Quo Points for DC in this 2020 IPL:
25-year-old Shreyas Iyer will become the youngest captain to lead a team into the IPL finals on Tuesday with a hard-fought victory over the Sunrisers last Sunday. In addition, he is just 40 runs behind Virender Sehwag to become the Delhi franchise’s highest run-scorer. For all Dilli fans out there, the DC skipper hitting the landmark with a valiant victory tomorrow will not be less than a historic moment!
R Ashwin, whose experience in past matches has been a valuable tool for DC, is just 2 wickets short of being the third Indian to take 250 T20 wickets to the bowler. Tomorrow, the seasoned spinner who bagged a few major wickets, including MI skipper Rohit Sharma in the last match, will look to continue his supremacy over the Mumbai batters.

Key Battles:
Ashwin vs MI Openers
Responsible for trapping the MI openers in the last game, Ash will look to dominate again in the final. With an impressive economy rate, Ashwin will be key in adding pressure on the MI openers in the powerplay.
Stoinis vs Bumrah-Boult
Stonnis helped us with an explosive start against the SRH bowling unit and will look to unleash fire over the dangerous Bumrah-Boult combo. For a DC fan, the visual of Stonnis hitting the lightning pacers out of the park would be no less than a Superhero movie!
The side who can get their plans executed on schedule, after all, is going to have an upper hand in the game. Shreyas’s boys are at the doorstep with a rejuvenated young side, ready to make history! A history that will stay engraved into the golden pages of Dilli’s cricketing fans!
