It was Romario Shepherd’s 39 not out off 10 balls that became the difference with 32 coming in the 20th over bowled by Anrich Nortje that took MI to an unassailable 234 for 5. 

In reply, Tristan Stubbs’s valiant 71 not out off 25 balls could only take DC to 205 for 8. 

This was DC’s fourth loss in five games and they have now slumped to last place among 10 teams.
