IPL 2021, MI vs DC: Today match players list & umpires
Mumbai Indians (MI) will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 46 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in Sharjah on Saturday. It will be the first game of the double-header.
MI kept their playoff hopes intact by getting the better of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the previous encounter. They still weren’t at their best but given that they had lost the earlier three matches, MI would have taken it. With five wins from 11 games, they cannot afford to slip now.
DC are sitting easy with 16 points from 11 games. But they should be disappointed with their lethargic effort against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Although they have been among the best teams in IPL 2021, DC will not want to lose momentum heading into the playoffs.
