What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Delhi Capitals have eight points from nine games and are sixth in the IPL 2024 points table while Mumbai Indians are eighth with six points from eight games.
Quick DC vs MI Preview
With 16 points needed as a bare minimum to make the qualifiers, both teams know they cannot afford to lose more than one game from the rest of the matches.
And one team will lose this match, leaving them with no option but to win ALL of their remaining games in the tournament.
That’s not a situation that either team will want to get into but more so Mumbai Indians who will have five matches left as compared to the Capitals who will need to win four from four.
Then there’s this case of the momentum.
Delhi Capitals have won three of their previous four games, including one in which they bowled the opposition out for 89 and another in which they scored 224 batting first.
Mumbai Indians have lost two of their previous three and even the game they won was against Punjab Kings – a team below them on the table and also just by nine runs.
While any side can beat any other in this tournament, Delhi look like they are a more sorted unit right now as compared the obviously struggling Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians.
