Welcome and thank you for joining Super Sunday. Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals today in an important bottom-of-the-table clash and will hope that Suryakumar Yadav’s return from injury gives their campaign a much needed boost.
Both teams are looking to prove themselves. Let’s see how they perform. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan will open for Mumbai Indians (MI).
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals both sit atop their respective Indian Premier League tables with just three wins apiece so far in this edition of the competition. Each side hopes to take a significant step towards success by winning this match, making this an imperative clash with major ramifications for both teams involved.
Delhi’s bowlers kept up the pressure throughout their chase against MI and managed to restrict them to an under par total. While Delhi’s batsmen played well at times but could never put up an adequate total. At times it appeared as though victory might slip away but eventually their bowlers proved victorious in taking away this match victory from MI.
Rishabh Pant won the toss and asked MI to bat first at Wankhede Stadium. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan returned from injury since suffering hamstring strains against Gujarat Titans last time out; Suryakumar Yadav returned after an extended absence with sports hernia issues; Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd Vishnu Vinod Nehal Wadhera Axar Patel Jasprit Bumrah Jasprit Bumrah Piyush Chawla were all part of MI’s batting line-up this time out.
DC was led by its bowling unit which saw Jason Behrendorff, Dilshan Madushanka and Rahul Gupta all producing quality spells – but none more impressive than Jasprit Bumrah who continued his dominance of MI’s batting lineup by picking up four wickets during this match.
Jasprit Jadeja’s excellent bowling in the middle overs allowed Delhi to stay on course with their run rate, picking up required runs in their final over. At the end, only Prithvi Shaw and Abhishek Porel were dismissed by Bumrah during this chase, each recording 16 runs each.
Delhi are coming into this game off an impressive four-run win against Gujarat Titans while Mumbai Indians suffered an embarrassing nine-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals in their previous match. Hardik Pandya’s captaincy has come under scrutiny with three consecutive losses under his command and ongoing criticism of his on-field decisions; Rishabh Pant’s side must find their rhythm again following difficulties early in the tournament.
Head-to-Head Record
As the Indian Premier League moves into its final phase, Mumbai Indians (MI) hope to end their winless run against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Hardik Pandya’s tenure as captain for MI has been disappointing as they currently reside at the bottom of the table while Rishabh Pant has led DC into respectable standings.
Mumbai and DC have met 33 times throughout IPL history, with MI prevailing 18 times while DC claimed 15 victories. When they last clashed in April 2024 at the same venue, MI prevailed by 29 runs to emerge victorious.
Both teams will be looking to end their winless runs, with Mumbai looking to extend its record of consecutive losses while DC trying to end its five-match winless run. Delhi-based DC were soundly defeated by Kolkata Knight Riders in Vizag where they conceded 272 runs while managing only 166 for themselves in return.
However, despite their struggles and losses in recent weeks, both teams appear likely to engage in an exciting matchup. Both have key players from overseas that they hope can help get them back on track after recent losses.
Rishabh Pant will lead Delhi Capitals for the first time since taking over from Rohit Sharma, while Prithvi Shaw looks to put a disappointing home campaign behind him and make an impactful statement in this tournament. Both batsmen will be supported by an effective bowling unit featuring Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Nabi hoping to showcase their abilities on such an important stage. Suryakumar Yadav returns following being sidelined due to a groin injury, though Mitchell Marsh will misses due to hamstring issues – should they win, they would move up from ninth spot and into fifth spot; play starts at 3:30 pm IST
Home Record
These teams have squared off 34 times throughout the history of the Indian Premier League, with MI narrowly holding onto an edge over DC in terms of wins: 18 for MI at home compared with 15 wins by DC away; their last five encounters have yielded three MI wins out of four victories.
Both teams will be eager to secure an important victory, having been placed near the bottom of the points table. Mumbai Indians have yet to record a win while Delhi Capitals have only managed one victory so far.
Capitals outshone Gujarat Titans by four runs during their last match against them, led by Rishabh Pant’s unbeaten 88 and Axar Patel and Sai Kishore with strong bowling performances.
This will be the inaugural meeting between these teams at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This venue has long been considered favorable to batsmen, with multiple big scores being recorded recently at this ground. Recently both sides posted big totals with 257 runs made in first innings alone from both matches at this ground – DC hitting 17 sixes more than any other team!
Prithvi Shaw and Abhishek Porel should both start for the Delhi Capitals in this match after each player displayed strong performances in previous matches. As openers they will look to lead from the front in this important encounter. Unfortunately for them however they will be without captain David Warner and Ishant Sharma who provide some firepower, though Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib’s inclusion will give an added boost – hopefully providing another impressive performance that gets back on winning track after three consecutive defeats; all will be decided come Sunday when this thrilling clash!
Away Record
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have met on 33 occasions throughout IPL history, with Mumbai winning 18 matches while Delhi Capitals 15 — this will mark their 20th meeting and when last they met, Mumbai prevailed by six wickets.
Home team Mumbai holds the advantage in this match; they remain undefeated at Wankhede Stadium during Indian Premier League matches, while Delhi have lost three out of their four away games so far this tournament. Both sides hope for victory in this crucial clash.
Mumbai Indians narrowly defeated Delhi Capitals by six wickets in their previous encounter, thanks to Rohit Sharma’s impressive batting display of 75 off 51 balls with four boundaries and three sixes to lead his side to victory. On the other side, however, Delhi struggled against Mumbai’s high total and were all out for just 133 runs in reply; Trent Boult took three wickets while Dhawal Kulkarni and Ashish Nehra each claimed one wicket for Delhi.
Both teams need a win to remain in playoff contention, and a victory could also give the winning side an edge in avoiding relegation battle. With Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Prithvi Shaw comprising one of the most talented Mumbai Indians sides ever to play IPL cricket, one victory could make all the difference between playoff hopes being fulfilled or dashed for good.
Although Mumbai Indians batting has been impressive, their bowling remains an area of concern. While Jasprit Bumrah and Gurdeep Yadav have proven effective at bowling for the team, other bowlers such as Jhye Richardson, Khaleel Ahmed, Yash Dhull, Ricky Bhui and Anrich Nortje have fallen short.
Mumbai Indians have made several changes for this match, introducing Suryakumar Yadav in place of Naman Dhir. Jhye Richardson and Lalit Yadav will replace Rasikh Salam and Mitchell Marsh respectively. On the other side of things, Delhi Capitals may need to worry about player fitness after several sustained injuries during their last game; Kuldeep Yadav and Navdeep Saini remain doubtful due to ongoing ailments.
