They did not let the DC batsmen get any momentum, and restricted them to 110-9 in their 20 overs. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult were the stars of the show with three wickets each.
Chasing just 111 runs to win the game and seal a top-two finish, the MI batsmen chased down the target with 9 wickets in hand. Ishan Kishan scored an unbeaten 72, and was named the Man of the Match. Iyer accepted that there are a lot of improvements to be made after this comprehensive loss.
We will have to be fearless in our approach: Shreyas Iyer
Not long ago, DC were sitting pretty at the top of the table with 7 wins from 9 games. But after 4 consecutive losses, they find themselves in a do-or-die situation. Iyer stated that DC will have to play a fearless brand of cricket, something which gave them so much success in the first half of the tournament.
DC will play their final game of the league phase against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on 2nd November at Abu Dhabi. A win in that game will cement their place in the IPL 2020 playoffs.
