Pandya has played 13 matches in in IPL 2020 and has scored 278 runs at a strike rate of 182.89. He has also grabbed a fifty. His boundary count consists of 14 fours and 25 sixes. He hasn't bowled this season reportedly due to fitness issues. His big-hitting skills have come handy for Mumbai this season.

MI finished the league phase in top spot, and then defeated Delhi in Qualifier 1 to reach the final. Meanwhile, DC wrapped up the league phase in second position, but had to wait till Qualifier, where they defeated SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) to reach the final.

Other than Qualifier 1, both sides have played against each other twice this season. In Match 27, MI won by five wickets, with Quinton de Kock scoring a match-winning half-century.

Then in Match 51, Delhi lost again by nine wickets. Ishan Kishan scored an unbeaten knock of 72 runs and Jasprit Bumrah grabbed three wickets.

The title clash is also Delhi's maiden IPL final.
