Match Prediction
Mumbai have looked phenomenal in the tournament, but they will also keep in mind that they have just lost a match against the SRH. The good thing is that their batting has picked up pace and now every batsman right till the tail end is contributing which makes them an extraordinarily strong batting line-up. Not many teams have been able to contain them till now, and if there is one team that can not only contain them but also take crucial wickets, that would be Delhi. Delhi has been in sublime form when it comes to their bowling attack, They have all the guns ready in their arsenal from spin to pace, from Ashwin to Rabada.
Delhi has won 8 out of their 14 games and will be riding on that confidence while Mumbai will be looking to end their winning-run and claim the number one spot. Both teams look hungry here and it is really hard to put your fingers on one team.
