Mumbai Indians (MI) have been class apart, to say the least, and almost each of their players have been contributed to wins this season. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have played some excellent cricket and have made it to the final after defeating the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

The team led by Shreyas Iyer lost its steam in the second half of the league stage. But they have managed to up their game in two of the last three matches. Having said that, DC have lost all three matches against MI this season pretty comprehensively and the first qualifier was also an aberration where they lost their three wickets with no runs on the board chasing a big total.
