Tough outing for Hardik Pandya against DC

The Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was taken to the cleaners by the DC opener Jake Fraser-McGurk on Saturday. The young Aussie batter tore into Hardik and played some sizzling shots, sending the balls sailing into the stands with relative ease. As a result, Hardik's spell with the ball was limited to just two overs and he conceded 41 runs in the 12 balls he dished out on Saturday.

With the bat, Hardik has managed to score 151 runs across eight innings, maintaining a strike rate of 142.45. As a bowler, the right-arm pacer has claimed only four wickets in nine matches, with an economy rate of 11.95.

Fraser-McGurk was dismissed after scoring 84 runs off 27 balls with the help of 11 fours and 6 sixes.

Tristan Stubbs launched a late assault on MI and propelled DC's score to 257/4 in 20 overs. Stubbs remained unbeaten on 48 runs off 25 balls.
