DC Vs MI, IPL 2026: First Match Review

Both teams started their tournament with a win in the opening matches. While Delhi Capitals (DC) routed Lucknow Super Giants by 6 wickets, Mumbai Indians (MI) edged Kolkata Knight Riders out by the same 6 wickets.

MI enter the contest with a power-packed line-up and are being touted as one of the favourites to win the tournament. They played up to the expectations in the first match and made short work of the mammoth 221-run target posted by KKR on the back of a scintillating opening stand by Ryan Rickelton (81) and Rohit Sharma (78).

While MI's bowling struggled a bit on a true Mumbai pitch, Jasprit Bumrah made the difference with the ball and restricted KKR 15-20 short of where they must be aiming at.

On the other hand, Delhi had an excellent game against LSG with the ball, bundling them for just 141. Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan chipped in with 3 wickets each to skittle LSG's strong batting line-up.

However, it was DC's batting that showed some chinks in their armour as they were once tottering at 26/4 in a 142-run chase. It took a 47-ball 70 by young Sameer Rizvi, who forged an unbeaten 119-run stand with Tristan Stubbs to take Delhi home by 6 wickets.
