New Delhi: Sameer Rizvi hit a sensational 51-ball 90 to lead Delhi Capitals to an easy six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match Saturday.
Mumbai Indians could manage only 162 for six as they could not build partnerships. Only Rohit Sharma (35) and Suryakumar contributed from the top and middle order. Naman Dhir made 28.
Capitals’ Mukesh Kumar (2/26) did well by rattling the Mumbai top-order.
Chasing 163, the hosts overcame early jitters to romp home in 18.1 overs. Opener Pathum Nissanka contributed a quick-fire 44 after DC lost KL Rahul (1) and Nitish Rana (0) cheaply.
Rizvi hit seven sixes and as many fours in his 51-ball knock.
