DC will now play the winners of the Eliminator in Qualifier 2 on Sunday, and the winners of this match will qualify for the November 10 final. In the Eliminator, SunRisers Hyderabad will play Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday.
After putting up a total of 200/5 wickets in 20 overs, Bumrah and Boult led the way as DC were restricted to 143/8 wickets in 20 overs.
The two ace fast bowlers blew away DC's top three batsmen for no runs in the first two overs. Boult got DC out-of-form opener Prithvi Shaw off the second ball of the innings and Ajinkya Rahane off the fifth ball.

Bumrah followed that up with the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan to reduce DC to no score for three wickets two balls into the second over. DC captain Shreyas Iyer then fell to Bumrah in his next over after which Rishabh Pant was dismissed by Krunal Pandya.
