MI vs DC Prediction
Mumbai Indians are yet to secure their first victory in the IPL 2024 campaign, facing defeats against Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals in their initial three games. Despite the challenging start, the potential return of Suryakumar Yadav could provide a much-needed boost for the team.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have won one out of four matches and aim to improve their performance, especially their bowling strategy, after a lack of intelligence and variety in their previous game against KKR. Going up against Mumbai Indians, currently below them in the standings, Delhi Capitals will be hopeful of clinching their second win in the tournament.

Two established IPL teams face off in this match, currently positioned at the bottom of the standings. Despite their low rankings, both teams boast significant experience and talent.

Our prediction favors Mumbai Indians to secure a win in the upcoming match.
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals – Top Batters
For Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav are our top batting picks. Despite a recent golden duck, Rohit’s extensive T20 career boasts over 11,200 runs. Yadav, with an IPL average of 32.17, has consistently performed well, averaging over 40 in three of the last four seasons.
Delhi Capitals’ batting lineup includes David Warner, Rishabh Pant, and Tristan Stubbs. Stubbs showcased his potential with a 50 at a strike rate of 168.75 in the last game, while Warner, despite a recent low score, has already amassed 148 runs this season.
MI vs DC Prediction & Tips – Top Bowlers
Mumbai Indians’ bowling lineup features Jasprit Bumrah, Piyush Chawla, and Akash Madhwal. Madhwal impressed in the previous game by dismissing key batters like Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Delhi Capitals’ bowling options include Ishant Sharma, Anrich Nortje, and Axar Patel. Axar, despite conceding 18 runs in his last over, is anticipated to fare better on the Mumbai pitch. Ishant’s experience was evident in the final over of the previous match, and with two 4+ wicket hauls in T20s, he remains a threat to the opposition.
