What is descriptive Writing -
A description is a set of characteristics by
which someone or something can be
recognised. We can describe people, places
and events. By describing them we make a
sketch in words so that the reader is able to
get a clear picture of the described object. A
good description creates a clear mental image
in the mind of the reader.

About Final match.
Ans.
Magnificent IPL 2020
This time due to the Covid-19 pandemic, IPL took place a bit
late. This year it started on 19th September. An auction was
held before the tournament, in which players are chosen for
their respective teams. Eight teams participate head-to-head.

Generally, the IPL takes place in India but this time it took
place in UAE (United Arab Emirates). One thing that makes
me sad, that I cannot watch the matches in the stadium. But
the good news is that at least I get to watch my favourite
sport during this pandemic.
The final match was played between Mumbai Indians
and Delhi Capitals. Mumbai Indians won the final
match and for the 5th time they have achieved the
victory. Delhi Capitals played remarkably too. I look
forward to watching all the matches in the next
season.
