Mumbai Indians proved their worth once again, booked their place in the Indian Premier League 2020 final where they face Delhi Capitals.
With this win, Mumbai added a fifth IPL title to their kitty, more than any other team in the 13-year history of the league. Chasing 157 to win, Mumbai got 33 off the first three overs as Quinton de Kock tore into the Delhi bowlers.
MI took the big prize without much fuss, reaching a 157-run target with eight balls to spare. Skipper Rohit Sharma (68, 51b, 5×4, 4×6), not in the best form this season, saved his best for last.
Standing at the pole position with 670 runs Kings skipper KL Rahul of Kings XI Punjab finished top in the run race to win the Orange Cap.
Delhi Capitals’ Kagiso Rabada won the Purple Cap after finishing at the top of the table with a total of 30 wickets at the end of IPL 2020.
Mumbai Indians have earlier won the IPL trophy in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019. The only time they did not win the title after reaching the finale was in 2010 when they lost to Chennai Super Kings.
This was the first final match for DC in history. They defeated Sunriser Hyderabad by 17 runs in Qualifier 2 on Sunday to qualify for the final.
