MI vs DC- Toss Report, IPL 2021 Match 46

As far as both the teams are concerned, Mumbai Indians went ahead with a massive change in their last game as they dropped Ishan Kishan from their first eleven and went ahead with Saurabh Tiwary, who eventually went on to become MI’s highest run-getter in the game against Punjab Kings. Suryakumar Yadav’s form has been a cause of concern for the side and they will be hoping for some fireworks from him today.

As far as Delhi Capitals are concerned, they might go ahead with Amit Mishra, who hasn’t played a game so far in the UAE leg of IPL 2021 in place of Lalit Yadav. Once again, they will be heavily reliant on their fast bowling duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje. It will be interesting to see if Prithvi Shaw makes a comeback to the first eleven after missing out on the last game due to a niggle.

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Quinton de Kock(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jayant Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Steven Smith, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan, Anrich Nortje.
