Indian Premier League.
And Delhi finished on 4/257.
Mumbai fell short in the chase - 9/249. Jake was named POTM.
To demonstrate Jake's impact, before his debut, Delhi had lost 4 of their 5 matches and sat last on the table. He has played 5 matches since. Delhi has won 4. The loss was the failed chase after the Travis Head-led 266 by Hyderabad - and even in that, Jake made 65 from 18, batting at 3. He now has 247 runs at the strike rate of 237.5 - easily the best of any batsman who has made 100 runs in the competition this season. Delhi are now in 5th place. They have played more games than the teams above them but are now on the same points as 2nd through 4th and a genuine chance of finals.

"Captain Pat Cummins and Travis Head have again come up trumps in a thrilling final-ball win that's thrust Sunrisers Hyderabad into the playoff places in the Indian Premier League.
Head cracked his fourth half-century of his brilliant IPL campaign while Cummins came up with two big overs near the death to then help his side squeeze to the most dramatic of one-run wins over league leaders Rajasthan Royals on Thursday.
In front of their home fans, Hyderabad found a last-gasp hero in the shape of 34-year-old veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who trapped big-hitting Rovman Powell lbw last ball with the West Indian power hitter having needed just two to win."
