DC need to win big to pip RCB

Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has won the toss and invited Delhi Capitals to bat at the Wankhede in Mumbai on Saturday.

While MI make two changes, DC bring in Shaw for Lalit.

Teams:

Playing XIs

Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Sarfaraz Khan, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Daniel Sams, Tilak Varma, Dewald Brevis, Tim David, Ramandeep Singh, Hrithik Shokeen, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith, Mayank Markande

Delhi Capitals will have their fortune in their own hands as they aim to pull all stops against Mumbai Indians in what will be a virtual quarter-final clash for Rishabh Pant's men as far as their IPL 2022 play-offs hopes are concerned.

The equation is as simple as it can get for Delhi (NRR: +0.255) as they simply need to beat Mumbai to pip Royal Challengers Bangalore (-0.253) on a better net run rate.

While Delhi have everything to play for, Mumbai will like to cap off the season on a winning note although it would count for little for the five-time champions, who suffered due to their poor auction strategy.

While Mumbai have endured their worst season this time, Delhi have been guilty of inconsistency with seven wins and six defeats in their 13 games.

Infact, it was their victory over RCB in the previous game that ensured back-to-back wins for them.

There have been days when Delhi have been extra-ordinary, with a David Warner (427 runs) or Mitchell Marsh (251 runs) or Rovman Powell (207 runs) upping the ante in batting. Spinners Kuldeep Yadav (20 wickets, 8.45), Axar Patel (6 wickets, 7.37) and Lalit Yadav (4 wickets, 8.33) have also done a decent job with the ball in a number of games.

However, there are two areas where Delhi have floundered this season. One has been the pace department which has blown hot and cold throughout, save Khaleel Ahmed (16 wickets at 8.08). Shardul Thakur despite his 13 wickets has conceded runs at more than nine runs per over.

What has worked for Delhi towards the business end is Marsh's batting form and his two half-centuries which has gone a long way in keeping them alive.

As far as MI is concerned, the less the said about this season, better it is for them.

Save Tilak Varma's emergence as a stylish batter, and the hard-hitting Tim David, who has taken over the mantle from Kieron Pollard, there is not much to write home about.
