IPL 2020 final preview

After 59 encounters, Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 found the two finalists: Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC). The top two teams of the tournament will be up against each other for the fourth time this season. Interestingly, Mumbai emerged victorious at all the three previous clashes that took place between both the sides in this edition.

Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will lock horns on November 10 (Tuesday) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. The game will kickstart from its usual timings, 7:30 PM (IST) onwards.

Mumbai Indians (MI)

MI Players

Without any surprises, Mumbai Indians reached yet another IPL finals. The four-time IPL champions looked like one of the most dangerous teams even before the start of the tournament. As a result, MI comfortably qualified for the finals after beating the Capitals in qualifier 1.

Trent Boult got injured during the last game and may miss out on playing this all-important clash. But defending champions MI has the experience to put up a fighting performance in the knockout matches like this.

Delhi Capitals (DC)

Delhi Capitals

Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi Capitals reached the finals for the first time in the IPL history. After losing a one-sided game against Mumbai Indians in the first qualifier, DC bounced back to register a thumping victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in qualifier two. 

Delhi has a comparatively younger side and will be under pressure against the MI Paltan. DC made several tactical changes in their previous clash, and it would be interesting to see if they continue with them in the ultimate game of the tournament as well.
