Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians would be facing each other in the first game of the weekend.
Into the weekend, we find two strong teams facing each other. Mumbai Indians are the most successful side in the history of the league. The record speaks for itself. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have created an image for themselves over the recent years.
The two teams have had a contrasting journey in the ongoing season. Delhi Capitals have constantly maintained the top 2 positions in the table. Mumbai Indians have been slightly inconsistent in terms of their performance.
Head to Head.
The two teams have faced each other 29 times in IPL. Mumbai Indians have won 16 of those games, while Delhi won 13 of them. The other 3 matches gave no result. At Sharjah cricket stadium, both the teams have faced each other once in which Delhi Capitals had won. In the last 5 appearances between each other, Mumbai has the upper hand with 4 wins and Delhi has managed to win only one game.
Previous result.
Earlier in the tournament, both sides had faced each other in Chennai. Delhi Capitals had managed to win a low scoring thriller by 6 wickets. Though the match went to the last over, Delhi had the last laugh.
