In the IPL, MI scored the second-highest total.
The Delhi Capitals were soundly defeated by the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 match number twenty-one in Mumbai. The Mumbai Indians have won their first game of the season after overcoming a three-match losing streak, while the Delhi Capitals have now dropped four of their last five games.
The Delhi Capitals nearly instantly regretted sending Mumbai Indians to bat first after seeing how quickly Rohit Sharma (49 off 27) and Ishan Kishan (42 off 23) could get the team to 80 runs in only seven overs. Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav did not perform well, but MI managed to record a massive 234/5 thanks to the efforts of Tim David (45* off 21) and Romario Shepherd (39* off 10).
Prithvi Shaw (66 off 40) and Tristan Stubbs (71* off 25) put up a fight that saw Delhi Capitals surpass the 200-run threshold, even though it never seemed like they would truly pursue this total. After two straight games without a wicket, Jasprit Bumrah (2 for 22) made an impact by batting at a pace lower than the run-a-ball and holding a large total.
Delhi Capitals are currently ranked bottom in the points standings, while Mumbai Indians are now ranked eighth as a result of their loss.
All of the game’s statistics are listed below:
The Mumbai Indians’ third-highest IPL total is 234/5. This season, as they were going for a record 277, they also recorded their greatest score of 246.
