Today Match Prediction for DC vs MI Dream11:Delhi Capitals will be looking to go on ahead on their winning run here after winning against the Punjab Kings in very convincing Fashion. Their key players have been doing really well here and in particular their top order is going to be very important in how they line up here. This pitch though is a different kettle of fish with the Chennai wicket being tacky and assisting spin. Mumbai have played all their games in Chennai so far and it has been a spectacle to watch them defend totals out here and they have been doing really well right now. The key here is going to be whether the Delhi team can manage the Chennai conditions. The toss becomes a factor here too as teams that bat first win most here
DC will also be all too familiar with how Trent Boult ripped through their top order in the 2020 final, but Boult has proven to be a thorn in their flesh right through the qualifier and league stage as well in that edition. One of the battles that could set the tone early is when he runs into Prithvi Shaw. Boult dismissed Shaw three times in three encounters last season, and played a big part in forcing the right-hander to relook at his game.
Tactics & Matchups - Legspinner Amit Mishra could find a spot in the final eleven at the cost of a pacer, given his potency against Rohit Sharma (6 dismissals) and the tacky nature of the Chepauk surface.
Delhi Capitals Playing 11 (likely)
Shikhar Dhawan – His performances here have been commendable and it is his performances in their two wins with the 90s in both games. He is in the form of his life and has scored 186 runs in 3 games with a strike rate of over 160.
Avesh Khan – He is their highest wicket taker here and it is definitely going to be a game where he is going to look to capitalize on his cutters and get the batsmen early into his shots. He already has 6 wickets from 3 games.
Mahela Jayawardene mentioned a shoulder niggle for Hardik Pandya, and that could play a factor in influencing their decisions.
Tactics & Matchups: Rishabh Pant has been dismissed 5 times by Bumrah in 33 balls. Bumrah also has a positive match-up record against Steve Smith which could incite a change in how the pacer is used against Delhi Capitals.
Mumbai Indian Playing 11
Trent Boult – While this is a pitch that has favored the spinners. The class of Boult has shone through and it is going to be one more game where they will be relying on him for wickets at the death and adding to his 6 wicket tally
Rahul Chahar – He has been the game changer for his team and has picked up 7 wickets in 3 games. This is the biggest threat here for this team and the opposition would probably look to play him out
Mumbai Indians will probably be winning this one and it is their experience on this ground that should make them be the better team here. It is for Delhi to show up and be a tough opponent for the 5 time champions . DC vs MI Dream11 today match prediction
