Dream11 IPL 2020 Playoffs: Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians- Catch the Exciting Qualifier-1 Live

What a riveting season this is… Dream11 IPL 2020 arrived at a fantastic time and gave us all sports enthusiasts a much-needed break from the disastrous routine of 2020. After watching matches that took unexpected twists & turns, made us grab the hand rests in suspense, and ended on heart-stopping notes it is expected that the Playoffs will grant us the same thrill.

The Journey of Dream11 IPL 2020 is a bumpy one and is one of the greatest that has ever been. We saw fantastic knocks from young players like Devdutt Padikkal, Rahul Tewatia, etc., and we saw mind-blowing performances from the seniors like KL Rahul, David Warner, Shikhar Dhawan, Faf Du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Quinton de Kock, etc. The way CSK has left the tournament before playoffs for the first time after many years has been one of the greatest tragedies of IPL 2020 but the ride is still on.

Mumbai Indians started the tournament with a loss against CSK but picked up well to grab the top position in the points table with the highest number of victories. The team has played 14 matches and had won in 9, securing 18 points. MI is the first team to have qualified for the playoffs and will be facing Delhi Capitals in Qualifier-1.

Mumbai Indians comprised of fantastic players like Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Nathan Coulter Nile, etc. Among these, players like Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, and Surya Kumar Yadav are among the highest overall run-scorers, Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya hold the highest strike rates in IPL 2020, and Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult are among the highest wicket-takers.

With these kinds of players in its pocket, Mumbai Indians is a giant and gives off an invincible vibe. The team’s track record in the current tournament is proof of its performance but the fact that it had faced some tragic losses over the course of leagues cannot be ignored. In the last match of the leagues, Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a 10-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians. Though this does not affect the team at any level, this might boost the morale of the opposition giving them a psychological edge that might make a difference in its performance.

Delhi Capitals, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, has secured the second-highest number of victories and is now in the second position of the points table. The team had won in 8 matches and secured 16 points. Though the team had lost both the matches against MI in IPL 2020, DC has been in great shape and is performing at its best. The team’s faceoff with Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier-1 for the third time might be a good time to prove its dominance over the giant.

DC also has players like Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Marcus Stoinis, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Shimron Hetmeyer, etc., in the team. Among these, players like Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer are among the highest run scorers, Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmeyer bear the best strike rates, and Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje are among the highest wicket-takers.

Delhi Capitals showed great resilience throughout the tournament, but the team has to come together to beat a giant like Mumbai Indians. While the fact that it has some of the best players weighs in, the performance by each and every player needs to be the best in order to secure a victory and move on to the finals. Will DC be able to beat MI in Qualifier-1? Only time will tell.
