Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals Predictions

Mumbai Indians have lost all three of their opening matches and are bottom of the IPL table, but they look like they are finding form. The Capitals are one place above them in ninth spot, having won just one of their first four matches.

Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma has scored 25, 64 & 32 in his 3 IPL innings.
Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma has scored 43 & 26 in his last 3 innings.
Delhi Capitals’ Rishabh Pant has scored 28, 51 & 55 in his last 3 innings.
Delhi Capitals’ David Warner has scored 29, 49 & 52 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Mumbai have won the last two matches between the sides, but the Capitals won the previous three.

Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai lost their third match in a row when the Rajasthan Royals beat them by six wickets with 27 balls to spare.

The Royals reduced Mumbai to 20/4 after three first-ballers in the top four. Tilak Varma (32) and Hardik Pandya (34) began to rebuild the innings but when they fell there was no support and they ended on 125/9 off their 20 overs.

Akash Madhwal (3/20) bowled superbly, but couldn’t prevent the Royals from storming home with 27 balls and six wickets in hand.

Mumbai Indians Team News

Mumbai’s bowlers have shown good form, but they urgently need their powerful batting lineup to find form.

Delhi Capitals Form

After picking up their first win of the season against CSK, the Capitals suffered their third loss in a massive defeat at the hands of the Knight Riders.

The Knight Riders amassed the second-highest score in IPL history, ending on 272/7 off their 20 overs. Anrich Nortje (3/59) returned the best figures for the Capitals.

The Capitals were struggling at 33/4 before Rishabh Pant (55 off 25 balls) and Tristan Stubbs (54 off 32) pulled the innings together, but the asking rate was too high and they were bowled out for 166 off 17.2 overs.

Delhi Capitals Team News

The Capitals are full of talent but they need their batters and bowlers to start contributing consistently.

Verdict

Mumbai Indians v Delhi Capitals

I am backing Mumbai Indians to win. I am also backing Tilak Varma to top score for Mumbai Indians.

Rishabh Pant is a good bet to top score for the Delhi Capitals.
