Arun Jaitley Stadium: Tilak Varma peppered the mid-wicket boundary well to top-score with 59, his second half-century of the season, as Mumbai Indians posted a competitive 205/5 in their 20 overs against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.

On a pitch which had some cracks, all of MI’s batters barring captain Hardik Pandya had starts, but only Varma marched forward to make 59 off 33 balls, with 22 of his runs coming through the mid-wicket region. He was also supported by Naman Dhir making 38 not out at the other end. For DC, barring Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam, all of their bowlers were expensive in their spells.

Pushed into batting first, Ryan Rickleton was off to a great start – flicking and driving to collect fours, while swivelling for a mighty 80m six over mid-wicket. After Rickleton glanced Starc for four, Rohit Sharma picked a six off a top-edge on scoop - a neat square drive was followed by a top-notch lofted drive, as 19 runs came off third over.
