‘It’s moments like this you wait for:’ Cameron Green elated after Mumbai Indians’ first win of IPL 2023

Mumbai Indians, the five-time champions of the Indian Premier League, finally got their campaign rolling with a hard-fought six-wicket win over the Delhi Capitals in the 16th match of IPL 2023 held in Delhi. The victory was a significant one for MI, who had finished last on the points table in the previous season and started this year’s edition with two back-to-back losses. The win would have given them a much-needed boost and the confidence to make a comeback in the tournament.

The match against DC was a thrilling encounter, which saw the game go down to the wire. MI needed two runs off the last ball, and Cameron Green and Tim David held their nerves to take their team over the line. Green was unbeaten on 17 off eight balls, which included a six and a four. After the match, Green expressed his delight in helping his team win and hoped that the victory would kickstart their campaign.

“I didn’t wanna cramp (while running in the last ball), took the helmet off and I knew there were two there, and thankfully it came off. The conversation (when I went to bat) was to hit 2-3 boundaries, and thankfully it came off. There was definitely pressure there, but it was so much fun, to get ten an over. I mean, it’s moments like these that you wait for, hopefully, this (win) will kickstart our campaign,” said Green.

The win was crucial for MI, who had a tough start to the tournament, losing their first two matches. However, they managed to bounce back in style against a strong DC side, who posted a challenging total of 173 runs. Rohit Sharma led the way for MI, scoring 65 off 45 balls. Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma played crucial knocks, scoring 31 off 26 balls and 41 off 29 balls, respectively, to help MI chase down the target.

The victory was a team effort, with all the players contributing in some way or the other. It was a much-needed win for MI, who had struggled to find their rhythm in the tournament. The win against DC would have given them the confidence to take on any team in the tournament and make a strong comeback.

In conclusion, Mumbai Indians’ victory over Delhi Capitals was a much-needed one for the five-time champions, who had started the tournament poorly. Cameron Green’s unbeaten knock played a crucial role in helping MI win the match and kickstart their campaign. The victory would have given the team a much-needed boost, and they would look to build on this momentum in the rest of the tournament.
