Mumbai Indians set for their sixth IPL final

Mumbai Indians will defend their Indian Premier League title in the final after thrashing Delhi Capitals by 57 runs on Thursday.

Ishan Kishan’s attacking 55 and four wickets by Jasprit Bumrah powered Mumbai Indians to their sixth Indian Premier League final.

Mumbai Indians, the most successful team in IPL history, will play for a record-extending fifth title on Tuesday.

The left-handed Kishan put on an unbeaten 60-run partnership with Hardik Pandya, who hit 37 off 14 balls, to steer holders Mumbai to 200 for five in the first qualifier in Dubai.

Delhi Capitals could only manage 143 for eight as Bumrah returned figures of 4-14 to lead this season’s bowling chart with 27 wickets as four-time winners Mumbai sealed a direct entry into the final.
