Judgement Day- Delhi Capitals to play its first ever IPL Final against Mumbai Indians in Dream11 IPL 2020

For the first time ever, Delhi Capitals made it all the way into the Final in the thirteenth season of Dream11 IPL 2020. The team managed to cruise through the leagues in second place but lost the Qualifier-1 against Mumbai Indians. It later picked up pace and won the Qualifier-2 against SRH to reach the finals against Mumbai Indians.

Delhi Capitals’ success story is rather a bumpy but inspiring one. The team began Dream11 IPL 2020 with a thrilling match against Kings XI Punjab. This was the second match of the season and it had ended in a super over in which DC won with flying colors. Delhi Capitals team went on to experience riveting highs and lows where it had managed to secure victories with a massive difference, and devastating losses too.

DC team led by the young Shreyas Iyer comprises players like Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Marcus Stoinis, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ravichandran Ashwin, etc. All the players have performed well one time or the other and the presence of consistent performers like Rabada, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, etc., just makes the team stronger.

Shikhar Dhawan is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament with 2 Centuries and 4 Half Centuries. Shreyas Iyer is present in the top ten highest run scorers. DC Bowler Kagiso Rabada is the highest wicket-taker in the current season and Anrich Nortje is among the top ten, tailed by R Ashwin and Marcus Stoinis.

With players like these in the pocket, Delhi Capitals might prove to be a worthy opponent against Mumbai Indians in the Dream11 IPL 2020 Finals. But the fact that Delhi Capitals has lost to the Mumbai Indians team all the three times that it had a face-off cannot be ignored. While this may act as a motivator to defeat them in the final, the immense pressure to stand victorious in the presence of a giant can be a threat to morale.

Mumbai Indians on the other hand are the strongest team in IPL 2020 and is on the top of the table with 18 points along with a victory in Qualifier-1. The team possesses players like Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Nathan Coulter Nile, Rahul Chahar, etc.

Being the most consistent team, Mumbai Indians has three players, Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, and Surya Kumar Yadav among the top ten in the highest run scorers of the tournament. Bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult are in the second and third positions of the most wicket-takers list and have proven to be a menace to the opposition in the season.

In the first encounter, MI chased a total of 162 runs in 19.4 overs and in the second league match it had managed to restrict DC to a total of 110.
