Delhi Capitals are set to host Mumbai Indians in the second match of a double-header at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium.
The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM, marking Delhi’s first home game of the season.
Delhi is riding high after winning all four matches, while Mumbai is struggling with four losses in five games.
The stadium has hosted 89 IPL matches, with the team batting second winning 46 times and the team batting first winning 42 times.
The team that wins the toss has a slight edge, winning 45 matches compared to 43 for the team that loses the toss.
Key Stats
- The highest score is 266, achieved by SRH against DC.
- Chris Gayle and Rishabh Pant hold the record for the highest individual score with 128 runs each.
- Lasith Malinga’s 5/13 against DC for MI is the best bowling spell.
Head-to-Head
The two teams have clashed 35 times, with Mumbai holding a slight edge, having won 19 matches to Delhi’s 16.
Pitch Conditions
The stadium’s short boundaries favor batsmen, making it an ideal ground for high-scoring matches.
Tossing a coin and deciding to bowl first could be a good strategy.
Fast bowlers might get more support than spin bowlers.
A score around 210 is a good target, while chasing a total below 200 should be manageable.
