Marcus Stoinis of Delhi Capitals — Marcus Stoinis is a gamechanger. The Australian blazed away to give the Delhi Capitals their best start in IPL 2020 and returned to claim three wickets that broke the back of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 17-run win puts Delhi in their first final, bringing them within a sniffing distance of their maiden title. Image Credit: Sportzpics for BCCI

Delhi Capitals players — Delhi Capitals will clash with the Mumbai Indians in Dubai on Tuesday to decide the champions of Season 13. This is familiar territory for four-time champions Mumbai who have been in five finals. For Delhi, this is the closest they have come to winning the trophy. Will they be nervous? Will they buckle under the pressure of expectation? Image Credit: Sportzpics for BCCI

Marcus Stoinis of Delhi Capitals c — Hyderabad too gambled with Priyam Garg in the opening slot, and it nearly paid off. But David Warner’s early dismissal snuffed out all hopes of a dramatic win. Kane Williamson fought gamely but sorely lacked support. If Jason Holder had stuck around, we might have had a different result. So good was Williamson’s controlled aggression that Delhi could heave a sigh of relief only after the New Zealander’s dismissal. Rabada soon closed out the game with a three-wicket burst.

Shikhar Dhawan of Delhi Capitals — Delhi will take plenty of courage from this win. But can they beat Mumbai in the final? It will take more than Stoinis to defeat Mumbai, who are the best side in the fray. Mumbai may not be invincible, yet Delhi will have to catch them on their off-day to win. What’s heartening is Delhi’s willingness to change and adapt in the search for a win. Image Credit: Sportzpics for BCCI
