Fraser-McGurk blazed away to a 25-ball 84 before being dismissed by Piyush Chawla, caught in the deep while trying to clear the fence.
Shai Hope sustained the momentum given by Fraser-McGurk's brutal onslaught and hammered 41 off just 17 balls with five sixes, while Tristan Stubbs chipped in with an unbeaten 48 off 25 balls.
For MI, Tilak Varma smashed 63 in 32 balls, Hardik Pandya made 46 off 24 balls, and Tim David 37 off just 17 deliveries as the visitors came close after slipping to 65/3 in six overs. Tilak's gritty knock and David's late heroics went into vain as MI failed to cross the line.
Rasikh Dar Salam and Mukesh Kumar registered three wickets each to their names. Rasikh's two wickets of Hardik Pandya and Nehal Wadhera in a single over turned the match in DC's favour.

Delhi Capitals: 257/4 in 20 overs (Jake Fraser-McGurk 84, Shai Hope 41, Tristan Stubbs 48 not out).
