Pitch and Weather Conditions:
Weather can play spoil sport for the game between DC and MI. It’s expected to be cloudy the entire day, and thunderstorms are expected throughout the evening. However, if weather doesn’t end up playing spoil sport then you can expect a good high scoring thriller because the Delhi has been home to a few high scoring games in the recent past. Dew is expected, so bowling first won’t hurt.
Prediction:
Both teams have a good chance in this match. Delhi do have the home advantage, which always helps, but if you compare the two sides, Mumbai looks more balanced overall. They have strong batting and world-class bowlers, making them solid in all departments. And they just look look and feel like a better team, and they look like they can get the job done. They look like the old Mumbai Indians. We are going with Mumbai Indians to take the two points home.
If you want to see Delhi Capitals play against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley stadium, then tune into JioHotstar at 3:30 PM IST tomorrow.
Until next time!
Thank you.
