Both teams are winless so far in the competition and by the end of this day, there will be one team that will open its account on the points table with two vital points in their kitty.
MI – who are coming on the back of two successive defeats – will be led by their inspirational and five-time IPL-winning captain Rohit Sharma. While Delhi Capitals – who are languishing at number 10 in the points table with three defeats – are being captained by David Warner.
Warner – who lifted the IPL trophy in 2016 as Sunrisers Hyderabad captain – will be aiming to lead his team from the front because four consecutive defeats in the first half of the season will certainly dent his team’s morale badly.
Mumbai Indians – who also finished tenth in the previous edition – will be aiming to change their fortunes in the new season but their performance in the first two games has been disappointing.
MI’s batting has been below-par as big names in the team like Rohit, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tim David have all failed to deliver. However, young Tilak Varma has certainly raised his stocks in the tournament.
Delhi Capitals’ storyline hasn’t been any different as coach Ricky Ponting’s side has failed to put up a combined effort. Their key batters, including skipper Warner, have let the team down and bowlers leaked runs at critical stages.
Against Mumbai, the hosts would be aiming to return to winning ways and kick-start their campaign in the tournament with a victory.

Tom Moody on Warner’s batting in IPL 2023
Former Australia cricketer Tom Moody reckons Delhi Capitals skipper David Warner should increase the tempo because scoring runs at a brisk pace is crucial for the side in powerplay overs.
Speaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, Tom Moody said, “It’s not just the volume of runs David Warner needs to score for Delhi Capitals. He also needs to set the tempo in the powerplays, which has gone a little down. I would love to see him take the game head-on early, especially when the Impact Substitute rule provides the team more flexibility.”

Sunil Gavaskar on MI’s performance in IPL 2023
Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar blamed the lack of crucial partnerships behind MI’s struggle in IPL 2023.
Speaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, Sunil Gavaskar said, “MI’s biggest problem since last season till date has been the lack of partnerships.
