DC vs MI Team Preview

Delhi Capitals

Delhi’s winning edge stems from stellar middle and lower-order batting, with KL Rahul leading the charge. His two standout innings, 77 off 51 against Chennai and an unbeaten 93 off 53 against RCB at Bengaluru, signal hope against Mumbai Indians. Axar Patel earns praise, captaining without prior experience, even in domestic cricket, and emerging as one of IPL’s top skippers this season.

Delhi Capital’s opening combo falters; Fraser-McGurk fails to deliver runs, excelling in defense but losing wickets when attacking; he scores just 46 runs in 4 innings. Though having a 200+ strike rate, he seeks form, expected to peak soon, or DC must explore alternatives.

Bowling shines with Mitchell Starc and Mukesh Kumar claiming powerplay wickets. However, conceding runs; Starc gains momentum in the second spell, but Mukesh struggles, leaking 18 runs, including 4 wides, in last over of past match. Spinners impress, with Kuldeep delivering as expected and young Vipraj shining in every match, poised to continue. These strengths give DC an edge; if they maintain momentum against out-of-form Mumbai, they stand a high chance of winning at home.

Mumbai Indians

MI boasts a champion’s arsenal with top bowlers like Boult, Bumrah, and Chahar, plus spinner Mitchell Santner. They also scout young sensation Ashwini Kumar, who stuns KKR with 4 wickets in MI’s sole win. Yet, these star-studded players falter, conceding runs in powerplay and death overs.

MI’s openers struggle; Rohit Sharma makes brief appearances, scoring just 81 runs in 4 innings; though IPL favors young talent, MI clings to big names, backing Rohit blindly. Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks mirror Rohit’s poor form. This season’s winning secret favors teams preserving wickets in the powerplay, but MI ignores this, losing 2-3 wickets early.

Though DC faces similar issues, they handle collapses with steady momentum, maintaining run-rate; MI slows down amid falls, explaining Delhi’s edge.
