As Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals in the penultimate league match of IPL 2022 on Saturday, the play-off spots were decided. DC have now been knocked out, with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) managing to hold on to the fourth spot. A three-wicket haul from Jasprit Bumrah first helped Mumbai restrict Delhi to 159/7 in 20 overs after Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl. Rovman Powell top-scored for DC with his knock of 43. Ishan Kishan’s 48 and Tim David’s brilliant 11-ball 34 then helped MI win a thrilling chase.
A dropped catch and a decision to not take a review against Tim David when he was yet to get off the mark cost the Delhi dearly as they fell short in their must-win tie.
The four teams to qualify for the play-offs are Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Gujarat Titans have finished the season as the table-toppers, while Rajasthan Royals finished second.
Lucknow Super Giants finished third, while RCB round off the top four.
Gujarat Titans will now face Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 at the Eden Gardens on May 24, Tuesday.
LSG and RCB will then play the Eliminator at the same venue on May 25.
