Route to the Final
Group stage
The Super Kings' campaign started with a loss against the defending champion Deccan Chargers.[6] They went on to win their next two matches against Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils respectively, but then lost four consecutive matches against Kings XI Punjab, Royal Challengers, Indians and Rajasthan Royals. Though the loss against Kings XI came in a Super-Over after the match ended in a tie.[7] From then they went on to win three consecutive matches against Royal Challengers, Indians and Royals, but they again lost to Chargers at their next match. However they won two of their last three matches including their last match of group stage which led them to the knockout stage.[1][8][9]
While on the other hand campaign for Mumbai Indians was like a bed of roses. They won seven out of their first with the only defeat coming in their third match against the Royal Challengers.[10] But after this start they won three and lost three of their last six matches. However 20 points from 10 wins in 14 matches were more than enough for them to be the points table topper as their closest team at the points table, Deccan Chargers had 16 points in their bag.[1][11]
The two teams faced each other in two matches of the group stage, Indians and Super Kings won one each.[1] Both the Super Kings and Indians played at the DY Patil Stadium for the first time in the finals.[1]
