IPL 2021: Shreyas Iyer leads DC to 4-wicket win over MI after Avesh Khan, Axar Patel heroics with ball

IPL 2021: Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin's calm 39-run stand helped DC chase down a target of 130 with five balls to spare after Avesh Khan and Axar Patel led the way in restricting MI to 129/8 with three wickets each.

Ravichandran Ashwin hit a six off the first ball of the last over to help Delhi Capitals (DC) take an attritional four-wicket win against defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in Sharjah on Saturday in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Shreyas Iyer was unbeaten on 33 at the other end as the pair's calm 39-run stand helped them chase down a low target of 130 with five balls to spare after DC lost their top order in the powerplay.

Unusually, it was a run out that got MI their first wicket with Kieron Pollard managing a direct hit after Shikhar Dhawan took off for a quick single.
