Delhi Capitals Vs Mumbai Indians : Can the DC defeat the MI at home, putting the visitors in danger of losing?

• Both Tilak Varma (273 from 8 games) and Rohit Sharma (303 from 8 games) have been in excellent form at the bat, regularly and rapidly accumulating runs.
• Three important batters for DC are Pant (342 from 9 games), Stubbs (225 from 9 games), and McGurk (163 from 4 games). They will be looking to gently remove Bumrah (13 wickets from 8 games) so they can destroy the remainder of the opposition.

Delhi Capitals Vs Mumbai Indians

MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS

The Delhi Capitals Vs Mumbai Indians square off in a crucial match for the bottom half of the league. The victor will go farther in the competition, while the loser will move closer to the point of elimination.

Currently being in sixth place with eight points, Delhi Capitals are in a stronger position than Mumbai Indians, who are in eighth place with three victories and six points.

Both sides will be trying to put together a few victories to increase their chances of making it to the knockout round after managing to win three of their previous five games.

Delhi Capitals now trail Mumbai Indians 15-19 overall in their head-to-head match, but based mostly on their recent record and the exciting style of cricket they’ve been playing with the bat, Delhi appears to be a far more formidable squad than their West Coast rivals.

Teams Preview –

Delhi Capitals :

Although Rishabh Pant’s Capitals have managed to win four games thus far, their consistency is still far from what they would like it to be. Their bowling group came up as their batting collapsed early in the tournament. And it’s the exact reverse now.

Their bowlers, particularly Anrich Nortje, whose horrifying performance in this year’s IPL continues, have shown to be reliable, but their batting has clicked. Regardless of the pace he creates, batsmen have been able to play them fearlessly and score runs off of him with ease. After having a strong start to the season, Mukesh Kumar faltered in the middle and is currently attempting to get back on track.

While Khaleel Ahmed and Lalit Yadav, the fifth bowling option, haven’t yet made an impression, Axar Patel and Kuldeep have generally performed well. With the addition of Australian phenom Fraser McGurk, DC’s hitting has significantly improved. It is concerning that Prithvi Shaw is unable to spend time at the crease.

However, Abhishek Porel has steadied himself and can provide his squad a strong base from above. The Delhi Capitals have had great play from Pant and Stubbs, and their combination paid off the other night when the Gujarat Titans came to Delhi and gave the hosts an exciting chase.

Delhi Capitals Playing XI:

Prithvi Shaw, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar. Impact Sub: Rasikh Salam.

Mumbai Indians :

The Mumbai Indians have performed poorly the entire season. The squad’s poor performance this season is evidently due to the captaincy change that has obviously upset the team’s flow.

Bumrah was the one who, more than anybody else, always placed Mumbai in a solid position. With his amazing T20 abilities, the Indian captain has been in excellent form and has been asking the batters questions. Although Coetzee, his partner, has not had the desired impact, the South African bowls with all of his heart. In addition, Akash Madhwal hasn’t exactly lit up the competition and is currently refining his radar. It hasn’t worked out at all for Piyush Chawla or Shreyas Gopal as the spinner.

Rohit Sharma is leading the way at bat, scoring the most of the runs up front. Additionally performing admirably in the middle order is Tilak Varma. Though he’s still not quite in his element, Suryakumar Yadav scored a vital 78 the other night to give MI a chance. Only Ishan Kishan has managed to achieve a single half century, with the remaining batsmen being largely insignificant.

Mumbai Indians Playing XI:

Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Mohammad Nabi, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah. Impact Sub: Nuwan Thushara.

Pitch & Weather Conditions:

Weather :

These figures demonstrate how batting-friendly the wicket has been at this location: 4 innings and 3 scores of 200 or more. Additionally, batters are allowed to swing towards the stands because of the lower boundaries here. If the wicket holds up, this should be another exciting match with lots of scoring. There is no chance of rain during this match, according to the clear forecast. It will be action-packed cricket.

Pitch Report:

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi will host this game. The Mumbai Indians are seeking to increase their record going into this game since they have defeated the Delhi Capitals three times in the last five meetings at this location.

Toss: To Bat

The side batting first has won both of the games played at this location thus far, albeit by a slim margin in one of them. It’s quite possible that the side that wins the toss will decide to bat first and load the score up.
