The Kotla surface was not batsman friendly and Delhi after defending a total against Chennai Super Kings in the previous game opted to bat, Rishabh Pant, the orange cap holder, ensured that his side post a fighting total with a 44-ball 64. It was then upto the bowlers, especially the leg-spin duo of Mishra and Lamichhane to bowl Delhi to a win and the pair did a commanding job, 8-0-55-6. But Mumbai batsmen also played some reckless shots to throw their wickets. Lewis gave them the start they needed, but once spin was introduced they capitulated. Cutting kept them in the game with his big-hitting but 18 off the final over was too big an ask for the Australian all-rounder as well. Credit to Shreyas Iyer, who went with Harshal Patel instead of Plunkett and the Indian pacer kept his nerve and delivered for his team.

Ufff! Let us all take a breather first. What a game we witnessed! The defending champions, three time winners Mumbai Indians don't make it to the playoffs. Superb performance from Delhi Daredevils. Not many had given them a chance before this game considering their form and how Mumbai play in crunch games. So, to turn up and knock the defending champions out, has to be the most satisfying end to their season.

Harshal Patel to Bumrah, out Caught by Boult!! Mumbai have been knocked out. Cutting and Rohit take a moment to soak in what has transpired. The Mumbai skipper then gathers himself and shakes hands with his team mates. It is only the fourth time that Mumbai have not made the playoffs. Some happy faces in the Delhi camp as they finish with back to back wins. Another slower delivery and Bumrah had to go for it, miscued it towards long-on and Boult ran in to complete the catch. Bumrah c Boult b Harshal Patel 0(1)

Harshal Patel to Bumrah, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Mustafizur Rahman, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Harshal Patel to Cutting, out Caught by Maxwell!! Patel pumps his fist. Cutting hangs his head down and trudges off. The Mumbai supporters are in shock. That must be the match? The slower delivery and it was right in the arc, but the slow nature made Cutting generate all the power and he could only heave it as far as deep mid-wicket. Maxwell keeps his cool and takes it calmly. Settled nicely under it. Cutting c Maxwell b Harshal Patel 37(20) [4s-2 6s-3]

Harshal Patel to Cutting, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Iyer has a word with Patel. Field being changed. Pressure on!

Harshal Patel to Cutting, SIX, oh my! Cutting has got the best possible start to the over. Patel does not have the pace to bowl short and it sits up nicely for Cutting, who swivels across and sends the pull soaring over the long leg fence

Harshal Patel [2.0-0-22-1] is back into the attack

Jasprit Bumrah, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Mumbai need 18 off the final over. Who will Iyer go to? It is going to be Harshal Patel. Cutting is the man for Mumbai. Some happy faces in the Mumbai dugout. That is good to see. Here we go..

Boult to Markande, out Bowled!! Bowled 'im. Top over under pressure from the Kiwi. Mumbai could get only 5 runs off it. Round the wicket and though he misses the yorker length, his pace makes up for it, Markande does not lay bat on the pacy full toss and has his off-stump uprooted. Markande b Boult 3(10)

Boult to Markande, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Markande has a free swing. It won't matter if he gets out while trying the big shot.

Boult to Cutting, 1 run, just a single. Another low full toss outside off, Cutting slices it on the bounce to deep backward point. Boult has bowled to his field and needs to finish it well

Boult to Cutting, 2 runs, very casual from Plunkett. He does not bother to cut the angle and ends up gifting the second. Full toss slanted outside off, Cutting slices the loft over extra cover and Plunkett allows the second
