After being asked to bat first, GT scored 224 for the loss of 4 wickets. Apart from Pant, Axar Patel also impressed everyone with a knock of 66 off 43 balls. Rasikh Salam picked up 3 wickets as the Capitals restricted their opponent to 220 for 8.

IPL 2024 Qualification Scenario

Mumbai Indians

MI have blown hot and cold in the tournament until now. After losing 3 games on the trot, they won back-to-back home games, but they have not been able to show enough consistency to go up the table. They will go into the game after losing to the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 9 wickets.

Tilak Varma scored 65 runs off 45 and helped MI post 179 for 9 in 20 overs. Thereafter, Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed an unbeaten 104 as Mumbai slumped to their fifth defeat of the tournament. Piyush Chawla was the only wicket-taker for the Royals in the game against RR.

The outcome of the DC vs MI prediction will depend on how they manage to park aside the disappointment of their loss to the Royals.

Mumbai Indians Possible 11: Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Mohammad Nabi, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah

• Bowler(s): Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Gerald Coetzee
• Recommended captain: Rishabh Pant
• Recommended vice-captain: Rohit Sharma

We have picked Rishabh Pant as the captain of our Dream11 teams simply because of the form he has been in. He is currently third in the list of leading run-scorers in the ongoing edition of the IPL. In 9 games, the left-handed batter has racked up 342 runs at an average of 48.85 and a strike-rate of 161.32 with 3 fifties and a top score of 88 not out top his name. He has also taken 10 catches and affected 3 stumpings.

Rohit Sharma is our vice-captain as he is the top run-scorer for the MI team. In 8 games, the veteran has scored 303 runs at an average of 43.28 and a strike-rate of 162.90 with a hundred against the Super Kings to show for his efforts.

DC vs MI match prediction: Mumbai Indians to win

As per the DC vs MI match prediction, Mumbai Indians will start the match as favourites. Although they lost their previous game to the Royals, Rohit and Co. should be able to make a comeback in favourable batting conditions.

DC vs MI toss prediction: Mumbai Indians to win the toss and field first

As per the DC vs MI toss prediction, teams should opt to field first after winning the toss. Although both games at the venue have been won by the sides batting first, the chasing teams were never out of contention for a win.

Player of the Match prediction: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is arguably one of the contenders to win the Player of the Match award. He has been in exceptional form and has been among the runs. The hundred he scored against CSK should keep him in good stead. Jasprit Bumrah has already won 2 POTM awards and one should not raise eyebrows if he wins his third POTM award.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians betting odds

• Delhi Capitals odds: 2.346
• Mumbai Indians odds: 1.630

The DC vs MI betting odds are tilted towards Mumbai since they have a decent record while playing at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC need to be on top of their game to turn the odds.
