MI hand DC embarrassing defeat to make IPL 2020 final.

Jasprit Bumrah’s best bowling figures this season and an all-round batting performance helped the Mumbai Indians progress into the IPL 2020 final. They beat the Delhi Capitals by 57 runs in Qualifier 1 at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday.

After Shreyas Iyer opted to field first, Ravichandran Ashwin gave DC the perfect start by dismissing MI skipper Rohit Sharma in just the 2nd over with 16 runs on the board.

What followed was absolute carnage as Ishan Kishan (55 not out off 30) and Hardik Pandya (37 off 14) stitched together 60 runs off just 23 balls to propel MI to 200 for 5.

In reply, DC got off to the worst possible start as they were blown away by Trent Boult (2 for 9) and Jasprit Bumrah to be precariously placed on 0 for 3.
