The Mumbai Indians (MI) have been singled out to say the least, and nearly all of their players have contributed to winning this season. On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals have played some great cricket and beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRK) to advance to the finals.
Led the team Shreyas iyer The second half of the league stage lost its steam. But they have managed their game in two of the last three matches. Saying that, DC has lost all three of their matches against MI this season to a great extent and the first qualifier was also an aberration where they lost their three wickets and did not get any runs on the board.
