Daniel Sams walks in. 5 runs off 7 ball.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Short of a length and on middle. Varma leans back and tries to steer it away but the ball was too close to hit that shot. It goes off the faint edge and to Pant who appeals. The umpire takes his time before raising his finger.

Review taken! Delhi take a review for LBW. Looks like pitching outside leg and Ball Tracking confirms the same. A poor review and not out it is.

Drinks! 65 runs needed in 33 balls. With big hitters next to come, Mumbai should take this game deep and will hope to get over the line. Delhi have been good so far but need to continue the good work. An exciting finish awaits. Also, Tim David walks out now.

OUT! TIMBER! The well-set Brevis is out of here now! He does not make most of the life and Delhi now in a strong, strong position. 65 needed in 33. A slower one, well outside off, holds in the surface too. Brevis swings, he gets an inside edge and it shatters the stumps.

Pant runs and looks to take it but spills it.

Varma is off the mark! A full one on middle, this is hit down to long on for one.

Tilak Varma is the new man in.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Pant walks back! Ramandeep Singh went for 19 but he gets the huge, huge wicket of Pant and this could well make a difference of 15 runs to the final total. Not sure why Pant wanted to play at that one! He was actually in two minds. This is yet again well, well wide outside off. Pant looks to go after it but then tries to bail out, too late as it goes off the edge and to Kishan. Pant is disgusted as he walks back but that was a poor shot. 19 from the over but a huge wicket and a timely one as the momentum just seemed to be shifting.

Good stop by Sams! Shorter and on middle, this is hammered out towards deep square leg. Sams runs to his right and pushes it back in. Just the one.

Drinks! The stand between Pant and Powell crosses the 50-run mark and with just five overs remaining, Powell should unleash himself and score at a quick rate.

Really well bowled again! This is tossed up on off, Powell lunges and keeps it out well.

Pushes it through and lands it on middle, blocked.

Fires it on off, Shaw works it through mid-wicket for one.

Flatter and on off, defended.

FOUR! Smacked! It made a cracking sound of the bat! This is tossed up outside off, Shaw sweeps it hard through square leg for a boundary. A good start to this over and now pressure on the batter.

A quick run to end! On middle, Shaw pushes it towards mid on and takes one.

That went through nicely! Shorter and on middle, Shaw looks to upper cut it but misses. Kishan leaps and takes it well above his head.

On the fuller side, Shaw shows the full face of the bat and times it well but to mid off.

Angled into the pads, Pant is off the mark as he works it through square leg for one. He needs to pay a good knock here. He is due and what better occasion than this one.

Rishabh Pant walks out to the middle.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Bumrah strikes in his first over! The dangerous Marsh is out of here now! Delhi in deep, deep trouble in this must-win game. This is a beauty of a nut. It is a length ball, it lands on off and then moves away. Marsh pushes at it with hard hands. It goes off the outside edge low to the right of Sharma at first slip. He takes a good catch just above the ground.

On middle, this is pushed towards mid off for one.

Mitchell Marsh is the new man in. Also, Jasprit Bumrah is into the attack.

OUT! TAKEN! Warner goes for a low score, yet again! Sams is over the moon! This is a huge breakthrough. A length ball outside off, Warner slashes at it, once again there is tennis ball like bounce. It goes off the top edge and straight to Bumrah at short third man. Easy catch. Not the best of starts for Delhi.

Another run! On middle, Shaw now works it through mid-wicket and gets to the other end.

A loud appeal from Rohit but nothing! Angled into the pads, Warner looks to play the sweep shot, he misses to get hit on the pads. It rolls towards square leg. A huge appeal but turned down. The fielder at short fine leg misfields and a run is taken.

Good sensible batting! Now takes one as he works it through mid-wicket.

SIX! Over the fence! What a shot that is! Fuller, Shaw makes room. It is a slower one. Shaw waits and then lofts it over the long off fence for a biggie.

