First win for Mumbai Indians in IPL
Mumbai Indians registered their first win in the IPL today after losing their first two matches. Mumbai Indians have always been slow starters in the IPL, and they catch up later. With their first win, the campaign has officially started for Mumbai. MI will gain confidence from this win and hopefully win more matches to follow. They will be looking to win their sixth IPL title this season.
Four Straight Losses for Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals have had a horrific start to the IPL, losing their first four matches in a row. Things have not worked out for the Delhi Capitals. Only a few players are giving a decent performance for Delhi, such as Axar Patel and their captain David Warner, whereas others are playing below expectations. DC is certainly missing their former captain, Rishabh Pant, who is out because of injuries he suffered in an accident. He was an important part of the batting order as well, as he used to hold the team together.
IPL has produced some really close matches recently starting from Rinku’s 5 sixes to a last match finish in RCB’s match. Delhi vs Mumbai was no less a thriller, it went down to the last ball.
