Cricket News: IPL 2020 - Mumbai drub Delhi by 57 runs to enter final

Mumbai outplayed Delhi in all 3 departments of the game beating them by 57 runs in qualifier-1 in Dubai to enter the final of IPL 2020. Put into bat Mumbai lost skipper Rohit Sharma for a golden duck as Ravichandran Ashwin sent him back packing. Quinton de Kock then forged a 62-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav. In-form Ishan Kishan then cut loose and started dictating terms to the opposition. Ishan's unbeaten 55-run knock off 30 balls was laced with four boundaries and three sixes. Ishan and Hardik Panndya changed gears taking Delhi bowlers to cleaners towards the 'death' overs as Mumbai comfortably completed at 200/5. Hardik Pandya hit five sixes in his unbeaten 37 off 14 balls. Chasing a massive 201, Delhi endured their worst start of the season losing their first three wickets without troubling the scorers. Trent Boult dismissed Prithvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane in the very first over and Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed by Jasrpit Bumrah who wreaked havoc with the ball picking up 4 wickets. Axar Patel and Marcus Stoinis showed some resistance in the middle as they tried to rebuild after the early damages but Delhi fell short by 57 runs. With this win Mumbai enters the final of IPL 2020 and will be eyeing their 5th title while Delhi still have a chance to qualify for the final as they will now face the winner of the Eliminator match between Hyderabad and Bangalore.
