The two struggling teams – Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals – will face off each other at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai in the 20th match of the tournament on Sunday. While Mumbai conceded 277 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi was smashed for 272 by Kolkata Knight Riders.
Ergo, both teams haven’t been at their best with the ball and they will look to come up with a better bowling show. Hardik Pandya is under the cosh and he will look to get the best out of his players.
On the other hand, Rishabh Pant has made an inspiring comeback, scoring two fifties in the last two matches.
