Head-to-Head
As the league is progressing, it is getting tougher by the day! We all saw that happening in last night’s belter at the Wankhede stadium. Now, we move on to the MA Chidambaram stadium for a cracking contest between two top teams. Yes, it is the Delhi Capitals taking on the Mumbai challenge at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai! Both teams are looking are more than just strong going into this contest. While Mumbai Indians have finally found their game back after the loss in their first game, Delhi has looked like a confident team this year and has seems to have all the answers in their bag.
On one hand, there is a team like Mumbai who are 5 times champions and are hands down one of the most toughest teams to play against. Their batsmen are in top form, everyone is contributing to the score board and they also have a solid bowling line-up to back them. On the other hand, Delhi have somehow managed to find the right mix for every match, even when their top player and captain Shreyas Iyer is not playing for them this season. Their top two- Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw are in solid form this season. Their middle order needs to do more hard work and their bowling certainly needs a strategy because although they have somehow managed to save themselves, it may not work as the season progresses.

Pitch Conditions
MA Chidambaram is a bowler’s paradise, and it is extremely hard for batsmen to hold on to their wicket under the lights with dew coming in. The pitch has a lot of turn and will aid the spinners throughout the match. Whichever team makes optimum use of their respective bowling unit will have an upper hand here. However, both teams have solid batting attacks so this could after all turn out to be a high-scoring match.
Batting:
DC:
Delhi is a batting line-up that boasts of some really good hitters from the Indian team like Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane. Dhawan and Shaw are in excellent touch while Pant provides ample support in the middle. Rahane is yet to find a spot in the line-up. Marcus Stoinis helps the team finish well with Shimron Hetmyer. They have not gone for Steve Smith, yet which is a surprise given his ability to hit the ball. Chris Woakes is also a good option in the tail end. All in all their line up looks fairly good to take on a side like Mumbai.
MI:
Mumbai has the most sorted batting line- up. They have Rohit sharma and Quinton De Kock at the top. Then they have youngsters like Ishan Kishan and in-form Suryakumar Yadav. If a team goes past them , then comes the swashbuckling batsman Pollard and then the Pandya brothers at the tail end. It goes on and on till the very end. This means that which ever side is taking them on will have to be ready for some massive hitting and hope that this batting crumbles making blunders otherwise there is truly little chance.
Bowling:
DC:
When it comes to bowling Delhi capitals is not a below average unit. They have got some exceptional talent in every department. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have done really well to keep the team afoot along with Marcus Stoinis. Amit Mishra has been refreshing to watch this season as well youngster Avesh Khan. It will be great if Ravichandran Ashwin can join the party soon. Also, it will be interesting to see which combination they bring out in this contest to strengthen the line-up.
MI:
Their bowling department is looking strong enough to take on the Delhi Capitals. Jasprit Bumrah has displayed why he is the best bowler in the world as he has been maintaining a low economy throughout and will be their go-to bowler in the death overs, there is no doubt about that. He’ll be accompanied by Trent boult and Nathan Coulter-Nile who could make a huge impact this season. They have Piyush Chawla in the spin department and also young pacer Arjun Tendulkar. It will be interesting to see how they pick their mix of bowlers on this slow pitch. They haven’t picked Arjun yet and it will be interesting to see when that happens.
Match Prediction
No matter how unbelievable it may sound, but both teams for this contest are equally placed. Both Mumbai and Delhi have some extraordinary batting in their respective ranks. However, if we talk about bowling then Mumbai has an upper hand here because Delhi without a doubt has suffered with their bowling attack. They have tried multiple options but in vain. Mumbai on the other hand have one of the best bowling attacks right now. They have two best bowlers in the world and that is scary for any team playing against them.
Overall, this is going to be a very tight contest and there is equal chance for every team.
