Who would bat first?
Hello everyone, welcome to the live coverage of Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians IPL match, from the beautiful city of Chennai.
A win for either team would mean the second spot would be theirs for the time being.
Background
IPL 2021: Mumbai Indians will go head to head against the previous year's finalists, Delhi Capitals in Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. MI and DC, both have won two out of their three matches played so far. The team that wins today would take up the second position in the IPL 2021 points table.
Both teams are coming off victories in their previous respective matches. Thus, not a lot of changes are expected to be seen in both teams. Although DC bowlers gave away too many runs against Punjab Kings. So, Pant would want to make some changes in that department. Nowadays, captains are wanting to open their innings with spin bowling. Rishabh Pant might include leg-spinner Amit Sharma- who has troubled Rohit Sharma in the past- and play a gamble of sorts.
The Delhi Capitals might find it a little difficult to adjust their game-play as they played their first three matches at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. DC would have to adapt to the changed Chennai conditions.
What to expect at the toss?
The Chepauk wicket is not an easy one to score on. One needs to get in completely before playing expansive shots. The team that wins the toss would preferably want to bat first.
