Player of the Match: Jake Fraser-McGurk
From the presentation party
Jake Fraser-McGurk | Player of the Match: It was pretty nervous. I had looked at his (Bumrah's) footage all day. But in the game everything goes out of the window and you just have to see the ball. It is good to test yourself against the best bowler in the world. You have to ride the waves of highs and lows. These innings are good for my confidence and for my team. From outside you don't know the level of the competition, this is such a higher level than the other leagues and it is amazing to be a part of it.
Rishabh Pant | DC captain: We were pretty happy with 250 on the board but with impact sub it is getting difficult each and every day. Definitely I can do that (come up to the stumps) but the bowler also should be confident, but with a batter like David was walking down and today it worked. He (Fraser-McGurk) has been amazing since the first day and this is what you want from a younger player, he's getting better and better with each game. The chances (of making it to the playoffs) are increasing day by day, but we are taking it one game at a time.
Hardik Pandya - Losing skipper
"Because of the kind of games and how the bowlers are under pressure, we backed ourselves to chase this. We could have taken a couple of more chances in the middle overs. The left-handers could have probably gone after Axar [Patel] a little bit; it's something we missed out in terms of game awareness. It was quite amazing the way Fraser-McGurk batted, he took calculated risks, he played the field really well. It shows the fearlessness of youth."
Tilak is out
Excellent throw from the deep gets Tilak Varma run out. Mumbai's hopes are dead.
25 off the last one
3 runs off the last ball, and now the final over has 25 runs to get for the Mumbai Indians. Tilak will be on strike.
SIX
Chawla hits the first ball for a maximum.
WICKET
Rasikh Salam gets the better of Mohammad Nabi after getting hit for a six. What a night this youngster is having.
WICKET
Tim David departs as Mukesh Kumar strikes with his second wicket of the evening. After scoring 14 of the first three balls, Mukesh has the last laugh as he sends the Aussie back to the hut. DRS doesn't help the batter, as its 'Umpire's Call'.
End of 17 overs
MI need 64 off the last three overs.
71 off 4
The equation is simple. Can go either ways, as the game will resume after the Strategic Timeout.
Fifty for Varma
Tilak Varma brings up his half-century with a boundary in the 16th over, reaching there in 25 balls. But his job is not done yet.
Tim David is in the mood
After fall of Wadhera's wicket in the same over as Pandya's, Tim David came to the crease. On the fifth ball of the 14th over, David smashed Khaleel over long on for a huge six. The ball landed right into the stands, as a fan got injured and was taken for some treatment. We hope it ain't something serious.
I hope the fan is ok at the delhi stadium. My good wishes to him.

The skipper departs
Rasikh Salam Dar gets his man, as Hardik Pandya hands a simple catch to Mukesh Kumar inside the circle. MI are 136 for the loss of four, as they still need 122 more to win this contest. Nehal Wadhera replaces the MI skipper.
We thought that's flying arena, xD
During the innings, a flying kite came on the field, as Rishabh Pant was having some fun with it on the field. The kite actually came to Rohit Sharma who then passed the flying object to the Delhi skipper. The video of the moment went instantly viral all over the social media. The instance happened when the second innings had just begun, as MI aim to chase down 258 from 20 overs.
