Hardik Pandya, the MI skipper has won an important toss at the Arun Jaitley Stadium against Delhi Capitals and has decided to bowl first. Mumbai Indians have made one change with Gerald Coetzee out with stomach bug and Luke Wood has replaced him.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand have taken a bold decision to drop Prithvi Shaw who has done decently, and have decided to rope in hard-hitting batter Kumar Kushagra. Lizaad Williams is also making his debut and has replaced Anrich Nortje.

The matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium have been high-scoring so far and with this being a day game, we might see another run-fest. Both teams have quality batters in their arsenal, but for both teams, death-bowling has been an issue, and it would be interesting to see how things pan out.

Earlier this season, Mumbai Indians outclassed Delhi Capitals at Wankhede and Rishabh Pant & co. would be eyeing a revenge after a thumping win against Gujarat Titans. Let's see how things unfold at the national capital in this double-header Saturday.
