Last IPL meeting
The two teams, who were last year’s finalists , battled it out at the Dubai international Cricket Stadium on November 10, where MI (157/5 in 18.4 overs) beat Delhi (156/7 in 20 overs) by five wickets to clinch its record fifth IPL title .
It was an all-round performance by Mumbai. Rohit Sharma’s stellar captaincy along with Boult’s magnificent performance with the ball, where he picked three wickets, helped Mumbai to restrict Delhi to156 despite half-centuries from Rishabh Pant (56) and then skipper Shreyas Iyer (65*).
In reply, Mumbai was off to a flying start. Rohit completed 4000 runs IPL runs for the champion team and scored a brilliant half-century. Despite Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada picking three wickets, Ishan Kishan comfortably steered Mumbai to its fifth IPL title with eight balls to spare.
In Qualifier 1 held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on November 5, DC was outclassed by the sheer batting strength exhibited by the five-time champion . MI (200/5 in 20 overs) beat DC (143/8 in 20 overs) by 57 runs.
In an exquisite batting display where Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan scored half-centuries, Pandya’s unbeaten 37 including a flurry of sixes demoralised the opposition.
Chasing a mammoth target of 201, DC had to dish out an equally impressive display with the bat but Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult had other ideas. Bumrah (4/9) and Boult (2/9), along with Krunal Pandya and Kieron Pollard dismantled the Delhi side and restricted it to just 143 runs at the end of 20 overs.
1st leg result: MI (111/1 in 14.2 overs) beat DC (110/9 in 20 overs) by 9 wickets
2nd leg result: MI (166/5 in 19.4 overs) beat DC (162/4 in 20 overs) by five wickets.
