NEW DELHI, April 4, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Inform batter Sameer Rizvi hit an 
attacking 90 to steer Delhi Capitals to a second successive win this IPL 
season as they beat Mumbai Indians by six wickets on Saturday.

Chasing 163 for victory, Delhi rode on Rizvi's 51-ball knock laced with seven 
fours and seven sixes to achieve the target with 11 balls to spare at their 
home Arun Jaitley Stadium.

It was 22-year-old Rizvi's third successive half-century in the T20 
tournament after his unbeaten 70 in the opener and a fifty to close last 
year's IPL.

Punjab Kings, who also have two wins in two matches.

Pathum Nissanka, who made 44, put on a 66-run stand with the swashbuckling 
Rizvi.

substitute in the chase, stood firm and put on another key stand of 78 with 
David Miller, who hit the winning four in his unbeaten 21.

Corbin Bosch, with the batter walking back to a thunderous applause from the 
home crowd.

Five-time winners Mumbai, who were without skipper Hardik Pandya who was ill, 
lost the toss and were put into bat, posting 162-6 with stand-in-skipper 
Suryakumar Yadav top-scoring with 51.

strikes in one over including opener Ryan Rickelton for nine and Tilak Varma 
for a duck.

Rohit Sharma made 35 but it was India's T20 World Cup-winning captain 
Suryakumar and Naman Dhir (28) who enabled Mumbai to post a deent total.
