MI vs DC: Team Preview for Match 63

 

Delhi Capitals (DC)

 

Delhi Capitals face a must-win scenario against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. To stay alive in the playoff race, they need to win both remaining games, a loss will knock them out. Even one win might not be enough unless MI also stumble in their final fixture. DC’s form is worrying, with four defeats in their last five completed matches and Mitchell Starc now unavailable. Axar Patel could be key with the ball, especially up front, given his strong record against Rohit Sharma: three dismissals in 69 balls.

 

 

Key Players of DC: KL Rahul, Axar Patel

 

Mumbai Indians (MI) 

 

Mumbai Indians have a straightforward equation: beat Delhi Capitals on Wednesday and seal a playoff spot. A loss, however, will put their fate in the hands of two other results, including their final match against Punjab Kings. With the best net run-rate (1.156) among all teams, MI will look to avoid unnecessary risks. Their mid-season six-match winning streak has kept them alive. Much will depend on Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav, while the underperforming Rohit Sharma needs to step up at this crucial stage.

 

Key MI Players: Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya
