Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to clash in the 20th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. The high-stakes encounter will take place on Sunday, April 7, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Both teams have had a disappointing start to their campaigns and will be desperate to secure a much-needed victory to revive their fortunes. MI, led by Hardik Pandya, find themselves at the bottom of the points table, having lost all three of their matches so far. On the other hand, DC, captained by Rishabh Pant, have managed to win just one out of their four games, leaving them in ninth position.
MI vs DC Match Preview
MI’s season has been a forgettable one thus far, with losses against Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals. Their batting has struggled, and the return of Suryakumar Yadav from injury will undoubtedly provide a much-needed boost to their middle order. Jasprit Bumrah has led the bowling attack admirably, but he has lacked support from the other end. DC, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results.
Their sole victory came against the defending champions, Chennai Super Kings, while they suffered defeats at the hands of Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Kolkata Knight Riders. In their previous encounter, DC’s bowlers were hammered, conceding the second-highest team total in IPL history.

MI vs DC Venue and Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium pitch promises to be a fascinating battleground, offering opportunities for both bowlers and batters. Early on, swing bowlers will relish the chance to exploit movement under the lights, while the pitch becomes more spin-friendly as the match progresses, allowing spinners to find purchase and turn the ball.
However, the pitch doesn’t favor brute force; it rewards clean timing. Well-struck balls will easily clear the ropes, making it a batter’s paradise for those who can execute precise shots. Winning the toss could be crucial, as captains might be tempted to bowl first, taking advantage of the early swing and setting a challenging total for the opposition to chase.
