Sameer Rizvi played a spectacular unbeaten 90 off 51 balls to guide the Delhi Capitals to a convincing six‑wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Chasing a competitive total of 163 set by Mumbai, DC found themselves in a tricky situation after early wickets, but Rizvi’s knock shifted the momentum decisively in his team’s favour. His innings featured a dominant display of timing and power, including seven fours and seven sixes, as he negotiated the challenging pitch with both patience and aggression.
Coming in at a tense moment, Rizvi built crucial partnerships — most notably a 66‑run stand with Pathum Nissanka — and kept the required run rate under control. His ability to accelerate the scoring, especially in the middle overs, eased pressure on his teammates and ensured DC completed the chase with 11 balls to spare. This innings not only marked one of his best performances of the season but also underlined his growing importance as a match‑winner for the Capitals, helping them start IPL 2026 with back‑to‑back wins and climb the points table early.
