Match Preview
Mumbai will witness IPL 2024 action unfolding on April 7, Sunday, when their home favourites will battle it out with Delhi Capitals. The five-time winners are having a disastrous season as they haven’t been able to record any wins in the tournament thus far. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, began the season with several hopes and desires, with their skipper Rishabh Pant, joining the camp. However, they couldn’t perform well, and while Mumbai are in the bottom-most spot on the points table, Delhi are just one spot ahead of their rivals.
Both sides will aim to change their fortunes and add wins to their accounts in the upcoming match.
Toss Prediction
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have encountered each other in 33 games in the tournament so far. Considering their recent five matches, the Delhi Capitals’ skipper maintained a slight edge over the Mumbai skipper in terms of tosses. However, if we talk about the upcoming match, Mumbai Indians’ skipper Hardik Pandya, is likely to win the toss over Delhi Capitals’ skipper Rishabh Pant.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have played 33 games in the Indian Premier League thus far. Out of these 33 games, Delhi has won 15 matches, whereas Mumbai have had an edge over their rivals with 18 wins. MI are undoubtedly one of the strongest teams in the IPL and are known for delivering consistent performances over the years, are going through a slump in the current season. The franchise’s decision to change the skipper ahead of the IPL 2024 season seems to be a huge mistake for the management.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, had several hopes before the start of the season as their skipper Rishabh Pant made a comeback after missing a year of action. However, their performance as a unit is far from good, and the team needs to put in good effort to make a solid comeback. While the records suggest that MI is a stronger team, their current performance makes us doubt it.
Needless to say, the upcoming game will be a close contest and both sides will aim to come on top. However, we feel the Mumbai-based franchise would give their all and finally be able to win their first game of the season.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The upcoming match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals is the second game of the IPL 2024 that the Wankhede Stadium will host.
