In the 13th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, fans will tonight witness a clash between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in the second game of the day on Saturday. In this match played in Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed, there will be a battle between Mumbai and Delhi to prove who's the best. The performance of both the teams so far in the current season has been excellent.
Delhi Capitals are on top of the points table with 10 points after winning 5 out of 6 matches. At the same time, Mumbai retained the second place in points table with 4 wins and 2 defeats. In such a situation, when both the teams are face to face in today's competition, the thrill and excitement of the game will be at its peak.
If we look at the team of Delhi Capitals, they are looking pretty strong in every department. In batting, the team has great batsmen like Prithvi Shaw, captain Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant.
Shimron Hetmyer has also gained momentum. However, the form of opener Shikhar Dhawan remains a cause of concern for Delhi. Also, Marcus Stoinis, who is present in the middle order, has already done wonders from the first match and is constantly handling the responsibility of batting for the team in the death overs.
In bowling, Delhi have Orange Cap holder Kagiso Rabada, who has already taken 15 wickets in the tournament. At the same time, Anrich Nortje is also supporting Rabada well. Ashwin and Akshar Patel present in the spin department are also contributing equally to the team's performance.
On the other hand, the Mumbai team is also quite strong. From batting to bowling, every player is a match winner. Captain Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in the top order are in good rhythm. All-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard, who are in-charge of the middle order, have proved their abilities in many matches this season. Krunal Pandya has been amazing both with the ball and bat.
