Tim Seifert

In the ongoing match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, MI scored 177 runs by losing 5 wickets.

Kieron Pollard could have been the game-changer. He just scored 3 runs off 6 balls when in first ball of the 5th ball of the 15th over, DC’s spinner Kuldeep Yadav sent Kieron Pollard back to the pavilion. Kieron Pollard hit the ball hard and flat and Tim Seifert, who was standing inside the ring at the mid-wicket, dived to the left and brilliantly caught the ball out of thin air.

He hammered a massive 81 runs off 48 deliveries by hitting 11 fours and two sixes. His impressive strike rate read 168.75. Mumbai scored 59 runs in the final overs with the help of Ishan Kishan. If he faced more balls, he might have ended up with a century as well.

As no dew factor could be seen on the ground, MI, with their superb bowling attack from players like Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, and Kieron Pollard, will feel confident to defend the score of 177 runs.
