Later Krunal Pandya’s attacking game play created quite a few problems for the Zaheer Khan led Delhi bowling line up. He was however unfortunately run out by the DD captain for 36 runs of just 17 deliveries.

Things here became a little difficult for Mumbai as the required run rate peeped up to around 13 runs per over.

With 21 required of the last over, Rohit Sharma started the over with a bang, but a horrible mix up and a mid pitch collusion resulted in a unfortunate run out for the skipper and thus ending all hopes for Mumbai. Harbhajan Singh who came in next, was also dismissed for a duck.
