Talking Points from Qualifier 1: Mumbai Indians' tactical ploy, Boult-Bumrah magic, Rohit's playoff struggles
India TV NewsBattle of the top two teams from the league phase in the first match of the playoffs is always expected to be tight game, a nail-biter, packed with edge-of-the-seat moments. And there was, on Thursday night in Dubai when defending champions Mumbai Indians had taken on Delhi Capitals in the first Qualifier of IPL 2020, but for a brief moment. Mumbai's Cruciatus Curse - Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya's onslaught, coupled with Boult-Bumrah magic - left Delhi crippled and writhing in pain and eventually succumbing to a 57-run defeat. In 18 playoff innings in IPL, Rohit has managed just 229 runs at an average of 13.47 with eight single-digit scores and three ducks, the last one happened on Thursday night when R Ashwin trapped him lbw in his first ball. 4) Boult-Bumrah magic: The pair has been the formidable combination this season and had even cleaned up Delhi's batting order in the previous game where Mumbai won by nine wickets.
