Next up in the Vivo IPL 2021 is a double header Saturday. The first match is a contest between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals. MI will be looking to register a victory here and hence move further away from the chasing pack in PBKS and RR. Any slipups from here would mean that they will have to rely on other results even if they win the other two games.
On the other hand, we have Delhi Capitals who are looking in a commanding situation at the moment. They just need another victory to seal qualification to the playoff stage. But they will be targeting the top two places so as to get another shot for the final. DC under Pant have been lacklustre against the big teams (MI & CSK) this season. It will be interesting to see how they perform in this fixture.

Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium has not been a good wicket to bat on. Runs have been difficult to come by at this venue. The wicket is a bit on the slower side. Batsmen will need to get their eyes in before going for the shots. Strike rotation will be key here. Bowlers will need to vary their pace in order to be more effective.
A score of around 140 runs would be a fighting total at this venue. Both the captains will be looking to field first upon winning the toss. Some dew is also expected as the match progresses.
