Dubai:Defending champions Mumbai Indians thrashed Delhi Capitals by 57 runs in IPL Qualifier 1 to reach the final of the IPL 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, here on Thursday.
Mumbai Indians, batting first, posted a huge total of 200/5 in 20 overs courtesy superb fifties by Suryakumar Yadav (51 off 38) and Ishan Kishan (55 not out off 30). Hardik Pandya also played a quick-fire cameo towards the end and remained unbeaten on 37 off 14 balls.
Ravi Ashwin was the most successful bowler for Delhi Capitals, with bowling figures of 3/29. In reply, DC crumbled under the score-board pressure and failed to get past the target, as they could only score 143/8 in 20 overs.
