Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, chased down 157 runs in 18.4 over with five wickets in hand to beat DC and clinch the title. Delhi had won the toss and opted to bat first but Trent Boult gave Mumbai Indians a terrific start with the first-ball wicket of Marcus Stoinis. Boult then returned in his second over and dismissed Ajinkya Rahane before Jayant Yadav bowled Shikhar Dhawan to leave DC reeling at 22/3 at one stage.

But a 96-run stand between captain Shreyas Iyer (65*) and Rishabh Pant (56) propelled Delhi Capitals to a respectable total. But it was never going to be enough against a power-packed MI batting order. Rohit Sharma’s 68 helped the defending champions chase down the score with ease.
