MI 187-5 (16 ovs) vs Delhi 257-4 | Scorecard

Varma reverse sweeps the fifth ball for a four past point and hammers the last ball over long-off for a six to get 21 from the 15th over.

MI need 85 from the last five overs as the asking rate goes up to 17.

Pacer Lizaad Williams is back into the attack. David picks a single before Varma is hurried into the pull shot as the ball goes fine off the gloves for a four through fine leg.

Varma races to his fifty from just 25 balls as his counter-attack keeps MI's hopes alive in the run chase.

Williams bowls a wide down the leg side as Pant fails to gather cleanly to concede another extra run.

David swings hard but only for a single to long-on and Varma digs out the yorker to deep square leg for another run.

David slams the fifth ball over the covers for a four and takes one off the last ball to get 14 from the over.
