After three defeats to start the tournament, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are all set to play the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 20th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). The game will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 7th at 7:30 PM IST. 

Mumbai Indians are currently lingering at the bottom of the table and still waiting for their campaign's first points. While things have just gone south for the unit in IPL 2024, the news of Suryakumar's fitness and return to the unit will uplift the mood of the camp and the fans. 

While they cross swords against the Capitals for their first points, three players could be the match-winners in this game.

Wankhede Stadium has traditionally been a batting-friendly surface. We have seen some of the highest totals in the tournament's history being scored here. However, in the first match, we noticed that the seamers had a great advantage. But that was a fresh wicket, and it is expected that it will not be used for this game. 


3 Important players for DC vs MI

Ishan Kishan 

It has so far been a moderate tournament for this Indian wicket-keeper batter. However, Ishan Kishan has an excellent record against the Delhi Capitals. In the eight innings that Kishan has played against DC, he has scored 374 runs at an average of 93.5 and a strike rate of 150.8. Thus, this might well be the game where he regains his form and emerges as the match-winner for MI. 

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav is expected to return for MI in this game. Even though it will be his comeback match, the MI fans will enjoy his record at Wankhede. He has played 26 innings at Wankhede and scored 873 runs in them at an average of 38.0 and a strike rate of 157. These numbers indicate that SKY might make a grand entry into IPL 2024. 

Jasprit Bumrah

In this tournament, Jasprit Bumrah has looked in a good rhythm with the ball. However, he does not have the numbers in the wickets column to prove his form in the tournament. Bumrah has played ten matches against DC and picked up 15 wickets at an average of 18.10 and a strike rate of 15.70. Thus, Bumrah could boost his wicket numbers in this game and become a match-winner for the team.
