In reply to Delhi’s 156-7, Mumbai cruised to 157-5 in 18.4 overs on the back of captain Rohit Sharma’s 68 off 51 balls and spoiled the Capitals’ first appearance in the final.
Delhi struggled against Mumbai’s pace, led by Trent Boult’s 3-30, including a wicket with the first ball of the final.
Delhi skipper Shreyas Iyer, who won the toss, made an unbeaten 65 and Rishabh Pant notched his first half-century this season before falling to Nathan Coulter-Nile for 56.
