That's it from us here. Mumbai Indians put in a dominant performance to seal the top two spot and showed why they are top of the table. Brilliant all-round cricket from them. Hope you enjoyed it.

18:48 (IST)

Ishan Kishan, MoM: Batting was not as easy as it looked. The ball wasn't coming on so I had to keep rotating the strike and then take them apart later. My coaches told me that playing shots on the off-side is important. I enjoy batting everywhere, wherever the management wants.

18:48 (IST)

Pollard: It's 16 (wins) off 17 matches (as a captain). It was exceptional from him (Boult), he's been consistently getting wickets in the Powerplay. I kept delaying Bumrah because, on this track, he would be more useful in the middle overs. Kishan has been fantastic at the top, when he gets going, he goes big. He started at No 4 and then getting his opportunity now and getting better, I think he prefers opening on batting. Rohit is getting better, he's getting there. We are also excited, he's working hard. It's a matter of getting another two good games and then see what happens in the final.

What a performance from MI. They have sealed the top-two spot now. Brilliant bowling. Superb catching and almost flawless batting. Kishan showed glimpses of his talent with a wide range of shots in his 45-balls 66. MI chased the total down with ease against a formidable bowling line-up. Bumrah was world class in the middle overs as he scythed through the middle order while Boult set it up with a couple of wickets at the top. DC never really recovered from the early jolts and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

18:32 (IST)

Shreyas Iyer: We fell short at reading the wicket. We were not up to the mark, those wickets in powerplay disrupted the momentum. Lots of flaws to point out but we have got to believe in ourselves. We will have to be fearless (against RCB) and keep things simple. It's an important game for us.

MI WIN BY 9 WICKETS! SIX! Kishan finishes it off in style. What a shot to win it. It's full on middle and leg, Kishan picks it up and flicks it over deep square leg for a huge maximum. Rohit in the dug out enjoyed it to the core. 

18:25 (IST)

After 14 overs,Mumbai Indians 105/1 ( Ishan Kishan 66 , Suryakumar Yadav 12)

Another excellent over for MI. Suryakumar got a single off the first ball and then Kishan hammered a six off the next. The next four balls yielded three singles. 10 runs off the over. MI need just 6 runs from 36 balls.

SIX! Clobbered! It's full on middle and off, Kishan gets down and slog sweeps it powerfully over deep mid-wicket off Dubey.

Preview: Delhi Capitals lock horns with Mumbai Indians in the 51st match of the Indian Premier League at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

At one point in time, Delhi Capitals were cruising and looked a formidable side who had the perfect balance and the one to beat. Now, the tables have turned. They are struggling to get a win on the board and have lost their last three matches.

Their batting has let them down big time. Their last two totals read - 131 all out and 135/9. Their problems have continued. One of the openers hasn't clicked. Ajinkya Rahane has flopped, while Prithvi Shaw has lost his touch.

The rest of the batting order too needs to step up. Marcus Stoinis has gone cold, Hetmyer has been inconsistent. Rishabh Pant hasn't found the perfect balance between defence and attack.

Head coach Ricky Ponting admitted that chasing is a concern and DC need to hit the reset button.

"It's been a concern. When we decide to bowl first, we've given away big totals. We have to get better at that, we need to be better at bowling first and at chasing totals because so far, it hasn't worked for us," said Ponting after the match in the post-match conference.

"We had a rough idea from the start of the game on how many points one might need to qualify. We got to seven wins quite quickly, and now lost three in a row. We have to reset right now," Ponting added.

The bowling too needs improvement. R Ashwin hasn't found his rhythm in the last two matches while Tushar Deshpande has gone for plenty.

DC need to get their mojo back quickly. They play the top two sides in their last two fixtures and it could be tough. They are still not in a do or die situation but you never know what can happen in this unpredictable tournament.

Mumbai, on the other hand, have become the first team to qualify for the playoffs, thanks to CSK's win over KKR on Thursday. They would like to strengthen their position at the top of the table and their chances of ending in the top two.

After the thumping loss to Rajasthan Royals, they would have gained a lot of confidence in the way they chased down 165 against RCB in their last match. Suryakumar Yadav was the man of the moment and with the form he is in, he will again be a big threat for the DC bowlers. There is still uncertainty about Rohit Sharma's participation and in his absence, Kieron Pollard will continue to lead the side. Pollard has impressed with his leadership.

The MI bowlers bowled well in the middle overs and the death against RCB, they would look to improve on their powerplay bowling. Trent Boult has gone for runs in the last couple of matches and would look to get back to his best as soon as possible.

When these two teams met earlier in the tournament, Mumbai beat DC easily by five wickets with Quinton de Kock and Yadav scoring half-centuries to chase down 163.

Mumbai Indians would look for consistency and momentum ahead of the playoffs. We can expect a cracker.
