After 15 overs, DC was comfortably placed at 118/4. Usually teams get 70 to 80 runs from the last 5 overs, and based on that I was expecting a total of somewhere around 190-200. But they failed to even score 10 runs per over at this stage (they could manage only 36 runs from the last 5 overs). This is the sole reason why they lost the match. Another 20-25 runs could have made a huge difference.
The failure was the Delhi Capitals top order, when you loose 3 wickets for 22 runs then the rest of the players try to play safe so that they will not loose further wickets and then the pressure to score aggressively in a later stage is not easy, a couple of wickets and their tail will be exposed. With the strong batting line up MI had any addition of runs will not make a difference considering the start they got.
After losing their top 3 batsmen by only 22 runs, no one thought they could score 157 runs. I even thought they would lose all their wickets in 120 runs. Lyre and Pants played much better. Finally, if Hetmyre could add some runs to the scoreboard then maybe DC would be able to score more than 170 runs. The final match was not competitive. Everyone thought MI would be the champion, and they got the title.
