Delhi's bowlers, led by Mukesh Kumar and Rasikh Salam, applied pressure consistently, picking up crucial wickets at regular intervals.Overall, it was a high-scoring thriller with both teams showcasing their batting prowess, but Delhi Capitals emerged victorious, clinching the match by 10 runs. JFM was awarded the Man of the Match. 
Hardik Pandya, Skipper: " The game is getting tighter by the day. What used to take a couple of overs to change is now happening in just a few balls. Given the intense pressure on the bowlers in such games, we've backed ourselves to adapt.Reflecting on our performance, there were moments where we could have been more aggressive, particularly during the middle overs. With a left-arm spinner like Axar Patel bowling, our left-handed batters could have taken more chances, which unfortunately we missed out on due to a lack of game awareness.Jake Fraser-McGurk's batting was truly impressive. He displayed maturity by selecting the right balls to attack, taking calculated risks, and utilizing the field effectively. It's a testament to the fearlessness of youth.As for the decision to bowl first, I wouldn't change it."
Rishabh pant, Skipper: "We were pretty satisfied with our score, crossing the 250-mark. However, the impact player rule adds a new layer of complexity to the game with each passing day. As for keeping up to the stumps, it's definitely something I can do. Yet, it requires coordination with the bowlers, especially when they're delivering full and wide deliveries. It's a strategy to keep the batters in check within their crease.Today, it worked well, particularly against a batter like David who tends to walk down the pitch. Fraser-McGurk has been outstanding since day one, displaying remarkable growth in each match. It's precisely the kind of progress you hope to see in a young player.Regarding our playoff chances, they're gradually improving, but we're adopting a game-by-game approach, focusing on the present without getting ahead of ourselves."
Jake Fraser - McGurk is the Player of the Match
Jake Fraser - McGurk:"It was nerve-wracking out there. Despite studying his footage all day, once you're in the game, everything changes, and you simply react to the ball. Testing yourself against the world's best bowler is always a challenge, but it's also an opportunity to learn and grow.You have to navigate through the highs and lows of the game, and innings like these certainly boost my confidence and contribute to the team's success. Being in the thick of the action, you truly realize the level of competition in the IPL compared to other leagues, and it's an incredible experience to be part of it."
Delhi Capitals are set to clash with Mumbai Indians in match number 43 of the TATA IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi is coming into this match following a close victory over Gujarat Titans, where they narrowly defended a total of 224, thanks to standout performances from Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant, and Mukesh Kumar's effective death bowling. With Jake Fraser-McGurk providing solid starts and Tristan Stubbs finishing strong, Delhi aims to maintain their winning momentum.
On the other side, Mumbai Indians are looking to recover from a heavy defeat against Rajasthan Royals, where their bowling vulnerabilities were exposed, especially as Jasprit Bumrah struggled against Yashasvi Jaiswal's batting onslaught. The recent inclusion of Nuwan Thushara has yet to yield significant results, but he is expected to play a crucial role alongside Bumrah in the death overs. Mumbai, having already secured a win against Delhi earlier this season, is eager to replicate that success and get back on the winning track. This match promises to be a compelling encounter as both teams vie for crucial points mid-season.

PITCH REPORT:
Danny Morrison and Sanjay Manjrekar: " There is not a cloud in the sky and the mercury is almost touching 40, 39 degrees for an afternoon fixture. The dimensions to my left are 59 meters, on the other side 64 meters and downtown is roughly about 73, but the major concern is 54 meters behind the wicket on one side. There is no grass here and you'd think wow that is going to be brilliant for the spinners. It is like a sheet of marble. No grass will allow the spinners to have a bit of turn and if you look at the spin attacks, Delhi have a slight advantage for the spin attack they possess. Nothing for the seamers to be honest".

Hardik Pandya, Skipper: "We're going to field first. The ground is small so It's better to bat second on a smaller ground. Every match is a new match, we make sure we are not out. We keep fighting and keep coming hard in each game. That is the brand of Cricket we want to play and put the best foot forward. The mood is fine, happy chats, all is well. Wood comes in for Coetzee"
Rishabh Pant, Skipper: " We were looking to bat first anyway. I think it will get slower in the second innings. It has been amazing, we're getting the kind of wickets we want. As a team, we have to play well and we have been. This is something we talked about - how to control the innings. Bowling with the new ball and bowling at the death is difficult, one over here or there is making all the difference. Team for us, Prithvi Shaw misses out and Kumar Kushagra comes in."
