DC vs MI Team News, Injury Updates
The hosts boast strong momentum after a composed chase against LSG. They will rely heavily on their dynamic bowling attack featuring Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan (who took three wickets
each) and spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Sameer Rizvi's match-winning 70 off 47 balls makes him a key asset.
The visitors feature a dangerous lineup of explosive power-hitters, led by Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton, who smashed 81 in the opening game. Shardul Thakur proved highly effective with the ball, taking three wickets. Jasprit Bumrah is arguably the best T20 bowler and possesses an equally deceptive slower ball. But his record in Delhi is not that good. Among the venues where he has played at least five T20s, he has the worst economy rate (8.97) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Mitchell Santner has joined the squad and should replace AM Ghazanfar in the lineup.
