Preview: The Axar Patel-led DC is second on the points table with four wins in a row and are the only unbeaten team in the competition. Playing their first game in Delhi will be special for the side, and it will surely boost their confidence for the upcoming match. The team has so far defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and, most recently, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have blown cold in the tournament, having won one and lost four encounters from five matches. The five-time champions haven’t been able to decode the winning formula. However, with the experience of being in similar situations in past seasons, the side knows how to bounce back and win championships from here.
