Courtesy of the commanding win, Delhi managed to climb to the second spot in the IPL 2021 points table with three wins in four games and six points to their name.

DC vs MI scorecard
Mumbai Indians saw the best Rohit Sharma IPL 2021 start where he scored 44 runs from 30 balls, giving them a strong foundation. However, the lower batting order, other than Jayant Yadav all went out for a single-digit score. It was Amit Mishra’s impact on the DC vs MI scorecard where the Delhi spinner took 4 crucial wickets of dangerous batsmen like Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard.
Mishra was also able to send Ishan Kishan back to the dugout after he seemed comfortable with the pitch and ready to fire. The Rohit Sharma injury also kept him away from most part of the match. Amit Mishra was awarded the Player of the Match with Shimron Hetmeyer playing a sensible innings to finish the match for DC.
