DC vs MI: Match Overview

Delhi Capitals

David Warner would feel anxious. In the most recent match, his team lost to the Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs. They had lost three games in a row. The top tier has appeared pitiful and must rise to the occasion. In order to maintain the team’s hopes of making the playoffs, Warner needs to lead from the front.

David Warner has scored runs in every game, but fellow opener Prithvi Shaw, who has only scored 19 runs in three games, will need to help him. Since this has hurt the team’s chances in previous games, Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw, and Lalit Yadav must score runs in the middle order. Toward the end, the team will also require runs from Axar Patel, Rovman Powell, and Abhishek Porel.

The majority of the time, the bowling attack has failed. With the new ball, the team will need strong spells from Anrich Nortje and Khaleel Ahmed. The team will expect a strong performance from Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel, who have not lived up to their reputations.

Mumbai Indians  

The IPL’s most successful team has not yet lived up to its name. In the most recent match, Rohit Sharma’s team lost to the Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets. The weak bowling attack has struggled while their batsmen have failed to produce. In this game, Sharma would try to put this behind them and put on a good show.

Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan must score runs at the top. In two games, it was one of the issues. It is necessary to advance to No. 3, and Cameron Green and Tilak Varma, in the middle of the order, score runs. The team would like Tim David, Tristan Stubbs, and Arshad Khan to run down the order.

The team will need quick spells using the new ball from Jason Behrendorff and Arshad Khan because their bowling resources are depleted. Green had a good game in the previous match, so he and Piyush Chawla will need to bowl in the right places and stop the runs from coming in. Kumar Kartikeya and Hrithik Shokeen are expected to put on a strong performance for the team.
