Thanks everyone for joining, see you later. Do not forget to follow our Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad live coverage.
Ishan Kishan is the Man of the Match.
Kieron Pollard: Boult was excpetional. That's his strength, bowling with the new ball. He's consistently given us good starts. Bumrah, I kept delaying him, on this track with his angles. He's jumping to bowl in the powerplays, but again I saw today getting those early wickets, and with the spinners getting grip, kept him for the middle overs.
Trent Boult: Yeah a little bit of swing, once again not for too long. Nice to take wickets at the start and we didn't really let that pressure off. The wickets are getting nice to bowl on.
Shreyas Iyer: I think we fell short at reading the wicket. We weren't up to the mark, those wickets in the powerplay took down the momentum. It was important that we built partnerships but it happened in bits and pieces. Lots of flaws to point out but we've got to believe in ourselves. You actually can't anticipate how the wicket's going to play right from the start.

Mumbai Indians have rested Hardik Pandya, keeping in mind the fact that he is coming back from a surgery. Delhi Capitals have benched Axar Patel, a surprising decision.
A win today will seal Delhi Capitals' place in the top 4. And Mumbai Indians have the chance of sealing their position in the top 2 in the points table. So, a lot is at stake in today's match.
Mumbai Indians: Ishan Kishan, Quinton de Kock (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Kieron Pollard (capt), Krunal Pandya, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.
Delhi Capitals: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer (capt), Rishabh Pant (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Harshal Patel, Praveen Dubey, R Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje.
Weakness of Mumbai Indians: No apparent weaknesses but they can be beaten by committed teams as was shown recently.
Weakness of Delhi Capitals
The batting has become weaker as the tournament has progressed. Regular opener Prithvi Shaw's inconsistency caused him to be dropped in favour of Ajinkya Rahane but their opening issues remain. Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer often get out playing too many shots. Even captain Shreyas Iyer is struggling to get runs.
Deccan Herald’s Dream XI: Quinton de Kock, Shikhar Dhawan, Surya Kumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Rahul Chahar, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Jasprit Bumrah.
Strengths of Mumbai Indians
The best attack of the season has Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, James Pattinson and Rahul Chahar. Kieron Pollard too has bowled well when needed.
Strengths of Delhi Capitals
The bowling has been the biggest strength. Kagiso Rabada is the season's leading wicket-taker with 23 wickets. He has been well supported by Anrich Nortje who has 15 scalps. R Ashwin and Axar Patel have played their part.
Three losses don't make us a bad team, says Delhi Capitals' Ajinkya Rahane
A hat-trick of losses might have jeopardised their playoff chances but Delhi Capitals batsman Ajinkya Rahane says the string of defeats doesn't make them a bad side and stressed on staying positive and playing as a unit in the upcoming matches.
