Preview
Delhi Capitals will take on Mumbai Indians in the 43rd match of the IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Following a close four-run win over Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals will fancy their chances of registering their fourth win in five matches. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians lost to Rajasthan Royals in their previous match of the tournament, putting themselves in a tough spot as far as the reckoning for the IPL playoffs is concerned.
Pitch Report
The first couple of matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi during the IPL 2024 have produced a couple of high-scoring games, with the chasing team being unable to reach the target of over 200. With that, the average first innings score of 167 at this venue in IPL history, could be very difficult for either DC or MI to defend against each other in the upcoming IPL clash.
Team Analysis
Delhi Capitals
The Australian young superstar Jake Fraser-McGurk and the captain Rishabh Pant have hit top form for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2024, scoring runs at a high tempo, while the promotion of Axar Patel at the top of the order paid dividends too. On the bowling side of things, the return of Kuldeep Yadav has been a massive plus for DC, picking up key wickets while bowling impressive spells, helping them win a few matches in the IPL recently.

Mumbai Indians
In the previous match against Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024, the middle order of Mumbai Indians, including the likes of Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera scored vital runs for the team to compete well after their top order was blown away. However, the bowling attack for MI struggled against RR after a decent start with the ball from Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee, conceding 180 runs while being able to pick up only one wicket through Piyush Chawla.

Match Prediction
Conclusion
After winning three out of their last four matches, Delhi Capitals look a confident outfit, but on a batting paradise at home, they might find it too difficult to curtail Mumbai Indians batting lineup in their upcoming IPL 2024 clash.
