DC vs MI team news
Delhi Capitals suffered a major blow as their skipper and star batsman Rishabh Pant was ruled out of IPL 2023 following a car accident a few months back.
Australian David Warner, their best batsman last season, has taken over as the new captain.
Delhi released five players in a mini-auction last year and purchased bowler Mukesh Kumar. The team has retained most of its IPL 2022 squad, though, and also coach Ricky Ponting.
Though Pant is out of the tournament, the team still has a strong squad, including Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel, Sarfaraz Khan, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman, Lungi Ngidi, Khaleel Ahmed, Mitchell Marsh, and Kuldeep Yadav.

For MI, you cannot look past the batting strength, starting with Rohit Sharma, who these days is an adaptable T20 batter but does his best work in the powerplay overs. Then there's Suryakumar Yadav, who can operate up and down the order but has made his name as one of T20 cricket's best and most innovative 'finishers'.
Mumbai Indians paid big bucks for Cameroon Green who is growing into one of the world's most sought-after white-ball stars for his ability with bat and ball. He might have his own personal rivalry with Punjab Kings and England all-rounder Sam Curran, with the duo having fetched the biggest fees at the last draft.
Then there are the unheralded stars of this Mumbai Indians squad: the likes of wily leg-spinner Piyush Chawla and canny Aussie left-arm quick Jason Behrendorff.
DC vs MI prediction
- Result prediction: Mumbai Indians to win.
The Mumbai Indians' two losses have been close, with the result possibly going either way.
On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals have been beaten quite comprehensively and have failed to test their opposition so far.
DC vs MI best bet
- Pick: Mumbai Indians to win.
- Odds: 1.78 (Dafabet)
The Mumbai Indians simply must win.
Boasting a strong IPL squad, they have the talent and the means to win games and push for the championship.
However, after a slow start to the season, a game like this against a struggling franchise could be critical as a springboard for the rest of the competition.
DC vs MI flier bet
- Pick: David Warner to make 50
- Odds: 3.30 (Dafabet)
The Australian opener has been the one shining light for Delhi early this season. Warner is averaging over 50 runs per match and has been a consistent force.
Having to face the likes of Kumar Singh, Green, Behrendorff and Arshad Khan, the Capitals will need Warner to make some runs if they are to have a chance of causing an upset.
