Live Photo Blog: Mumbai v Delhi, Match 19|Cricket
Bad day at the office for Mumbai batsmen. They have been rolled over for 92 runs in 19.2 overs--this is their lowest-ever score in IPL. Fantastic bowling display from Delhi. All bowlers, apart from Irfan, have picked up two wickets each. Mumbai never looked comfortable once they lost two early wickets to Nadeem. After the spinner's stellar display, the pacers took over and cleaned up the Mumbai line-up. Remember, no Malinga for Mumbai, so the task becomes much more tougher for the hosts.
Earlier, Ajit Agarkar finished off the Delhi innings on the second ball of the final over. It was a yorker which clattered into Ojha's stumps. Skipper Harbhajan fell for 33 to Morkel. And his knock remained the top-score in the batting card. It was a brave knock from Bhajji. He played some tremendous shots--the last of which was slapped to mid-wicket, it was beautifully timed.
Time to hand the blog to my colleague Skandan Sampath, who is a true Mumbai fan. I am sure he must be crushed after a disappointing batting display.
