In a much-anticipated rematch, the Delhi Capitals (DC) are gearing up to take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) once again, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. 

Both teams are hungry for a victory, with DC looking to maintain their recent resurgence and MI aiming to climb up from their current eighth position on the points table.

DC vs MI: Team Previews

Delhi Capitals

For DC, skipper Rishabh Pant has been the driving force behind their recent successes. His spectacular batting form, coupled with inspiring leadership, has injected new life into the Capitals. Pant's unbeaten 88* against Gujarat Titans in the previous match showcased his ability to single-handedly turn the tide in his team's favor. 

Supported by Axar Patel's explosive 66 off 43 and Tristan Stubbs's cameo, DC posted a formidable total of 224/4. While their bowling showed some vulnerability, particularly in the last over against Gujarat Titans, DC ultimately held their nerve to secure a crucial victory.

Heading into the clash against MI, DC will be banking on Pant's consistency with the bat and his astute captaincy to guide them to another triumph. Additionally, they will look to address any bowling frailties and maintain their composure under pressure, especially in the crucial death overs.

Mumbai Indians

On the other hand, MI finds themselves in a precarious position after a string of disappointing performances. Despite flashes of brilliance from individual players like Mohammad Nabi and Tilak Varma, MI's overall team performance has been inconsistent. 

The recent nine-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals exposed their batting vulnerabilities and highlighted the need for a collective effort from the team.

As they prepare to face DC, MI will be eager to bounce back and reclaim their winning momentum. With seasoned campaigners like Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan in their ranks, MI possesses the firepower to turn the tables on any given day. 

However, they will need to address their batting collapses and tighten up their fielding to stand a chance against a resurgent DC side.

With scorching Delhi heat, the toss-winning captain is likely to opt for batting first. Expect spinners to thrive on a potentially dry pitch, unlike the previous games.
