Mumbai Indians proved once again what a strong lineup it is in the history of Indian Premier League. They have won the Qualifier 1 against Delhi Capitals by 57 runs. This massive win proves how dominating Mumbai is throughout the tournament. They are now into the finals of IPL 2020. Meanwhile, Delhi has to play one more knockout game to enter into the finals of this edition.

Shreyas Iyer won the toss and said that Delhi Capitals will bowl first. He got a stunning start as Rohit Sharma got out for a golden duck. However, that was the only positive for Delhi. Later, Surya Kumar Yadav (51) and Quinton de Kock (40) made a partnership of 62 runs for the second wicket. After they fell, Ishan Kishan (55*) went on a rampage on Delhi’s bowlers. Mumbai’s batsmen should be commended for hitting the Delhi bowlers all over the park on a slow wicket. By the end of 20 overs, Mumbai posted a total of 200 for the loss of five wickets. R Ashwin (3/29) took three wickets of Mumbai.

Delhi needed a good start from its batsmen to chase this total. However, Mumbai bowlers finished the game in the first two overs by getting Dhawan, Rahane and Shaw out for a duck. Delhi lost four wickets inside the powerplay. They were 41/5 inside 10 overs. When things went out of hand, Marcus Stoinis (65) and Axar Patel (42) played well and avoided an embarrassing loss for Delhi Capitals. In the end, Delhi was only able to make 143/8 in 20 overs. Jasprit Bumrah (4/14) and Trent Boult (2/9) broke the batting order of Delhi.
