MI vs DC IPL 2024
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, the two teams at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table will go against each other at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. While Hardik Pandya-led MI still waits for their first victory in the IPL 2024, Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals have won just 1 game out of the four matches they played.
Hardik Pandya is expected to have a word with his batters as they have not done very well in the season so far, while MI bowlers have still shown resistance. For Delhi Capitals, there are some positive trends like Rishabh Pant being back in form, and the team fighting hard as a unit, but still, they need to take that extra effort to bring victories in their corner.
