Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Delhi Capitals in the 20th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Mumbai Indians have faced a setback in their IPL 2024 campaign, suffering three consecutive losses. The five-time champions have struggled to find consistency, with their newly appointed captain yet to taste victory.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals have had a poor start to their IPL 2024 campaign, having won only 1 out of their 4 matches so far.
The likes of David Warner and Rishabh Pant have performed well for the side. However, the team has encountered challenges in finding the right balance and rhythm, often faltering in the middle overs.
#1. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan consistently performed impressively against Delhi Capitals. The explosive wicket-keeper batter has frequently frustrated the Capitals’ bowling attack with his aggressive stroke play and ability to score quickly. He should be considered an excellent fantasy pick for MI vs DC.
#2. David Warner
David Warner has an exceptional IPL record against Mumbai Indians. He has looked good so far, scoring 148 runs in four games this season.
His knack for providing quick starts and setting the tone for the innings makes him a strong fantasy choice, especially when facing the Mumbai bowling attack.
#3. Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma loves playing against DC, with his second-highest run total against any franchise coming against DC, scoring 977 runs in 33 games. Given Rohit’s excellent track record and the Mumbai Indians’ need for a strong performance, the experienced opener should be considered a top fantasy pick for the upcoming clash against DC.
#4. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya has struggled to replicate his past success in the ongoing IPL 2024 campaign. His batting form has been inconsistent, and he has yet to showcase his all-round abilities truly. Despite the recent dip in form, Pandya’s proven track record against Delhi Capitals and his match-winning potential make him a fantasy option to consider. His ability to contribute valuable points through runs, wickets, and even catches/run-outs could prove crucial, especially if he can rediscover his best form.
#5. Rishabh Pant
Pant has looked good with the bat this season, scoring 152 runs in four games. The dynamic wicket-keeper batter should be considered a top fantasy pick for the upcoming clash between the two sides given his current form.
#6. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav’s ability is not hidden from anyone, and we are all well aware of it. The Mumbai Indians stalwart has performed well against the Capitals, making him an enticing fantasy pick upon his return from injury.
#7. Jasprit Bumrah
Bumrah’s ability to restrict the flow of runs and pick up crucial wickets, along with his effectiveness in bowling both at the start and the death, makes him a top pick for this outing.
#8. Axar Patel
Axar may not have been in touch this season so far, but he can shine with both the bat and the ball. He has 12 wickets and 253 runs from 19 games against MI in the IPL.
#9. Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla has a strong record against the Delhi Capitals in the IPL. The Mumbai Indians bowler has often found success against the Capitals, making him an intriguing fantasy pick for this matchup.
#10. Anrich Nortje
Nortje is the default choice against MI given that the pitch suits pace bowlers, as seen in the previous game. He has taken seven wickets in as many games against MI.
