DC vs MI Dream11 Match Prediction FREE TEAMS Today IPL Match 31 October

DC vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Delhi Capitals were looking like a certain top 2 team a couple of weeks earlier in the tournament but here they are, not quite sure of even their qualification for the play-offs. With 14 points from 12 matches, they need a win from remaining two matches to avoid a mid-table logjam. In their way today are the defending champions and almost a certainty in top 2 – Mumbai Indians. This will be an afternoon encounter and will be played at Dubai. We will preview DC vs MI Dream11 contest.

Delhi Capitals seem to have lost their momentum at the wrong time as they have lost their last 3 matches. In the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, their bowlers let them down. SRH piled on a massive 219 riding high on brilliant opening stand between David Warner and Wriddhiman Saha. Anrich Nortje and Ravichandran Ashwin were only successful bowlers as only two wickets fell. In reply, only 4 DC batsmen reached to double figures as whole team bundled out for just 131 runs. Rishabh Pant top scored for DC with 36 as this loss affected their NRR very badly.

Mumbai Indians secured their qualification in the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bowling first, bowlers pulled the game back in their favour after a very good start by RCB openers. Jasprit Bumrah was exceptional in the middle overs and played a key part in restricting RCB to just 164 runs with his 3 scalps. In reply, Suryakumar Yadav put on a clinic on his own as he guided MI to a comfortable win in the end. He remained unbeaten on 79 and received good supports from Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya.

In head-to-head comparisons, both the teams are neck and neck with regards to their previous wins. MI have won 13 matches while DC prevailed on 12 occasions in a total of 25 meetings between these two sides. In last 5 matches, Delhi maintain a lead of 3-2 over their Mumbai counterparts. In the first fixture this year, MI beat DC by 5 wickets at Abu Dhabi.

Pitch and Conditions

Dew has been playing a significant role in last week or so at almost all the venues but given that this is an afternoon match, batting first should be an ideal choice for the captains. Pitches also tend to become slower in the second innings during the afternoon and chasing a total may become a difficult thing to do.

DC vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction

Let’s take a look at the squad news and DC Vs MI Dream11 predictions for today’s encounter.

Delhi Capitals Team News

• We may see a change or two in the playing XI of Delhi Capitals after the recent poor performances.
• Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan are likely to continue as openers while Shreyas Iyer will play at number 3 position. Rishabh Pant looked like getting back to his best in the last match with his short stay at the crease.
• Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer should be used in back half of the innings and with two spinners turning the ball into him, Shimron Hetmyer may become an option in the middle overs.
• Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin have done really well as a pair while Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje remained one of the most destructive combinations in terms of number of wickets taken. Harshal Patel is likely to be in contention today in our DC vs MI Dream11 prediction.

Mumbai Indians Team News

• Rohit Sharma is not yet fit and Mumbai Indians won’t be taking any chances with him as they have already qualified for the play-offs.
• Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock will begin the proceedings for them and both have done more than just decent jobs in the absence of Rohit Sharma.
• Suryakumar Yadav will be their number 3 while Saurabh Tiwary and Krunal Pandya will be used as left-hand options in the middle order if needed. Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard are in terrific form and have played some decisive knocks in the late overs.
• Jasprit Bumrah is capable of turning the match on its head as we saw in the last match while Trent Boult and James Pattinson have also bowled well with the new ball so far. Rahul Chahar has played the match-ups quite well in his favour.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Shikhar Dhawan is second on the list of leading run-scorers this year with 471 runs at an average of 52.33. He has rewound the clock this year and has played like a Shikhar Dhawan of his own with no fuss approach. He looks the best bet from Delhi Capitals’ batting order today. He made 69* in the first meeting against MI this year.
• Suryakumar Yadav looked in ominous touch in the last innings against RCB and there are no reasons why he can’t repeat the same performance today. He has been knocking on the doors of India selections but having been ignored in recent Australia tour selection, he would be having a point to prove. He has scored 362 runs from 11 innings so far.
• Jasprit Bumrah is finding his mojo at the right time for the defending champions. He can make impacts at literally any stage of a T20 innings as we saw in the last match. With DC middle order slightly short on runs recently, he is an ideal candidate for second half of the innings.

For Grand Leagues

• Ravichandran Ashwin can be a differential pick today in the grand leagues. With as many as 4 left-handers to bowl at, he can wreck havoc in the middle overs. He can take the new ball as well today as Quinton de Kock hasn’t had good times against off-spinners in the past.
• Kagiso Rabada is a no-brainer given his ability to pick up wickets. He went wicketless for the first time in last 25 IPL matches and would be surely hoping to make up for that today. He has 23 scalps this year and can be proved very effective against the likes of Saurabh Tiwary, Krunal Pandya and Kieron Pollard.
• Hardik Pandya is another differential pick for the captaincy position. He is a risk-reward option only because of his limited game time. If MI bat first, he has far better chances of making an impact compared to chasing. He is not likely to bowl at any stages of the season, so he should only be looked at as a batting option with higher boundary percentages.

Who will win DC vs MI Today Match Prediction?

As per our DC vs MI Today Match Prediction, Mumbai Indians are favourites to win this clash against Delhi Capitals. While MI are sitting comfortably at the top, DC need to win this match to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on them in the last league match. The Capitals would be a force to be reckoned with again if their middle order starts firing towards the business end.
