Mumbai and Delhi locked horns in Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2020 Playoffs in Dubai on Thursday, November 5. The Mumbai-based side handed the Delhi-based side a 57-run thumping to advance to the final. Batting first, MI lost skipper Rohit Sharma for a duck but Quinton de Kock (40) and Suryakumar Yadav (51) forged a 62-run partnership for the second wicket to bring their side back on track.
The finishing touches were provided by explosive innings from Ishan Kishan (55 not out) and Hardik Pandya (37 not out) as Mumbai posted a mammoth first innings total. In reponse, DC was reduced to 0/3 after both the opener, Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan, along with Ajinkya Rahane were dismissed for zero. Marcus Stoinis (65) and Axar Patel (42) provided some resitance to a fierce Mumbai bowling attack. However, courtesy four wickets from Jasprit Bumrah and two from Trent Boult, the Shreyas Iyer-led side eventually fell well short of the target.