Fuller and on middle, Shaw strokes it back to the bowler. Once again, this goes more off the bottom. The wicket already seems slow.

A little bit of turn there! On middle, this lands and spins away. Defended.

FOUR! Up and over! First boundary for Warner! This one is a little too full, on middle, he lifts it down the ground, and into the long on fence. Good start for the two batters.

Fires it on middle, defended.

Quicker and on middle, Shaw stays back and flicks it through mid-wicket for one.

Flatter and on off, Shaw works it to mid-wicket.

A full toss on off, Warner hits it down to long off for one.

Who will bowl from the other end? It is Hrithik Shokeen.

Two more! Short again and on middle, Shaw pulls it hard through mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep gets around and keeps it down to two. 6 from the first over then, a good one for Delhi.

FOUR! Whacked away! Shaw and Delhi are underway in style! Short and on middle, Shaw pulls it through mid-wicket, not off the middle but gets it past mid-wicket and this one races away to the fence.

That came quite slow off the surface! Short and on the body, Shaw ducks under it. Tennis-ball like bounce on this one, lands in just front of Kishan who does not stop it cleanly. No run taken.

Make that three dots in a row! On middle, length, Shaw plays it back to Sams. Good start by Sams who has become better with each passing game.

That was loose! That is how he plays though! This is well wide outside off, Shaw reaches out for it but is beaten. His feet just did not move there.

Starts off with a back of a length ball on off, Shaw pushes it to mid off.

We are all set for the action. The Mumbai players are out in the middle. David Warner has his old partner in Prithvi Shaw back. Daniel Sams to start for Mumbai. Wankhede is roaring as we are all set to start. Here we go...

There was a slight drizzle but was a passing shower and right now, the rain has stopped. The covers are off as well.

Delhi (Playing XI) - David Warner, Prithvi Shaw (In for Lalit Yadav), Sarfaraz Khan, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (C/WK), Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Dewald Brevis (In for Tristan Stubbs), Tilak Varma, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Ramandeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mayank Markande, Riley Meredith, Hrithik Shokeen (In for Sanjay Yadav).

Rishabh Pant, the skipper of Delhi says they would have liked to bowl first too. Adds they’ll now try to give their 100 percent. Informs there is one change as SHAW COMES IN FOR LALIT!

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says it is a good track and they have been doing it well and there is rain around. Mentions it all depends on how they start and how much they restrict them to and then bat freely. States they were inconsistent throughout the season and that has been the constant talk in the group and there will be a few eyes on them and they want to give it their best. Adds they have tried a few things keeping one eye on the future but they still want to win games as that is what will give them confidence. Informs they have two changes Brevis and Shokeen come in for Stubbs and Sanjay Yadav.

TOSS - Mumbai have won the toss and will BOWL first!

Pitch Report - Danny Morrison is near the pitch, he says the boundaries are even as they are using the middle pitch. Adds that red soil will offer bounce and spinners will enjoy it as well. Tells that there is a little bit of live grass on it, but it's about getting the lengths right. Mentions the pace bowlers have to bowl at a Test match lengths and feels, the wrists spinners will come into play.

Delhi, with a win in their last game, managed to win two games in a row for the first time this season. However, they need to make it three in a row. The good thing for them is, Mumbai aren’t in the best of forms this season which probably means Delhi are favourites heading into this game. Mumbai however, can never be ruled out. Prithvi Shaw's availability is still a concern for Delhi while Mumbai will look to rest some big names and try out few more youngsters. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

Welcome to the coverage of probably the biggest game of the group stage! The one which will decide who finishes 4th. A win for Delhi will mean it is them who will go through whereas a loss for them will see Bangalore to the playoffs. For Mumbai, it’s all about pride. A win for them will change nothing on the table, they though have a chance to spoil Delhi’s party and they would love to do so. All to play for Delhi and we expect a cracker of a game.

... MATCH DAY...
