Sameer Rizvi’s brilliant knock of 90 runs off 51 balls propelled Delhi Capitals to a comfortable six-wicket win against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2026 match at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Rizvi’s innings included seven fours and as many sixes, helping Delhi chase down the target of 163 with 11 balls to spare.
Rizvi’s seven sixes set a record for the most hit by a Delhi Capitals player against Mumbai Indians in IPL history. His impactful performance, second only to Jos Buttler in a single IPL innings, turned the game in Delhi’s favor. Mumbai Indians, who posted 162/6, struggled with their spin bowling as Rizvi capitalized on the opportunity.
Delhi Capitals’ chase faced early setbacks with KL Rahul and Nitish Rana departing, but Pathum Nissanka’s aggressive batting and partnerships with Rizvi and David Miller steered the team towards victory. Rizvi’s explosive hitting, including a fifty off 31 balls and crucial boundaries, ensured Delhi’s win despite missing out on a century.
