Pitch and weather

Tonight’s DC vs MI showdown takes place at the Feroze Shah Kotla in Delhi’s backyard. So far this season, the pitch at the Kotla has turned a bit. This kind of a turn would ideally turn in scores within the range of 150 and 160. There is also the dew to contend with, as early rain showers are expected in the capital.

Prediction for match result

Delhi have been riding on a high with three wins on the trot in their last five matches. Mumbai, on the other hand have won four of the last five matches. The edge probably goes to Delhi owing to the home ground factor. However, the match could swing either way as Mumbai have a better away record than Delhi has a home record.

Conclusion

The Indians will also be seeking revenge for their loss to Delhi at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. So, it begs the question, who will come out on top and be a step closer to the Super Kings?
