Preview: The 20th match of the IPL 2024 would feature the Mumbai Indians (MI) against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Both teams have had comparable journeys in the current league. MI has lost all of their encounters so far. They are now ranked last and require a win to remain in contention. They would be anxious for a victory. Suryakumar Yadav’s comeback might be a much-needed confidence boost given the influence he brings to the table.
DC is just one rank above MI in the points table. They won one and lost three games. In their most recent game, DC lost by 106 runs to KKR after conceding a bowling unit record 272 runs. It’s the league’s second-highest total ever. With the exception of a few players, they have yet to fire as a unit. The key for them would be to work as a team. Rishabh Pant will have a challenge against the home team.
