The Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Mumbai Indians suffered the second defeat with another poor performance in the middle overs on Tuesday.
Mumbai opted to bat first in Tuesday's game against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The team had reached 67-1 in the seventh over but ended up with 137-9 from their 20 overs. Indians captain Rohit Sharma called his team's batsmen to step up after the show.
Although Mumbai had managed to defend low totals in their previous two matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, the team failed to do so on Tuesday as Delhi clinched a six-wicket victory.
Delhi Capitals' leg-spinner Amit Mishra did the damage with 4-24, including the wickets of Rohit and hard-hitting middle order batsmen Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard, on Tuesday.
Mumbai team captain Rohit scored 44 and added 58 for the second wicket with Suryakumar Yadav.
Previously, Mumbai had bundled out for 152 against Kolkata knight Riders, while they got 150-5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
