The 16th IPL match will see Delhi Capitals taking on Mumbai Indians at home ground. Both teams are yet to win this season. The match is very crucial for both the teams as Delhi Capitals has lost all three of its matches this season, and Mumbai Indians have suffered two successive defeats.
The absence of Delhi Capitals’ star player, Rishabh Pant, has been a major factor that has affected their performance so far. In all three of their matches, the team has been outclassed. Parth Jindal, the team’s co-owner, questioned their batting intentions.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have been known for their slow starts in the tournament. Similar to their opponents, they are also struggling with inconsistent batting. The team’s overseas stars are expected to perform better. All eyes will be on one English pacer Jofra Archer Batting for Delhi Capitals. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma’s team is also trying their best to register the first win.
