Series: Indian Premier League 2023
Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians, 16th Match 11th April evening seven thirty PM
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
The 16th game of the Indian Premier League 2023 between the Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians promises to be an interesting contest. Neither side has won a game and shall look for their first points for the season.
The Capitals suffered a big defeat in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals, while Mumbai Indians went down in their first home game against the Chennai Super Kings.
The Delhi Capitals have lost three games in a row, and the camp’s confidence will be low. The top order hasn’t delivered the goods, a major worry for the team heading into this game.
The Mumbai Indians have a stronger batting line-up. The stakes are high for both teams in this game, and we expect a close contest.
Delhi Capitals Preview
David Warner would be a worried man. His side went down by 57 runs in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals. It was their third loss in as many games. The top order has looked in pathetic form and
needs to rise to the challenge. Warner has been in good form, and he must lead from the front and keep the side’s hopes alive for the playoffs.
David Warner has scored runs in all games and will need support from fellow opener Prithvi Shaw, who has made just 19 runs in three games. Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw, and Lalit Yadav must score runs
in the middle order, as this has hurt the side’s prospects in earlier games. The side will also need runs from Axar Patel, Rovmann Powell, and Abhishek Porell towards the end.
The bowling attack has been found wanting on most occasions. The side will need good spells from Anrich Nortje and Khaleel Ahmed with the new ball. Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav,
and Axar Patel haven’t lived up to their reputation, and the side will expect a good show from them.
Mumbai Indians Preview
The most successful team in IPL hasn’t lived up to its name so far. Rohit Sharma’s side went down by 7 wickets in the last game against the Chennai Super Kings. Their batsmen haven’t fired,
and the weak bowling attack has struggled. Sharma would look to put this behind them and come up with a good show in this game.
Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma must put runs on the board at the top. It has been one of the concerns in two games. Suryakumar Yadav must move up to No. 3, and score runs in the middle order
with Cameron Green and Tilak Varma. The side would like to see runs down the order from Tim David, Tristan Stubbs, and Arshad Khan.
Their bowling resources are depleted, and the side will need tight spells with the new ball from Jason Behrendorff and Arshad Khan. Green did well in the last game, and he will need
to bowl in the right areas and stop the flow of runs along with Piyush Chawla. The side will expect a good show from Kumar Kartikeya and Hrithik Shokeen.
Pitch Report
Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is a good venue for batsmen who get their eyes set in. The fast outfield and smaller boundaries allow them to score runs easily.
The wicket is slow, and there isn’t much for the fast bowlers. The spinners enjoy good support from the wicket and have a good record.
key players DC: David Warner, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje , Rilee Rossouw
