DC vs MI highlights: Mumbai Indians clinch maiden win, beat Delhi by 6 wickets

Both Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will be expecting a lot more from their local talent as they search for their maiden victory in their IPL encounter on Tuesday

Both Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will be expecting a lot more from their local talent as they search for their maiden victory in their IPL encounter on Tuesday. Delhi are being forced to go back to the drawing board after three losses in as many games while perennial slow starters Mumbai have also lost two in two. Both have their work cut out in all the departments.

Delhi's top-order was 'Boulted' in the last game, raising questions about Prithvi Shaw's ability against fast bowling. He has been dismissed in different fashion, pace, bounce and swing, in his three innings and there doesn't seem to be a quick fix to his technical issues. With wickets falling at the other end, skipper David Warner has got the runs but it has come at a strike rate of 117. He is expected to do better than that. Replacing Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey lasted only one ball and the veteran batter will be keen to make an impact at Kotla.

Delhi's pacers, including Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed, have been taken to the cleaners and the team must address that issue tonight. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav has been economical but the team expects more from him in the middle overs while Axar Patel has been expensive.

The star-studded Mumbai Indians too have a lot at stake, starting with their explosive top-order which has flattered to deceive so far. Skipper Rohit Sharma looked good before a beauty of a ball from Tushar Deshpande got the better of him against CSK. A special knock from Ishan Kishan too is awaited while million dollar buy Cameron Green is yet to make an impact. The young Tilak Verma has stood out in an otherwise under performing batting department.
