MI have not been able to tick the right boxes as they have lacked the collective effort with both bat and ball. They could only manage 125 runs against Rajasthan Royals whereas they conceded 277 runs against SRH. SKY will join the team on Friday and it will be interesting to note if he is match fit.
Delhi Capitals: L W L L
DC’s bowling looked toothless in the previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders. All of their bowlers, barring Sumit Kumar, conceded their runs at a run-rate of more than 10. A positive for DC is the form of Rishabh Pant but he will want more from his top order.
