MI v DC, 46th IPL Match Preview:

Mumbai Indians batting revived itself in the last match after a poor few games. Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock have been giving good starts to the team. The addition of Hardik Pandya is a positive, while Saurabh Tiwary has been consistently scoring runs. 

Kieron Pollard is the key player for them who is not only a hard hitter but can also turn the match from his bowling. Watch out for Rahul Chahar, who hasn't had much success in the UAE leg but will be rearing to go with T20 World Cup nearing. 

Delhi Capitals' batting has taken a hit after injuries to opener Prithvi Shaw and finisher Marcus Stoinis. While Shaw is likely to make a comeback, but Stoinis will still remain unavailable. DC remains highly dependent on Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant to score runs. 

Delhi's bowling, however, is at its peak. Every bowler is performing and taking wickets. Avesh Khan is a key bowler. 

MI v DC, 46th IPL Match Prediction:

This is a potential nail-biter of a game. Both teams have strong bowling lineups and inconsistent batting. Delhi Capitals will start favorites in this match.

• Total – 29
