During the final match of the ongoing 13th season of the Indian Premier League between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in Dubai, Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals by 5 wickets to lift their fifth IPL trophy.
Chasing a below par 157-run target, Indians thrived on the back of captain Rohit Sharma’s 39th IPL half-century. Opening the batting alongside wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock (20), the pair accumulated 45 runs in the first four overs before de Kock was dismissed by Delhi all-rounder Marcus Stoinis.
Sharma, who hadn’t been at this best in IPL 2020 until tonight, stood tall on his potential to grab the biggest opportunity of the season. Having committed an error during the dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav (19), Sharma seemed to have made it a point to make amends in the form of sealing the chase at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
While Sharma was unable to take his team past the victory line, him scoring 68 (51) with the help of five fours and four sixes before getting out in the 17th over was enough for the other MI batsmen to complete the required on-field formalities.
After Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and chose to bat, a 98-run partnership for the fourth wicket between himself and wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant (56) powered DC to 156/7 in 20 overs after being reduced to 22/3 in the powerplay.

#Mi isn’t just the best team in the #IPL, they’re the best team on the planet. Head and shoulders above the rest. Winning the crown is difficult…defending it is even tougher. Only the second team to do so in the IPL. 👏👏

Congratulations @mipaltan: the greatest T20 team of all time & quite possibly the best. That is one of the most dominant IPL campaigns ever (they only lost three in regular time) & they did it while missing Rohit for four matches & with Hardik not bowling a single ball. #IPL2020
