IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians
Mumbai were left short of finances at the auctions after spending 15.25 crore on Ishan Kishan and 8.25 crore on the lesser-known Singapore all-rounder Tim David. As a result, they had to miss out on several of their top performers.
Due to the absence of the Pandya brothers, Quinton de Kock, and Trent Boult, Mumbai will have to work much harder this time to win.
MI's top order of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav will have to score quickly and regularly, while Bumrah will have to strike as often as possible for them to get off to a good start.
Shikhar Dhawan, Marcus Stoinis, and Kagiso Rabada have all been replaced in the Delhi team by David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Mustafizur Rahman, respectively.
Rovman Powell, the hard-hitting all-rounder from the West Indies, will take his rightful place at number six, with Axar Patel at number seven. At 10.75 crore, Shardul Thakur, the team's most costly acquisition, will start at number eight and also handle the middle and death overs.
Due to the absence of Ravichandran Ashwin and Amit Mishra, Kuldeep Yadav is expected to be included in Delhi's starting XI.

Pitch report
In general, the surface at Brabourne Stadium is beneficial to both batters and bowlers; however, the batters have an advantage due to the short boundaries and speedy outfield.
