Mumbai Indians and their woe with opening games in the Indian Premier League continued on Sunday as they lost to Delhi Capitals by 37 runs at the Wankhede Stadium. While chasing Delhi’s score of 213 was never going to be easy, the failure of the top-order to make it count only made it all the more difficult for the home team.
“The first game is always challenging for most of the teams because there are a lot of new players in the squad. We made a lot of mistakes today and that was the reason we lost the match,” skipper Rohit Sharma accepted.
