Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians, 2nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kuldeep Yadav | Player of the Match: It was a difficult time for me. I was out with injury for five months. It was important for me to go for the rehab and thanks to the facilities and trainers at the NCA, I recovered very well and in time to get back into the Indian set up. And slowly I started match preparation and when I started playing the games, I got the confidence and Rohit motivated me a lot. Whatever changes need to be done, I had that communication with him. And here in the Delhi set up I spoke to Ricky (Ponting) and he backed me a lot. I was lacking rhythm from a long time and I worked on my rhythm a lot and never compromised on turning the ball despite the variation in pace.

Rishabh Pant | Winning captain: At the back of our minds with us losing wickets, we felt it was gone, but we just kept believing. We tried to focus on controllables. We knew we didn't have a lot of manpower with Mitch Marsh and Warner not here. But we just wanted to make use of whatever we had. It is one of the best spells of Kuldeep in a long time. He was just giving it his everything in the nets and at practice. It is important to not be complacent after just one match.

Tim Seifert: Everything is good. Great way to start the campaign, for me and the team. It was entertaining (game), T20 cricket. We showed fighting courage. Sometimes you got to stick the mitts out. It was good to see the back of him early (on Pollard's catch). We have been here for a week. It has been excellent. The cricket we have been talking (with Ponting) has been excellent. Looking forward to the next few months with him.

Rohit Sharma | losing captain: I thought it was a good score. It didn't look like a pitch where you can get 170+ at the start but we played in the middle and finished well. Just didn't bowl according?to our plans. Never been the talk (of badly wanting to win the first game). We always come prepared whether it's the first game or last game. We want to win every game. Things didn't go according?to plan but that can happen. Just need to stay close as a group and take the learnings. Disappointed with the loss but not the end.

19:16 Local Time, 13:46 GMT, 19:16 IST: The Patel-Yadav show has got Dc over the line. They got 75 runs off 30 balls to do it for Delhi. They were down and out with a lot of runs needed and required rate going up to 11. But Patel's arrival just changed the course for DC. Prior to that Thakur played a little cameo to ignite some hopes. DC got off to a quick start but Seifert's cameo didn't really help DC much. Shaw also got a good start but didn't kick on as regular wickets in the middle overs didn't help the case of DC. Lalit Yadav also didn't start off that confidently and it seemed DC's chase was over but then Axar arrived. This after MI had done well with the bat on the back of Ishan Kishan's valiant knock. It is a double-header day and without wasting much time, switch to the second game of the day.

Bumrah to Axar, FOUR, fuller length delivery down leg and has been clipped away fine. Four more. That's it. DC have done a day light robbery under artifical lights. They win by 4 wickets

Bumrah to Lalit Yadav, 1 run, right up there and has been squeezed out into the on-side for a single

Jasprit Bumrah [3.0-0-38-0] is back into the attack

Daniel Sams to Axar, SIX, in a hurry! All hell has broken loose for MI. That was another slower delivery and Axar whips that off the pads over deep square. Flat six. Only four needed now and MI have been hit badly by this partnership

Daniel Sams to Lalit Yadav, 1 run, whips the fuller length delivery to deep mid for a single

Daniel Sams to Lalit Yadav, FOUR, is he a silk merchant or what? His timing has been pristine. 11 needed now. That was fuller outside off and Lalit Yadav drives it with elan to get it away from long-off

Daniel Sams to Lalit Yadav, SIX, you beauty! Lalit Yadav joins the fun as well. Slower, fuller, drop-kicked over long-on. Lalit Yadav is playing a gem

Daniel Sams to Axar, 1 run, 21 needed off 16 balls now. That was fuller and at the pads, clipped down to deep mid for a single

Daniel Sams to Axar, SIX, bangs in the slower ball and Axar has hit that into space. Astronomical hit from Bapu Patel. That was out of the top drawer. PIcked up the length, picked up the pace and deposited that one over deep backward for a huge hit

Daniel Sams [3.0-0-33-0] is back into the attack

46 off 22 between these two. Massive turnaround from this duo. Here is Sams.

Harsha Bhogle: Importance of batting depth on display. Delhi Capitals bat deep. Game on

Basil Thampi to Lalit Yadav, leg byes, FOUR, leg byes and four! That was a fuller ball on the pads and Lalit Yadav missed the clip. The ball though sped away off the pads to fine leg for a four. The keeper dived but it was away from him

Anant: "Mumbai just don't seem to want to win their first game. They are doing everything they can to mess this even from such a strong position."

Basil Thampi to Lalit Yadav, wide, well down leg and has been wided. That was an attempted yorker from round the wicket but well off the mark

Basil Thampi to Axar, 1 run, low dipping full toss, heaved away to deep mid for a single. Didn't time or place it. 33 needed off 19 balls now

Basil Thampi to Axar, FOUR, clean as a whistle! Straight as a ram-rod. That was pitched up and Axar slams it down the ground for a four.. Excellent hit indeed. 34 needed now
