Vying for their fifth title, Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to lock horns with a refurbished Delhi Capitals (DC) in the much-awaited IPL 2020 final at Dubai International Stadium. After over seven weeks of the T20 extravaganza, it has boiled down to this -- the robust defending champions taking on an optimistic Delhi side. While MI already have six appearances in IPL finals, this will be the first time when the world will witness Delhi's presence in the summit clash.

Playing their first-ever final, Shreyas Iyer's brigade will be hoping to achieve the 'unbelievable' against the most successful IPL franchise. While the Mumbai camp will be hoping to add another feather in their already illustrious hat.
Both sides have had contrasting journeys in this 'unusual' IPL season. MI reached the finals winning 10 out of their 15 games. DC, on the other hand, cruised to the finals despite a slump in the last few games.

After losing against MI in the first Qualifier, the Delhi batting unit, led by veteran Shikhar Dhawan, came back strongly in the Eliminator. Delivering when it mattered the most, DC outclassed SunRisers Hyderabad in the do-or-die clash to throw down the gauntlet against MI one more time.

Though the Capitals have suffered three defeats against the four-time IPL champions this season, they possess the calibre of outdoing any opposition. However, it will be an uphill task for DC to topple the defending champions, considering their depth and experience of playing 'high-pressure' finals.
