Next up in the Vivo IPL 2021 is a fascinating contest between the Delhi Capitals and the Mumbai Indians. It is a repeat of last year's final. Both the teams have played three, won two and lost once. DC will be looking to build upon their form against the Punjab Kings where they chased down a target of 196 runs with fare ease.
Steve Smith could be given another chance after his scratchy innings of 9 runs against PBKS. Chris Woakes could give way for Anrich Nortje as they would be looking for more discipline from their seamers. On the other hand, we have MI who haven’t found their best form yet but look strong nevertheless.
They have won their last two games with the help of some quality bowling at the backend of the innings. They have not yet crossed the 160 runs mark in their three matches but their bowling has defended inadequate targets and we do not expect much change in their lineup as always. Last season the two sides met four times and MI was the winner in every match. Can DC come back to winning ways against an old enemy?

DC vs MI IPL 2021 Pitch Report:
The pitch at Chepauk has been a heaven for spinners. But the seamers have also done quite well in the recent matches. For the first time this season, a side breached the 200 runs mark on Sunday. RCB managed a total of 204 runs in their quota of 20 overs against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
We don't expect a high scoring game this time though. But with such quality batting on either side, nothing is impossible. A score of around 160 would be a fighting score at this venue. Both the captains will be looking to bowl first upon winning the toss as dew could play a major factor later on into the match.
