Cricket fans can’t keep calm ahead of the Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 final as social media is flooded with exciting messages.

Mumbai Indians’ confidence must be on seventh heaven as their performance in this season has been nothing less than staggering. From veterans like Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard to youngsters Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan; every batsman has runs under their belt. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult have breathed with the ball. They, in fact, have defeated DC as many as three times earlier in the season and will not mind replicating their heroics. Here’s How Mumbai Indians Made It to Summit Clash.
Speaking of DC, they were sensational in the initial half of the season – winning seven of their first nine games. However, they then lost the plot out of nowhere and suffered four straight defeats. Delhi still, somehow, managed to finish the group stage at the second position but faced another humiliating 57-run loss against MI in Qualifier 1. Nevertheless, they were clinical against Sunrisers Hyderabad – registering a 17-run win Qualifier 2 – and made way to the finals. In-form batsmen Shikhar Dhawan and Marcus Stoinis will have the onus to put runs on board while Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada will handle mantle with the ball. As both sides gear up for the ultimate game, let’s look at how fans expressed their excitement. Here’s How Delhi Capitals Made It to Summit Clash.

Meanwhile, MI will indeed take the field as firm favourites. They have ticked all the boxes and will be backing themselves for retaining their title. Notably, Mumbai have defeated Delhi thrice in this season. Hence, they’ll look to extend their winning streak while DC have to put their best foot forward to upset the reigning champions.
IPL 2020 was the greatest ever season in Indian Premier League history due to multiple reasons. It marked the return of Indian cricket stars on the field after a long coronavirus-induced halt. To add on that, players had to follow several safety instructions and norms amid the global pandemic. All these factors, however, didn’t affect the quality of cricket as majority of games went right down to the wire. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore qualified to the playoffs with seven wins in the group stages while Rajasthan Royals finished last in the team standings with six wins. This stat is enough to highlight the magnificent contest in the tournament.
