Delhi pacers have been pretty good and have only got hit when they have bowled poor deliveries. Khaleel Ahmed has picked up 2 wickets in his 3 overs and Delhi are firmly in the driver's seat at the moment. With that said, skipper Hardik Pandya walks out to bat now.

Suryakumar Yadav, the Impact Player for Mumbai is in at number 3 and he replaces Nuwan Thushara.

OUT! CAUGHT! Khaleel Ahmed draws first blood for Delhi and it is the dangerous 'Hitman,' Rohit Sharma who has to depart here.

FOUR! End of a long first over and eventually, 12 runs come off it. Fractionally short over middle, pulled away late and in front of square on the leg side for a couple of runs. Good signs from Lizaad Williams but a bit erratic as well. Oh, there is a late boundary check and it is confirmed that Khaleel Ahmed's foot touched the ropes before he released the ball and it will be four runs instead of two.

Khaleel Ahmed to bowl from the opposite end.

FIVE WIDES! Banged in a bit but angled down the leg side, Rohit Sharma misses the pull and the ball flies down to fine leg for a boundary.

Top delivery! Goes very quick again and gets in the yorker right at the base of middle stump. Rohit Sharma looks for the heave but is well beaten and gets struck on the pads.

Oh, what a ball! Spicy from Lizaad Williams as he digs in a quick bumper over leg stump, this one swings away after pitching and almost cleans up Rohit Sharma who somehow manages to get a top edge down to fine leg.

DROPPED! Nehal Wadhera puts down a chance in the deep and that is heartbreaking for the bowler. Full and wide again, Tristan Stubbs gets low and gets under the ball before swatting it away flat towards deep cover where Wadhera is a bit slow to come in and drops the catch.

Pant tries to take it on but can't quite get on top of the bounce and pulls it off the top edge down to fine leg where Rohit Sharma takes a safe catch. That's the 7th time Bumrah has dismissed Pant in the competition's history.

Axar Patel is the new batter for Delhi.

WIDE! Comes from around the stumps and looks for the yorker at the toes but spills it down leg for a wide.

FOUR! And again! Tristan Stubbs played 3 different shots in the over, in sets of two and got at least a four every time, unreal. Attempted bumper over the stumps, Stubbs gets on top of the bounce and slams the pull just in front of deep mid-wicket for four more runs. 26 off the over!

However, a blistering cameo from Shai Hope has kept Delhi hovering well above 12 runs per over and they will be eyeing something around 250 runs. Mumbai have a couple of overs of Jasprit Bumrah up their sleeve and it will be interesting to see how Delhi counter him. With that said, Bumrah does come back into the attack as Mumbai recognize that this is the vital pair for Delhi.

Toss Update - Mumbai have won the coin toss and opted to BOWL first.

Mumbai, on the flip side, have had a mixed-bag season so far. They have won just three games out of eight and are placed ninth in the table. In their last outing against Rajasthan, the visitors made 179 after batting first on the back of runs from Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera. The bowlers failed to contain the opposition and lost by 9 wickets. Only Piyush Chawla had a decent outing but the rest of the bowling unit failed to deliver. In the reverse fixture against these two sides, Mumbai came out on top and they will hope to repeat the performance. So can Mumbai climb up the table or will Delhi continue their good run? Let's find out. Toss and team news in a bit. Stay tuned!

Hello and a warm welcome to our coverage of Match 43 in the Indian T20 League. Delhi are hosting Mumbai at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Both sides are currently in the lower half of the table and will be vying for a win. The home side Delhi, have found some momentum in recent times as they have won three of their last 4 games and have started to look like a solid unit. The hosts faced Gujarat in their last game and posted a massive score of 224 with their skipper Rishabh Pant making an unbeaten 88 off just 43 while Axar Patel with 66(43), Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk also played their part. The Delhi bowlers were taken to the cleaners as well but they managed to take the win by just 4 runs in the end. Rasikh Dar and Kuldeep Yadav shared five wickets among them and were the pick of the bowlers. Delhi will hope to keep the winning run and add two more points to their tally. 

…MATCHDAY… 

As the Indian T20 League 2024 is approaching its decisive phase, all teams are battling for a coveted position in the top four. In Match 43, Delhi will host Mumbai at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi in their reverse fixture. Delhi, the home team, has leapfrogged from the bottom three to claim the sixth position in the standings after a dismal start to their campaign. This jump followed a famous victory over Gujarat, achieved by a narrow margin of just 4 runs. Delhi's batters have rediscovered their form and are displaying a notable sense of confidence. Even with David Warner's on-and-off appearances in the XI, Delhi has been holding up well, especially with the fresh opening duo of Prithvi Shaw and the Aussie standout, Jake Fraser-McGurk. Fraser-McGurk looks promising, effortlessly smashing the ball around the park. Fraser-McGurk's aggressive style at the start has definitely made life easier for the next batters. Delhi threw a curveball by sending Axar Patel in at number 3, but he totally nailed it, scoring a solid 66 off just 43 balls. It showed he's flexible enough to float around the order as needed. And Rishabh Pant? Man, what a comeback! After that nasty injury, he's been knocking it out of the park consistently. His recent 88 is proof that he's back in top form. Tristan Stubbs is really having the time of his life in this tournament. He's been the go-to guy for those game-changing final hits with the bat, and he's been doing it with some serious aggression. When it comes to bowling, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar have been absolute gems in terms of keeping things tight, especially in the tournament when life hasn't been certainly easy for the bowlers. Rasikh Dar has also joined the squad and has displayed some real promise with his bowling skills. While Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar have been taking wickets regularly, they along with Protea pace-battery Anrich Nortje will aim to keep things tight and stem the flow of runs from their end as well. Overall, Delhi seems to have found its perfect combination and with David Warner, this team possesses a serious firepower with ball and bat. Turning our attention to Mumbai, they've upheld their reputation as slow starters once again. However, the pressure is mounting on them now, especially after the humbling defeat to Rajasthan where they lost by 9 wickets. That loss must be really itching at them, and they're in dire need of grabbing those two crucial points to relieve some of the pressure. It's become quite evident that when Mumbai's openers fail to establish a strong partnership during the Powerplay, the entire batting order ends up needing to start from scratch. In a fast-paced tournament like this, there's hardly any time to settle in. Mumbai needs more from Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma upfront. In the last game, Nehal Wadhera and Tilak Varma provided a strong finish with the bat. Skipper Hardik Pandya's form has dipped dramatically, and except for Piyush Chawla, Mumbai's bowlers were ineffective in the previous game. Jasprit Bumrah of course, has been extremely reliable, but he needs support. Overall, Mumbai needs to elevate its game plan across the board to secure a victory. Delhi has a golden opportunity to take advantage of home conditions and avenge their previous defeat against this very opposition earlier this season, but surely, Mumbai is not going to make life easier for them at all, as we all have seen over the years, that a wounded Mumbai is much more lethal. Who do you think will win?
