Mumbai Indians' bowlers stunned Delhi Daredevils while responding to a below-par score of 142-8 by reducing the visitors to 24 for six when reports last came in, at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Mumbai Indians hit back through their paceman Mitchell McClenaghan who sent back Sanju Samson (9), Shreyas Iyer (6) and Corey Anderson (0) before Jasprit Bumrah sent Rishabh Pant back for a duck -- caught by Harbhajan Singh at first slip. Hardik Pandya then demolished Karun Nair's furniture and the Karnataka batsman was on his way with only five against his name.

Earlier, Delhi Daredevils' Pat Cummins (2-20), Kagiso Rabada (1-30), Chris Morris (0-33) and leg-spinner Amit Mishra (2-18) restricted Mumbai Indians to 142 for eight despite openers Parthiv Patel and Jos Buttler putting on 37.

IPL debutant Rabada needed only six balls to claim his first wicket when he sent back Parthiv (8 off 11 balls) with a perfect yorker. Mumbai's in-form batsman Nitish Rana (8) also failed when his attempted pull a short delivery from Cummins ended in the hands of New Zealander Anderson at deep mid-wicket.
