IPL 2024, Match 20: Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals – Match preview and result prediction

The Indian Premier League (IPL) will see a bottom of the table clash as Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium. The early start on Sunday (April 7) will see both sides try to gain some winning momentum as they look to jolt their losing streak. In seven IPL matches between the two teams, they share only one win which highlights the poor form of the teams. This will be the 34th time the team giants face each other in what will be a repeat of the 2020 IPL final.

Mumbai have endured a tough time during the IPL 2024 having lost all three matches including two close ones against Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Mumbai lost to GT by six runs in their season opener while they put up a tought fight against SRH but lost by 31 runs. In their only home game of the season so far they were beaten comprehensively by six wickets by Rajasthan Royals. MI are expecting things to change withthe return of Suryakumar Yadav, who willplay his first competitive game of 2024.

DC’s only win this season came against defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday. Since then they have lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a humiliating display in Vizag. DC were beaten by 106 runs and gave away 272 runs while fielding. They are likely to be without Kuldeep Yadav for the clash as he nurses a groin issue.
