Pitch Report
Analysis
As the season has progressed, the Delhi Capitals have made massive improvements despite being marred with major injuries and out-of-form key players. The DC batting, with the inclusion of Jake Fraser-McGurk, has seemed unstoppable. The bowling still has flaws but Kuldeep Yadav and Mukesh Kumar’s return to form has helped the Capitals stay afloat.
On the other hand, the 2024 season has been a horror show for the Mumbai Indians with new captain Hardik Pandya facing heavy scrutiny in every game. The MI batting has had a hit-or-miss season with no batter consistently firing. In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah and Gerland Coetzee have been the star performers but no one else has managed to create pressure and pick up wickets.
