That is all from us for today. See you guys tomorrow.
Quinton de Kock is the Man of the Match for his innings of 53 runs off 36 balls.
"Enjoyed the win. Just keeping it simple worked for me. I have been batting well in the nets. I wasn't too stressed. Lack of runs is disappointing, but I wasn't too stressed because I have been hitting it well in the nets."
Rohit Sharma: Means a lot. The kind of cricket we are playing gives us confident going forward. Really pleased how we have played in the first half of the tournament. Perfect day for us. We did everything right today. We bowled really well, then clinical with the bat. Not so much in the end but we will take it. We have always spoken of the importance of one set batter till the end because he knows the conditions. That is one thing we need to tighten.
Shreyas Iyer: We were 10-15 runs short. 175 would have looked completely different. We really missed out when Stoinis got run out. That is something we need to work on. We need to work on our fielding as well. Overall they outplayed us. We need to work on our mindset next game.

Delhi Capitals' strengths:
The good news for Capitals is Shimron Hetmyer getting his touchback with the innings against Rajasthan Royals on Friday.He seemed to be the only weak link in Capitals' ranks but his six-laden knock against Royals has removed that worry.
Capitals' skipper Shreyas Iyer has been very impressive so far both as a batsman and as the leader of the pack. It will be interesting to see how he uses his resources against his in-form counterpart Rohit Sharma and his smashing middle-order due of Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard.
Mumbai Indians' strengths:
If at all one team has a slight upper hand in any department, it's the experience in Mumbai Indians' pace bowling arsenal. Both Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, with years of experience behind them, could be the difference in the most sought-after contest of this edition.
