Delhi Daredevils vs. Mumbai Indians Prediction (DD vs MI)

The luckless Delhi Daredevils were unable to win their fourth game of the event whereas the ex-champions, Mumbai Indians, lost their third one in a row. The latter was defeated by KKR, RCB and CKS while DD won their only match against the formidable Kolkata Knight Riders and lost three vs. RCB, CSK and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Both teams are not performing up to their standards and will be trying hard to get back their rhythm in the next match.

Players to watch

The skipper of Delhi Daredevils, Kevin Pietersen, was unable to post a big score in his first game but can do better in the coming ones. Jean-Paul Duminy is batting at his best while Dinesh Karthik and Murali Vijay can shine in the next ones. Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Shami and Shahbaz Nadeem are bowling nicely.

Rohit Sharma became the first batsman to score a fifty for his side in the third game but they need positive batting from Michael Hussey, Corey Anderson and Kieron Pollard. Zaheer Khan, Lasith Malinga and Harbhajan Singh require more deadly spells to win the matches for their side.
