In what should be a tightly contested encounter, Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to lock horns against the Delhi Capitals (DC). The upcoming clash is scheduled to take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, April 7. Both teams find themselves languishing at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table, desperate for a win to revive their campaign.
Mumbai Indians will be hoping to turn the tide at home after suffering a heavy defeat against Rajasthan Royals in their first game at Wankhede. They are the only winless team in the season so far, having endured three back-to-back losses. Their batting has been a major concern, collapsing for a meager 125 in their previous outing. The bowling hasn’t fared much better as well, failing to keep the run rate down.
DC’s story isn’t much different. Inconsistent batting and a lackluster bowling attack have hampered their progress. They have shown glimpses of brilliance but haven’t been able to string together consistent performances.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The Wankhede pitch is expected to be a belter, favoring batsmen. This could be a welcome change for both MI and DC, who need their top order to fire. However, with this being an afternoon game, there might be some help for spinners as well, especially in the first innings. Having said that, teams batting second will have a definite advantage.
