Delhi Capitals will face Mumbai Indians in the 43rd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024). The DC vs MI match is scheduled to take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The upcoming game will be the second meeting between the two teams. MI won the first meeting by 29 runs and will be desperate to win the second game too to get back to winning ways and revive their campaign. MI comes into this game having suffered a 9-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals in their last game and will be hoping for a much-needed win today.
With just three wins from five games, they are currently ninth in the points table. DC, on the other hand, is in sixth place with four wins from nine games. A win today against MI will put DC firmly in the playoff race. They will be confident after a good four-run win over Gujarat Titans in the last game and will be looking for another win today to continue their recent good run.
DC vs. MI: Impact Players
MI won the toss and elected to bowl first. After winning the toss, MI captain Hardik Pandya said: “We will bowl first. The floor is small. It’s better to bat second on smaller ground. Every game is a new game, we make sure we don’t get eliminated. We continue to fight and progress hard in every game.” The mood is good, happy conversations, everything is fine. Anyone can beat anyone and do their best. “
DC captain Rishabh Pant said: “We wanted to bat first. I think it slows down in the second inning. It’s been amazing, we’re getting the kind of wickets we want. As a team we have to play well and we did. That’s something we talked about – how to control the innings with the new ball and bowling at the death is one or the other that makes the difference. Just one change, Privthvi Shaw misses out and Kumar Kushagra comes on.
