Pant misses crucial review
DC, who needed a win to go through, were left heart-broken and rueing a massive missed opportunity to get Singaporean David off the first ball he faced, when their captain Rishabh Pant refused to review a nick behind the stumps off Shardul Thakur.
In 2018, it was DC who had denied MI a playoff qualification. On Saturday, MI returned the favour. At 95/3 in the 15th over, MI looked to be heading for another defeat before David added 50 for the fourth wicket in just 20 balls with Tilak Varma.

Bumrah stamps authority

Earlier, staging a fightback after being reduced to 55/4 in the ninth over, DC finished at 159/7 as Rovman Powell (43; 34b, 1×4, 6×4) and Pant added 75 in 44 balls for the fifth wicket.
The man who captured the evening, however, was Jasprit Bumrah. The world’s No. 1 T20 bowler stamped his authority with his opening blows, having Mitchell Marsh caught by Rohit at lone slip and then firing a 90mph bouncer at Prithvi Shaw, who gloved the ball while trying to ramp it. Bumrah later castled Powell with a beast of a yorker.
