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

Lendl Simmons blasted the first ton of the IPL 2014 for Mumbai Indians against a high rated Kings XI Punjab and won the match for his team. MI gathered 10 points from 12 games whereas the dismal performance of Delhi Daredevils continued in the event since they managed just four points from 12 matches. The first will enter the field against DD with the clear intention for another victory.
