DC vs MI, Toss Update: Delhi Capitals Win Toss, Opt To Bat First Against Mumbai Indians At Abu Dhabi. Rohit Sharma, who is playing his 150th IPL match for Mumbai Indians, gets a jersey from Zaheer Khan. Mumbai team remains unchanged in their 150th IPL match.
When the teams of Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, which are consistently doing well in the current season of the Indian Premier League, will face face-to-face on Sunday, there will be an eye on the competition of big star players in the battle of heavyweights. The top-order batting of both the top-placed teams is strong and the middle order is extremely good.
Along with this, both teams have a great bowling attack. A score of 170 on the big ground of Abu Dhabi would be called good but given the batsmen of Mumbai and Delhi, even the score of 200 runs is also not safe in tonight's game.
Shikhar Dhawan will have to give Delhi a good start. Despite a good start in many matches, he has not been able to play big innings. This will also be the first test for Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant who will face Mumbai's star speedsters Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Bolt.

The good thing for Delhi Capitals is the return of form of Shimron Hetmyer, who performed brilliantly against the Rajasthan Royals. Captain Shreyas Iyer himself is in excellent form.
A team that has an upper hand in tonight's game is Mumbai Indians in terms of experience of fast bowlers. Jaspreet Bumrah and Trent Boult have years of experience. Mumbai Indians also have all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard who can turn the match around on their own stroke-making power in just few balls.
Delhi have in-form fast bowlers in the form of Kagiso Rabada and Nortje. Senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has also performed effectively. Amit Mishra's place has been filled in by Akshar Patel.
