DC beat MI!
DC and MI played their 8th match today as they continue their ( very tight) race for the top 4 spots in the semifinal!Gilli calling the correct side of the coin at the toss chose to bat and watched from other end as Gibbs returned back to pavilion (in the 2nd over) yet again without making any runs!DC innings was kind of a collective effort by their batsman with no real big innings,the highest was R.Sharma's 38 as they posted 145!
Defending 146 DC's best chances were when they get MI's explosive openers early and that was exactly what they got(thanks to R.P Singh) with both of them back in the hut as early as the 2nd over!Just when Game seems slipping away from Deccan as Duminy and Shah got going they(Deccan) came back by picking up P.Shah just before the strategic break and the game was evenly poised at the break with MI at 71/3.After the break it seems like Mumbai had the game in the bag @ 97/3 in the 14th over but when Bravo fell to a needless shot it got interesting again and then just out of nowhere R.Sharma took 4 wickets off 4 balls(second hatrick in this IPL by a part time slow bowler after Yuvi) to reduce them to 109/8 and the game has yet again taken that unexpected (and uncharacteristic) twist which makes this T20 so interesting and engaging!MI end at 126 as DC won by 19 runs!
With that (eventful) win DC move to top with Delhi on 10 pts(but Delhi has a game in hand) and all that separate both these team is a NRR difference of +0.006 in favour of Delhi!
DC beat MI by 19 runs.
