Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by six wickets in a last-ball Indian Premier League (IPL) thriller to register their first win of the season.

They chased down the target of 173 with captain Rohit Sharma top-scoring with 65 from 45 balls.

With Cameron Green (17 not out off 8) and Tim David (13 not out off 11) in the middle, Mumbai needed five runs off the last over but Anrich Nortje bowled brilliantly to take the game down to the last ball.

David got the required two off the final ball for the win.

Earlier, David Warner struck 51 off 47 balls before Axar Patel contributed 54 off 25 to push Delhi Capitals to a competitive 172 after Mumbai put the hosts in to bat.

Veteran spinner Piyush Chawla (3-22) and pacer Jason Behrendorff (3-23) took three wickets each for Mumbai.

It was a much needed victory for Mumbai after back-to-back defeats, while Delhi suffered their fourth loss in as many games.
