Mumbai Indians(MI):
There is nothing to worry about for Mumbai Indians. Chennai’s last night win placed Q before Mumbai Indians’ name. Mumbai Indians as a team have evolved a lot. Every single match produces different match winners. Mumbai as a team does not depend on a single player. As a unit, they are comfortable and unbeatable right now.
Mumbai Indians have got quality bench strength. Despite not playing with their regular skipper and opener other players of the team stepped up to play the role and they have done it beyond expectations. Ishan Kishan performing brilliantly in giving a good start to the side in absence of Rohit Sharma while Kieron Pollard Stand-in skipper made sure that the team doesn’t feel left out in absence of the regular skipper.
The last win over Royal Challenger Bangalore by 5 wickets must have boosted their confidence. There is nothing much to worry about for the team and management. It is pretty much clear they will finish in the top 2 in the Points table, thanks to the Net Run Rate and their performance.
Delhi Capitals(DC):
Things are not looking good for the Capitals this time. Start of the Tournament, they were one of the fan favorites and looked pretty much balanced. Things have changed now. Dynamics aren’t similar for the Delhi capitals. The last three games were not good for DC. They have lost all of them, they desperately need to win to make sure they finish somewhere at top 4.
The skipper of Delhi Capitals has lost his touch in recent times, the same goes for Marcus Stoinis. Marcus Stoinis who played the role of match-winner in the first few games by performing brilliantly both with bat and ball isn’t doing well in the recent past. Shikhar Dhawan scored 2 brilliant back to back centuries but was dismissed for a duck in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kagiso Rabada who had a streak of picking at least one wicket in the last 20-25 games has broken his streak. He went wicketless in the last game and was smashed all over the park.
Delhi Capitals needs to make sure that they do not depend on any one player. As a team, they need to bounce back and will be eager to come hard against Mumbai. They will be eyeing to take revenge for their last defeat against Mumbai Indians earlier in the season.
