IPL 2026: Sameer Rizvi's Swashbuckling 90 Seals DC’s Clinical Six-wicket Win Over MI (ld)
Indian Premier League: For the second game running, Sameer Rizvi walked in and changed the complexion of a chase - this time by smashing a swashbuckling 90 off 51 balls to guide Delhi Capitals to a comfortable six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians and record their second straight win of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
On a black soil pitch which was slow and got better to bat on, stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 51 as MI posted a competitive 162/2. It was the kind of innings where MI never quite found its stride - initially, Suryakumar and Rohit Sharma steadied proceedings with a 53-run stand.
But just as the partnership threatened to build into something decisive, DC stopped them and picked wickets at regular intervals, as MI made only 38 runs in the last four overs. Mukesh Kumar was the standout bowler with 2-26. In the chase of 163, DC were at 73/3, before Rizvi got the game in his team’s favour by hitting seven fours and as many sixes at a strike-rate of 176.47.
