Delhi and Mumbai teams news

Both Mumbai and Delhi have a strong bowling line up but the Rohit Sharma-led side holds and edge over Delhi as it has a formidable batting line up while Delhi's batting depends on two-three key players. Moreover, Mumbai has defeated Delhi all the three games they have played in the tournament so far with all of them being a one-sided affair. 

Delhi has shown its mettle in the Qualifier 2 against SRH but facing Mumbai in an IPL finale would be a different ball game as the four-time IPL champions have immense experience. 

Moreover, if Bumrah and Boult strike early, it will be too tough for Delhi defeat Mumbai. Overall, we'd be in for an exciting final at Dubai in IPL 2020 final.
