Once Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi on Monday – Qualifier 1 was locked. Defending champions Mumbai Indians – who topped the points table – will lock horns with Delhi Capitals on Thursday in Dubai International Stadium.
Who would join RCB is still to be decided and that would be confirmed after the last group stage game between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. If Hyderabad wins, with the healthy NRR they have, they will edge Kolkata to the Playoffs. For KKR, it is simple MI win, they are through. It has been a competitive tournament where things boil down to the last league game.
Earlier, it was Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan who rose to the occasions and came up with the fifties to power Delhi to an emphatic win. The win will give Delhi two shots at the final. Even if they lose the first qualifier, they have the second eliminator to bounce back.
