Mumbai Indians have pulled their socks to face Delhi Capitals at their fortress Wankhede Stadium. The match will start at 3.30 PM
Previously, both teams have clashed against each other in 33 IPL matches, out of which Mumbaikars have the upper hand with 18 wins and Delhiites have come victorious on 15 occasions
Under fire, Mumbai Indians have lost three consecutive matches under Hardik Pandya's captaincy. The hosts will be eager to register their first win of the tournament
Struggling MI will likely acquire the services of their key batsman Suryakumar Yadav ahead of the DC encounter. The veteran has returned to the side after missing out on a few matches due to his recovery process
The point to watch out for is who will make way for Suryakumar for today's Wankhede encounter. Naman Dhir at number three has delivered performances in most of the matches. Will he be benched due to Yadav's return?
Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals coming with the same background will look to backfire. So far, the side has won just one match out of four. Prithvi Shaw's inclusion can be beneficial for the side as the Mumbai lad will be well aware of the Wankhede track
