IPL 2024: Fifties By Shaw, Stubbs In Vain As MI Beat DC By 29 Runs
Indian Premier League: Half-centuries by Prithvi Shaw and Tristan Stubbs went in vain as Mumbai Indians rode on a Gerald Coetzee's four-fer to hand Delhi Capitals a 29-run defeat and earned their first points in Indian Premier League 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium, here on Sunday.
It was Super Sunday all the way for the 18,000-odd children from local NGOs that were invited by Mumbai Indians to watch the match as part of their Education and Sports for All (ESA) Day as they witnessed some brilliant power-hitting by players from both teams.
On a pitch that was good for batting, Shaw hammered a 40-ball 66 while Stubbes blasted a 19-ball half-century on his way to a 25-ball 71. But their efforts proved futile as the score of 234/5 posted by Mumbai Indians on the back of a 10-ball unbeaten 39 by Romario Shepherd and blazing 40s by Rohit Sharma (49), Ishan Kishan (42) and Tim David (49) proved beyond reach as they ended their innings at 205/8 in 20 overs.
