DC vs MI Dream11 Prediction: In a rematch of the IPL 2020 finals, reigning champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on beaten-finalists Delhi Capitals (DC) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday evening (IST).
After starting the defence of their title with a 2-wicket defeat against a spirited Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), MI came into their own in the next two matches, beating KKR and SRH respectively. Delhi Capitals are also sitting in a good spot on the table following two wins in the first three rounds.
MI’s bowling is the best in the league, led by the sensational Jasprit Bumrah, while DC are one of the most destructive batting units. This game has all the ingredients to be a classic. Players from both teams will look to outdo one another. Here are 3 possible match-ups that will define the outcome of the match.
IPL 2021: 3 Players Battles To Watch Out For
1. Jasprit Bumrah vs DC Openers; Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw: Dhawan played massive innings during two huge chases and made the mockery of the opponents formidable total. Shaw has done his part as well.
However, there won’t any loose ball against MI, as in Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma has the most lethal option in T20 cricket. It’s also the other way around considering the form Dhawan and Shaw are in right now.
