What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
It’s a match between two teams down the points table.
Mumbai Indians have played three matches and they have looked like they have been afflicted by issues that could have well been avoided. Poor captaincy has been a part of this.
Delhi Capitals’ only win has come against the Super Kings but they have had to play four matches to get there. Their last defeat prompted their coach Ricky Ponting to say he was embarrassed by their performance.
Quick MI vs DC Preview
While Mumbai Indians have never been the quickest off the blocks in any season of the IPL, their issues this season have been compounded by the whole saga around Rohit Sharma-management-Hardik Pandya.
And for now, it looks like the only way that can get sorted out is if Mumbai Indians start winning again.
There have been talks from certain quarter that this break between matches – Mumbai last played six days ago – would be a good time for the team and the management to reassess. Some quiet whispers have also pointed to a change in guard with Rohit returning as captain but that looks to be too much of a change at this stage.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have struggled to display any kind of consistency.
Their bowling against Kolkata Knight Riders was so poor that it made their coach question their captain with the only relief for the Capitals being their opponents here have a similar issue.
That doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s tough to see Delhi Capitals manage to restrict a strong batting line Mumbai in the way that Rajasthan had done last game. What Delhi need, instead, is for their batters, Warner, Marsh and Shaw, to take a leaf out of captain Pant’s book and get going.
