Mumbai Indians clinched their first victory of IPL 2024

Mumbai Indians clinched their first victory of IPL 2024 with a convincing 29-run win over Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium. The hosts posted an imposing total of 234 runs, largely propelled by Romario Shepherd's explosive batting display in the final over, where he plundered 32 runs off Anrich Nortje. Mumbai's innings got off to a strong start, with 33 runs coming off the first three overs. Rohit Sharma's aggressive strokeplay, including consecutive sixes off Jhye Richardson, set the tone early on. Despite losing Rohit for 49 and Suryakumar Yadav for a duck, Mumbai continued to pile on the runs.

Delhi Capitals fought hard in the field, with Axar Patel's brilliance dismissing Ishan Kishan with a stunning catch off his own bowling. Khaleel Ahmed further dented Mumbai's progress by removing Tilak Varma. However, it was Shepherd's onslaught in the final over that proved decisive, propelling Mumbai to a formidable total.
