Delhi capitals beat Mumbai Indians by six wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday. The Delhi-based franchise, which lost to the Mumbai Indians in last year’s title clash, emerged victorious after a convincing performance. The online betting India sites must have been in pandemonium watching the Delhi Capitals bowlers, led by leg spinner Amit Mishra, bowled superbly to limit the defending champions to 137 for nine in 20 overs. The Mumbai Indians, who had won their previous two matches at the same venue defending low totals, fell this time around as the Delhi capitals, on Shikhar Dhawan’s 45-point stroke, chased the total with five balls to lose.
