DC vs MI Match Prediction– Who Will Win Today IPL Match? IPL 2024 Match 43

The DC vs MI IPL 2024 match will be played on Saturday, April 27 from 3.30 pm IST. This is the reverse fixture between the two sides. 

DC vs MI Team Analysis

Delhi Capitals 

DC have yet not managed to make the Arun Jaitley Stadium a fortress like the Royals or CSK have made their den. They started with a loss against SRH at their home ground. They now have four games remaining at home and four wins at home which will bring them back into contention for a spot in the final four. 

They have got the batting and the bowling attack to beat Mumbai Indians at home. It is for the players to now recognize their potential with their team needing a few back-to-back wins. 

Mumbai Indians 

MI are heading into this game on the back of a loss against RR. They started their campaign with three back-to-back losses. In between, they won two games on the trot and it looked like they have found the playing combination. However, the loss to RR have brought them back to square one.

Hardik Pandya's poor captaincy and not making use of the right bowlers at the right time have cost the team. They need to sort out their issues and play like a team for them to advance through to the playoffs.

DC vs MI Key Factors 

Pitch Conditions 

This is an afternoon game where there will be no dew expected. Hence the team winning the toss might want to bat first at this venue pile up the runs and challenge the chasing team. SRH posted 266 in the very first game played at this venue in this year's IPL. The pitch is expected to stay the same throughout the 40 overs. 

Form and Fitness 

There are no fitness concerns for both teams. Mitchell Marsh is now ruled out of the remainder of the season for Delhi Capitals with Jake Fraser M<cGurk taking up his place. He had made his presence felt in the team.

Speaking about form, the batters from both teams are still searching for their form. Rohit Sharma after scoring a century against CSK scored just 35 and five in his next two games. Prithvi Shaw and David Warner are yet to find their mojo as well. 

Tactical Acumen

The tactical acumen from both teas will be needed to cut down the boundaries, especially at this small ground at the Kotla. Hardik Pandya's use of his bowlers has been poor. Rishabh Pant has been batter as captain and it is with his cricketing smarts that he will look to outdo his opposition skipper.

DC vs MI Match Prediction– Who Will Win Today IPL Match? IPL 2024 Match 43

MI won the previous match between the two sides at the Wankhede. However, in Delhi on a different ground, Pant has his two spinners in form which gives DC the edge over MI in the contest. For MI, there is too much pressure on Jasprit Bumrah to deliver every time he plays.

Conclusion 

It is high time that both these teams start winning if they are willing to make it to the last four. DC who lost the previous fixture against MI would want to pull back one at home. 

According to BetWay, the betting odds favor DC over MI in the match 43 of IPL 2024, with odds of 1.53 and 1.89, respectively.
