The 20th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. This match is to be organized at Wankhede Stadium. This match will be played in the afternoon. Both Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are not doing well this season so far. Although Delhi Capitals won one match, Mumbai Indians are still looking for their first win. In the points table, Delhi team is at 9th place and Mumbai Indians are at 10th place. In such a situation, this match is going to be very important for both the teams.
Pitch Report
The pitch of Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium provides a lot of help to the batsmen during T20 cricket. But here in the last IPL 2024 match, while batting first, Mumbai Indians were restricted to just 125 runs. However, fans can expect a high-scoring encounter in the afternoon match on Sunday. Teams batting first have won only five of the 12 T20I matches here, so the captain may prefer to bowl first on Sunday.
Weather Report
It is hot and humid in Mumbai at this time. The maximum temperature on April 7 is likely to be around 35 degrees. The minimum temperature will be 24 degrees Celsius. The toss is to be held at 3 pm. In such a situation, players may have to face heat and humidity.
Match Preview
The start of IPL 2024 has been no less than a nightmare for Mumbai Indians. In batting, Ishan Kishan has not been able to live up to the expectations so far. Rohit Sharma has definitely looked in form, but the middle order of the team has also not been able to perform consistently. Except Jasprit Bumrah, other bowlers of the team have given away runs generously. Sunrisers Hyderabad has also scored the highest score in IPL history this season against Mumbai’s bowling attack.
The bowling attack of Delhi Capitals has also flopped badly so far this season. The team’s bowlers together had spent 272 runs against KKR. Enrique Norcia has not been able to trouble the batsmen much with his pace. At the same time, Ishant Sharma and Akshar Patel have also proved to be very expensive. David Warner and Pant have been seen in good form in batting, but they have not been able to get support from the other batsmen.
