Dream11 IPL 2020 is just days away from crowning its winner after the league stage of the competition ended on Tuesday. In what was the return of cricketing action for many Indian and international players, the tournament proved to be a roller coaster ride, with nail-biting finishes being the norm this season. Calculators were out as the season entered the penultimate weekend, with NRR (Net Run Rate) proving to be a crucial component in the race for the playoffs.

Defending champions Mumbai were pre-tournament favourites this time out as well, and Rohit Sharma and co delivered on their promise by topping the table at the end of the group stage.

Delhi were regarded as one of the strongest teams on paper this season and lived up to the billing by racking up seven wins in their first nine games.

However, Shreyas Iyer's side then slid to four consecutive defeats, putting their knockout qualification in jeopardy. A win against Bangalore saw them rise to 16 points and thus finish second on the table. Bangalore's loss against Delhi meant that they finished the campaign on 14 points, but their qualification was confirmed due to their superior net run rate. Virat Kohli and co will face off against Hyderabad in the IPL eliminator. Hyderabad clinched a top-four spot with a win in their last game against Mumbai.
