sided affair till the time Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma were batting in the middle.
The MI skipper scored his first half-century in 25 innings before getting out for 65(45) with Delhi wicketkeeper Abishek Porel grabbing a one-handed stunner. Together with Tilak, the pair added crucial 68 runs for the second wicket, before stitching a 71-run stand for the opening wicket with Ishan Kishan.
Earlier, Axar Patel played a sensational 25-ball 54 to bail Delhi out of danger after they were reduced to 98/5. Apart from him, David Warner hit yet another half-century before getting out for 51(47). Meanwhile, Mumbai did an exceptional job in the death overs and picked the final five batters in 10 balls. Jason Behrendorff and Piyush Chawla shared three wickets each.
