Team News
Delhi Capitals: Axar Patel's men look to build on their strong start after their opening win by locking horns with Mumbai in their first home fixture of the season. They will be looking for a good start from their top-order after relying on their middle-order to save the day against the Super Giants.
Delhi Capitals possible XI: KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Vipraj Nigam, Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar.
Mumbai Indians: Mumbai will be strengthened by the arrival of Kiwi skipper Mitchell Santner for IPL duty, in addition to Englishman Will Jacks, with the latter not confirmed as available to play against the Capitals.
Mumbai Indians possible XI: Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Sherfane Rutherford, Shardul Thakur, Mayank Markande, AM Ghazanfar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.
Key Stats
- Delhi Capitals’ Sameer Rizvi has scored 80*, 88* & 70* in his last 4 knocks.
- Delhi Capitals’ Lungi Ngidi took 3/30, 1/29 & 3/27 in his last 4 matches.
- Delhi Capitals’ T Natarajan has taken 2/22, 1/36 & 3/29 in his last 3 matches.
- Mumbai Indians’ Ryan Rickelton has scored 45*, 31 & 81 in his last 4 knocks.
- Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma hit 6 sixes in his 38-ball 78 against KKR.
- Mumbai Indians’ Shardul Thakur has taken 4/13, 3/20 & 3/39 in his last 4 whiteball matches.
Match Analysis
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is likely to be a batting paradise as usual, and with some shorter boundaries we could be in for plenty of sixes. Chasing big scores in the second innings isn’t easy, so the side bowling first will look for early wickets to take some of the pressure off their batters.
With sides regularly hitting 200 on this strip, it’s a good bet that we’ll see over 371.5 runs in the match, with both sides packed with strong batting. The Capitals' struggle chasing in their opener does, however, make for enticing odds for betting against a run feast, although on such a runs-heavy pitch the chances of that are slim.
The average score of sides batting first at this ground in the IPL is, however, just 170.02, although that is a slightly misleading statistic over 18 seasons of the tournament.
The Capitals hit 6 sixes in their 6-wicket win, but the bulk of sixes are likely to come from the Mumbai bats. Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma shared 14 sixes between them in their win over KKR. With a top order that includes Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya, I’m banking on Mumbai to win the match sixes race,
Betting Markets to Watch
Total Match Run
The batting-friendly strip should guarantee two high scores in the match.
Score Over/Under Runs
Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma are both in great form, but I’d go with Rickleton as Sharma scores a lot quicker and might just lose his wicket early.
Take Over/Under Wickets
Shardul Thakur was on song for Mumbai, picking up 3/39 in their win over KKR. Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan both picked-up 3-fors in the win over the Super Giants, but Ngidi’s accuracy, pace and bounce should see him rewarded with wickets.
Most Match Sixes
This looks like a battle Mumbai will win, despite the Capitals having home ground knowledge.
Latest Odds
| Market | Odds |

| Delhi Capitals Win | 2.32 |
| Mumbai Indians Win | 1.53 |
| Match to go to a Super Over | 26 |
Verdict
Total Match Runs to top 371.
