Mumbai Indians would be hoping for their second away victory of the season in this game.
Preview
In the 43rd match of the Indian Premier League 2024, Delhi Capitals will host five-time winners Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Both teams need a win to further boost their chances of qualifying for the playoffs this season. They sit next to each other in the points table, and a win in this game for either of these two sides can be of immense value.
The hosts, Delhi Capitals, are enjoying a good run of form as they have won two of their last three games. The team management might have finally found the right players for the playing XI and are sticking to the winning combination more often than not. A win in this game can bump up the chances for qualification to the playoffs.
Mumbai Indians are coming into this game on the back of a disappointing performance against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. They have won just three out of their eight matches so far in the Indian Premier League and are desperate for a win in this game to keep their hopes for qualification in their own hands.

Pitch Report
Captains
This new attacking version of Rohit Sharma has been a delight to watch and he has been scoring the bulk of runs for the franchise this season.
This season with the kind of form he is in, Rishabh Pant does not look like he is coming after a long hiatus and his last innings in the tournament is proof of what he can do once he gets set at the crease.
There is no doubt that Suryakumar Yadav can turn the tide of the match in an instant and his knocks at number three have been crucial for the side this season.
