DC vs MI: With a win still eluding both the sides, the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals would be colliding with each other, hoping to put an end to their losing rut as the Arun Jaitley Stadium gears up to play host to a nip and tuck encounter.
The Delhi Capitals would be coming to this fixture on the back of another crushing defeat against Rajasthan Royals as their batting woes continue. Despite David Warner’s lone battle at one end, he received no support whatsoever except for Lalit Yadav that came way too late in the innings.
The story has been nothing different for the Mumbai Indians as they slumped down to their second straight defeat after bowing out the Chennai Super Kings with another mediocre display of batting. Ishan Kishan and Tim David fought hard to stay alive but at the end of the day a masterclass from Ajinky Rahane saw them being outplayed completely.
With so much at stake, both the teams would be hoping to put their best feet forward as another defeat to any of the teams can hurt them badly in the marathon tournament, particularly in the net run-rate column.
DC vs MI: Pitch and Weather report
With an average score of 177 batting first at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, you can expect another run-fest as the two teams starring a handful of impressive strikers of the ball come face to face. There is also no hint of swing but the bounce and carry are ideally a lot better.
The sky may be cloudy and the humidity will be shooting through the roofs but there isn’t any prediction of rains. More importantly, there will be dew in the second half that will make spinners’ life a living nightmare.
