In pursuit of a daunting target of 235 runs set by the Mumbai Indians, the visiting team faced an early setback as their key opener David Warner was dismissed in the fourth over.
Despite this, Prithvi Shaw and Abhishek Porel steadied the innings, guiding the Capitals to 46/1 by the end of the powerplay.
Shaw demonstrated his batting prowess, accelerating the score to 94/1 in 10 overs with a scintillating fifty off just 31 balls. However, Shaw’s impressive innings was abruptly halted when Jasprit Bumrah took charge of the bowling attack.
In the final delivery of the 12th over, Bumrah unleashed a pinpoint yorker aimed directly at the leg stump. The ball, resembling a speeding bullet, sliced through the air with remarkable precision, leaving Shaw helpless as it crashed into the leg stump, uprooting it in the process.
