IPL Match Today: Pitch Report & DC vs. MI Toss
Delhi Capitals vs. Mumbai Indians IPL Match 2024: In today’s early game, the national capital will witness an incredible battle as the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians and the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals square off in Indian Premier League match number 43 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Both sides have had a dismal IPL 2024, so they will be itching for a victory to start their seasons off well.
Given that the Mumbai Indians are mired in ninth place in the standings, the away team will particularly need to win tonight. Delhi Capitals, who are now sixth in the standings, will also be motivated to win if they want to keep moving up the ladder and secure a postseason berth.
Similar to MI, the host team has had an inconsistent season, displaying flashes of strength mixed with humiliating losses. After five games, both teams have three victories. But, DC enters this match fresh off a thrilling 4-run victory over GT on April 24 at the same location.
