Delhi Dilwale stand out in 1st Game Set, They win there 1st 2 games and they are Leading Team of Indian Edition so far... Delhi Dilwale and Magnificent Mumbai faced 2 times in this game set and both matches ended as Heart Breaker for Home Fans... Both time Home team come close to the Target but they fell short in last few balls...
