At the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium against the Mumbai Indians, the hosts, Delhi Daredevils were expected to show up and repeat their impeccable displays from their previous game.
Rather, what happened turned out to be extremely shambolic, as the Daredevils surrendered meekly against the Mumbai Indians to hand the visitors an easy victory.
At first, it was the clueless Delhi bowlers who bore the brunt of a serious onslaught from the Mumbai batsmen, as they conceded 212 -3 in 20 overs. Barring returning skipper Zaheer Khan, everyone was taken to the cleaners. The batsmen then were made into a laughing stock, as the team just about managed to avoid the lowest total in IPL history.
All in all, the game has pretty much ended Delhi’s campaign for this IPL. Fans on Twitter trolled the Daredevils for such a lacklustre performance, and below are some of the tweets.

Pat Cummins in the power play!! You have to admit @mipaltan have raised the bar with their bowling.

Sadly for them @DelhiDaredevils are finding fielders everytime they hit in the air. Bit of a contrast this, to their last effort.
