The Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off in today’s IPL match at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on April 7. The first game of the day is scheduled to begin at 3:30 pm.
Since MI hasn’t won an IPL game yet and Suryakumar Yadav is returning from a lengthy injury, today’s game will be crucial for the team. To win its opening game, the team will mainly depend on his hitting prowess. However, MI is likely to stay at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table even if it wins today’s match. Out of the four games played, DC has only won one, and MI will be on the same podium. MI is unlikely to rise unless its net run-rate improves. Mumbai has so far participated in three games and has lost each one. The team’s captain, Hardik Pandya, has come under fire for his decisions made on the pitch since taking over for Rohit Sharma in the past.
