Leg-spinner Karn Sharma turned the tide in Mumbai Indians’ favour with figures of 3-36 as the five-time champions beat Delhi Capitals by 12 runs in an IPL match here on Sunday.

Chasing 206, Impact Player Karun Nair (89 off 40 balls), making his IPL comeback after three years, provided DC with a flying start. At 119-1 in 10.1 overs, the hosts looked all set to register their fifth straight victory, but Karn applied the breaks on DC’s run-chase. The hosts were soon reduced to 160-6 in 15.3 overs. Spinner Mitchell Santner (2-43) claimed two wickets as MI bowled out DC for 193 to fight back and end their two-match losing streak and move up to seventh in the points table with two wins from six matches.
