Mumbai defeated Delhi by 57 runs to storm into the final of the ongoing Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season. The much-anticipated battle between the top two sides of the tournament ended up being a one-sided affair as Mumbai’s Dream11 IPL 2020 signing Trent Boult bowled with his trademark zip to deliver a match-winning spell of 2-9. The New Zealand speedster bowled only two overs as he later sustained a groin injury and went out of the field.

Dream11 IPL 2020: Trent Boult achieves a unique feat in all Mumbai vs Delhi matches this year

Trent Boult achieved a unique ‘season triple’ against Delhi in the ongoing Dream11 IPL 2020 edition. In all Mumbai vs Delhi matches this year, Boult has claimed at least one Delhi wicket in his opening over of the contest. On October 11, he dismissed Delhi opener Prithvi Shaw on the third ball of his first over to claim his only wicket in the match. In their return fixture on October 31, the Kiwi pacer sent back in-form opener Shikhar Dhawan for a duck en route to dismantling the Shreyas Iyer-led side with figures of 3-21.

The two sides came face-to-face again, this time to earn a spot in the final through the Dream11 IPL 2020 playoffs stage. With a first innings score of 200 to defend, Trent Boult claimed the wickets of Prithvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane before the two batsmen could even bother the scorers. Interestingly, Boult represented the Delhi franchise in the 2019 edition of the tournament before getting acquired by Mumbai during the players trading window later that year.
