DC vs MI Dream11 Prediction | Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians IPL 2019

The two sides vying for the second spot on IPL 2019 points table, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, face-off at Ferozshah Kotla on Thursday night. Both the sides come into the contest riding high on the back of scintillating last performance in the competition.

Delhi Capitals have found some rhythm at last after early middle-order collapses. According to DC captain, the title is not far if they stick together and replicate the last few performances.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians look settled in the batting department but have a few concerns in the bowling. They would turn to bowlers to raise their game to make the second spot theirs.

Captains react after last games

We are believing so and it’s never too far (if they can win IPL). We will be backing our abilities.

– Shreyas Iyer, Delhi Capitals captain

His (Hardik) hitting has been helping the team and him as well, to move forward. It gives us confidence as a team that there is someone who can hit that well at the end and win crucial games. Lasith’s performance matters a lot to us. We missed him for a few games.

– Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians captain

Pitch conditions: The last game played at the venue was a low-scoring affair, with slow bowlers having a ball.

DC vs MI Dream11 Team

Dhawan, Pant love MI bowling – Here’s a clear case of Dream11 captain. Dhawan has scored 82*, 48, 62*, 45, 5, 43 (recent last) in his last six innings against Mumbai. Meanwhile, Pant has scores of 47, 64 and 78*(recent last) against MI in last three meetings.

Krunal, Pant’s nemesis? – The swashbuckling Delhi wicket-keeper batsman has fallen to Krunal Pandya on two of three games. A ploy for Rohit for sure.

Pollard vs Rabada – Kagiso Rabada vs Keiron Pollard can be very interesting battle. Pollard has been dismissed by pace bowlers 4 times out of last five.

Rohit’s struggles against Delhi – Rohit doesn’t have convincing numbers against Delhi. He has registered 18, 13 and 14-run scores in the last three outings against them.

Ishant vs MI openers – Ishant Sharma dismissed both de Kock and Rohit the last time these two sides met. Can he get a double here?
