Both teams won their first matches:
- Mumbai Indians: They started strong by successfully chasing a high score of 221 runs to beat the Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Delhi Capitals: They also won their first game against the Lucknow Super Giants, despite their early batters struggling at the start of the innings.
