Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Prediction & Betting Tips -
by Devesh Jaganath | in Indian Premier League Predictions
The Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will face off in match 43 of the 2024 Indian Premier League at lunchtime on Saturday. The hosts are currently in sixth place in the league standings, while the visitors are eighth. The Delhi Capitals have been a total mixed bag this season, but they will come into this match with confidence after successfully defending 224/4 against the Gujarat Titans on Wednesday evening. Rishabh Pant put on a Player of the Match performance, blasting 88*(43), and he was supported well by Axar Patel, who added 66(43). Rasikh Salam and Kuldeep Yadav did the damage with the ball, picking up 3/44 and 2/29, respectively. That result has taken the Capitals to eight points after nine games, two points below the top four teams. Pant’s knock in the last match sees him now ranked third in the race for the orange cap with 342 runs in the competition, while Yadav is fourth in the purple cap standings. However, DC were beaten by this opponent by 29 runs at the start of the month and are the clear underdogs in this one.
Meanwhile, time is running out for the Mumbai Indians to earn themselves a playoff spot. They head to the nation’s capital following a fairly comprehensive nine-wicket defeat against the league-leading Rajasthan Royals last week. Tilak Varma top-scored with 65(45) in the defeat, while Piyush Chawla took the only wicket for them in the match as Yashasvi Jaiswal propelled the Royals to victory. That result left Mumbai on six points after eight matches and a net run rate of -0.227. Despite their struggles, MI have managed a few excellent individual performances. Rohit Sharma has passed 300 runs in the competition, while Jasprit Bumrah is the current purple cap holder with 13 wickets, and Gerald Coetzee is just one wicket behind him. With only five games to go in the group stages after this one for MI, this feels like a must-win for the five-time champions.

Our Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Prediction
Based on both these team’s records this season, it’s difficult to back either of them with any real confidence; therefore, we’ll steer clear of the win/loss market. While both sides have failed to impress this year, their batting units have been doing well, and Rohit Sharma, in particular, seems to have found a nice vein of form recently. Against a mediocre bowling attack, we feel the former MI skipper will have another solid knock at the top of the order. Our Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians prediction: Rohit Sharma Over 24.5.
