Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals will face each other in the 20th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). This match will be played on April 7th at the Wankhede Stadium at 3:30 PM IST.
Ahead of the match, here is a look at the important player stats, the top captain and vice-captain choice, and the player you should avoid in this game.
MI vs DC Important Player Stats (Top Five)
| Players | IPL 2024 Stats | Average Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|
| Rishabh Pant | 152 Runs in 4 Innings | 67.50 |
| David Warner | 148 Runs in 4 Innings | 60.25 |
| Tristan Stubbs | 103 Runs in 3 Innings | 49.75 |
| Tilak Varma | 121 Runs in 3 Innings | 66.00 |
| Khaleel Ahmed | 6 Wickets in 4 Matches | 49.00 |
MI vs DC Toss Factor
The team winning the toss might look to field first as it will be a day game. The wicket at Wankhede will get skiddier under lights and might make it easier for the batters to chase down the target. The first match of IPL 2024 that was played here was a low-scoring affair. But this time, it will be a different wicket, and we expect the ever-known Wankhede stadium to favour the batters.
Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the toss
- Mumbai Indians will back their strong batting line-up and look to chase on winning the toss. Suryakumar Yadav is expected to be back for this game and will be a prime choice in this scenario. Tilak Varma and Rohit Sharma could also be great options from the MI side.
- Jasprit Bumrah is the mainstay of the MI bowling, and if you are going for an MI-heavy fantasy XI, he should be in your team. Gerald Coetzee and Piyush Chawla could also be impactful.
Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the toss
- Rishabh Pant has been the man in form for the Delhi Capitals. Pant should be an obvious choice from the DC side, regardless of the toss result. Besides Pant, David Warner and Trista Stubbs could be beneficial picks.
- Kuldeep Yadav will be a crucial choice if he returns to the playing side. Barring Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, currently the highest wicket-taker for DC, could also be an essential choice.
MI vs DC Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks
Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the match
Suryakumar Yadav (MI)
The star Indian batter will probably be back for MI in this match. Suryakumar will enjoy the conditions at Wankhede and will be a great option as the point multiplier for the game.

Tilak Varma (MI)
This young Indian batter has been MI's brightest prospect at the top order. With his current form, Varma will be a great choice as the C or VC for the game.
Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the match
Rishabh Pant (DC)
The DC-skipper has been in good rhythm with the bat in the tournament. Rishabh Pant is making good use of his current form and scoring runs consistently. He will be one of the best point multipliers for the game.
Khaleel Ahmed (DC)
The Indian left-arm pacer has impressed in all stages of the game. Khaleel has looked efficient in both powerplays and death overs. Choosing him as the C or VC could lead to high returns from the match's fantasy contests.
MI vs DC High Risk, High Reward
Hardik Pandya (MI)
The MI-skipper is yet to find rhythm in either of his trades. However, he looked good with the bat in the previous game. If Hardik Pandya finds rhythm with one trade, he might give points in both innings, helping you earn maximum points if you select him as the C or VC.
Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC)
There has been a news about the injury of Mitchell Marsh. The Australian all-rounder might not be a part of the DC playing unit in this game. In his absence, Frase-McGurk could make his debut in IPL and in that case he could be a high return choice.
MI vs DC Stay Aways
Tim David (MI)
Tim David has looked good with the bat in the chances he will get in IPL 2024. However, he is used a bit too low down the order by Mumbai Indians to make a huge impact in the fantasy XI.
Sumit Kumar (DC)
Sumit Kumar is slotted as an all-rounder in the DC set up. However, he has failed to deliver with either the bat or the ball in the tournament. Given his current form, Kumar could be ignored for this game.
