IPL 2018: Jason Roy leads Delhi Daredevils to first win this season

Mumbai Indians crashed to their third straight defeat this season as they lost by 7 wickets against Delhi Daredevils at the Wankhede stadium on Saturday.

Jason Roy starred with the bat for the Daredevils as they chased down a mammoth target of 195 to stun MI fans.

Roy remained unbeaten on 91 from just 53 balls with 6 sixes and as many boundaries. He was ably supported by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who made a quickfire 47 off 25 balls with 6 fours and a couple of towering sixes. The duo shared a crucial 69-run stand for the second wicket before the latter got out.

But Roy carried on attacking the Mumbai bowlers and stitched an unbeaten 60-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer to ensure Delhi's first win of the season. Iyer remained not out on 27 off 20 balls.

11 runs were needed off the last over which was bowled by Mustafizur Rahman but he was no match for Roy who smashed the runs all by himself.

For Mumbai, Krunal Pandya picked up 2 wickets while Mustafizur Rahman got one.
