Coming back to the match, Delhi set a modest target of 157 for Mumbai after choosing to bat first. In response, the Men in Blue got off to a flyer as they raced to 61/1 at the end of the powerplay. Mumbai openers Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma came out with positive intent as they started taking Delhi bowlers to the cleaners from the word go.

The South African was the aggressor between the two as he scored a quickfire 20 off 12 balls to set lay the perfect foundation for the chase. However, he perished in the fifth over as he was caught behind by Rishabh Pant off Marcus Stoinis' bowling.

Rohit soon reached his fifty and got Mumbai closer to victory. However, the right-hander couldn't finish the game for Mumbai as he was dismissed for a well-made 51-ball 68. The winning formalities were completed in the 19th over when Krunal Pandya took a single off Nortje's bowling and helped Mumbai become the Dream11 IPL 2020 champions.
