When the Delhi Capitals team came out to chase the score of 235 runs in this match, everyone expected that the pair of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw would give a good start but the team got its first blow at the score of 22 in the form of Warner who was dismissed in 8 balls.

Tristan Stubbs, who came to bat after the dismissal of Prithvi Shaw, took up the responsibility of scoring runs at a fast pace, in which he started batting openly against the Mumbai Indians batsmen from one end, but he did not get such support from the other end. Due to this, Delhi Capitals kept lagging behind in the match. While captain Rishabh Pant returned to the pavilion after scoring only 1 run, Akshar Patel could also score only 8 runs.
