The Final berth scenario
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are vying for the direct entry into the final. Both teams have 10 points with DC’s net run-rate reading 1.978 compared to MI’s 1.725. Mumbai not only need to win this match but also keep an eye on the evening fixture. They can reach the final even if they lose if Delhi loses by a much bigger margin.
Our Pick: MI have an in-form and significantly stronger bowling unit. We predict Mumbai Indians to win the match at 1.61 odds.
RCB chased down 189 versus Gujarat Giants in the previous game with 27 balls to spare. Sophie Devine put on an absolute exhibition of batting, smashing 99 off just 36 balls. They’d be hoping for another explosive batting performance.
Mumbai Indians tested their own medicine in the previous game as Delhi Capitals pummelled them by nine wickets and 11 overs to spare. Their batting unit has failed miserably in the last few games and will need a better performance from their seniors.
