When the last time these two teams met, Mumbai Indians secured their first victory of the season at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Romario Shepherd smashing 32 runs in the last over of Anrich Nortje is still fresh in viewers' minds.
Similarly, a high-octane game is expected between the two highly competitive sides. The five-time champions MI have not performed according to their regular flavour this season. They are currently at number eight in the points table and desperately need to win the next few matches to secure a spot in the top four.
The Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals have won their last three out of four matches and are at number six. The captain's form has been the biggest positive for the DC, whereas Ishant Sharma and David Warner's injuries are bigger concerns. They have addedAfghan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib as Mitch Marsh's replacement for the rest of the tournament.
