In the final, Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bat. 

New Zealand pacer Trent Boult gave the defending champions a dream start by removing Marcus Stoinis off the very first delivery of the summit clash.

Boult struck again in his next over and sent Ajinkya Rahane packing. 

Jayant Yadav got the big wicket of an in-form Shikhar Dhawan to left Delhi reeling at 22 for three.

Iyer and Rishabh Pant then steadied the ship with a 96-run stand for the fourth wicket. 

Pant scored his first half-century of the season but soon he holed out in the deep to Hardik Pandya. 

Iyer remained unbeaten on 65 to guide Delhi to 156 for seven. 

In the chase, Quinton de Kock gave MI a flying start and Rohit Sharma showed intent in his approach and scored a fluent half-century. 

Ishan Kishan played a cameo at the end as Mumbai clinched their record-extending fifth IPL title.
