MI vs DC
Delhi Capitals will be looking to make amends for last year’s final. After the first defeat, the Mumbai team has been winning, as the fans say, if you start losing, then stop at the cup. In terms of points, Delhi is third and Mumbai is fourth. Both teams are aiming for success. Mumbai will be looking to overtake Delhi in today’s match.
Delhi is one of the best batting teams in the country. So it is certain that the Mumbai bowlers will work against Delhi. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithviraj Shah put on a formidable opening partnership to give Delhi the lead. An example of this is the way he batted following a high score against Punjab in the last match. Shikhar Dhawan is the leading run-scorer in the league with 186 runs. Captain Rishabh’s performance in the midfield may also change the course of the game.
But the Bumrah-Bolt pace combination is a relief for the Mumbai team as it is in good form. In addition, the fact that leg-spinner Rahul Chahar also bowls well adds to the sharpness of Mumbai bowling. With seven wickets in hand, he is the second highest wicket-taker in the league.
Mumbai will be bowling well. Mumbai have won the last two matches on the strength of the bowlers. Despite a world-class batting line-up, Mumbai did not live up to expectations. Captain Rohit Sharma and De Kok are giving a good start but the team is not able to score big due to lack of solid support from the midfield.
After the first three players, Mumbai’s midfield is not doing well. The Pandya brothers are not yet in form. Kieron Pollard did well in the match against Hyderabad but did not rise to the standard.
