Rohit Sharma's 68 and Trent Boult's 3/30 - including two wickets in his first two overs - helped Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals by five wickets in the final of Indian Premier League 2020. With this win, Mumbai added a fifth IPL title to their kitty, more than any other team in the 13-year history of the league. Chasing 157 to win, Mumbai got 33 off the first three overs as Quinton de Kock tore into the Delhi bowlers. He was dismissed by Marcus Stoinis but Rohit carried on to hit a match-defining fifty and stitched crucial partnerships with de Kock (20), Suryakumar Yadav (19) and Ishan Kishan (33 not out) to keep Mumbai in control. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer (65 not out) and Rishabh Pant (56) helped Delhi score 156 for 7 after they were 22 for 3 at one stage. Boult got three while Nathan Coulter-Nile got two wickets for Mumbai. (SCORECARD)
IPL 2020 Final Highlights Between MI vs DC, Straight From DubaiÂ
Kishan gets some width outside off and he just guides it through the gap at third man for four by opening the face of the bat and using the bowler's pace.
It's too late now, surely, for DC. Just five more runs need to win.
Stoinis takes off the pace and bowls it wide outside off but Kishan threw at it eveything he had. The ball has sailed over long-off and landed beyond the sight screen.
That's a sacrifice by Suryakumar. Rohit hit this ball straight to Praveen at mid-off and sprinted off for a run even as Surya yelled "no, no" at the other end.
Surya took off only after both batsmen were at the non-striker's end and the throw had been collected at the striker's end. He crossed Rohit before Pant whipped off the bails.
A paddle-sweep this time. Rohit gets inside the line of that ball by Axar and plays it through fine leg for another four. He is toying with the bowlers here at the moment.
Praveen Dubey overpitches and Rohit launches this one over the bowler's head for six. A much-needed release shot for Mumbai as DC had built some pressure over the last two overs.
Just the kind of Powerplay that Mumbai were after.
This has made things easier for the middle and lower middle order should the chase get tight in the end and the pressure of the final makes things tough even for the experienced hands of Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard.
This ball wasn't short at all. But do you remember those Rohit pull-shots off the front foot? Yes, he pulls this one off the front foot, over mid-wicket for another six.
The runs continue to flow for Mumbai. De Kock looks to be in some kind of hurry here. He smashes Ashwin through mid-wicket for four on the last ball of the third over.
Mumbai have come out all guns blazing. They have raced away to 22 in just two overs with Rabada's first over yielding 14 runs for the defending champions.
Is Rabada really the highest wicket-taker of IPL 2020?
De Kock certainly is treating Rabada like a net bowler. This was in the slot, full length outside off, and de Kock hit that over wide long-on for a six.
Rohit comes dancing down the wicket and hits Ashwin over long-on for six. The man at the boundary was interested but this was hit hard enough to just clear him and land beyond the rope.
Coulter-Nile bowls one short and outside off and Iyer throws the kitchen sink at it. He hits this one hard and the ball goes sailing over mid-wicket for six.
This was a slower ball, bowled short in length by Coulter-Nile. Axar got hold of the ball and smashed it over mid-wicket. However, he fails to clear the man in the deep. Clever bowling by Coulter-Nile and justly rewarded.
