Mumbai Indians deny Delhi Capitals a playoff spot

The Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 5 wickets in the penultimate league round match of the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, securing the final playoff position for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

In the crucial encounter between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Saturday night, Rohit Sharma’s team won by five wickets, with Tim David scoring 34 runs off only 11 balls.
