Mumbai Indians’ skipper, Hardik Pandya, won the toss and elected to bowl first against Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday.
Undoubtedly, Delhi’s biggest asset has been the stellar form of skipper Rishabh Pant. Excelling behind the stumps and displaying free-flowing batting, Pant’s unbeaten knock against Gujarat Titans was match-winning.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians rely heavily on Jasprit Bumrah, their standout bowler. Leading the attack with 13 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 6.37, Bumrah remains pivotal to their strategy.
Delhi Capitals have surged with three wins in their last four matches, securing the sixth spot. In contrast, Mumbai Indians endured a rocky start but recovered with three wins in four matches, only to suffer a crushing nine-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals. Currently placed eighth, Mumbai Indians cannot afford further setbacks.
