Delhi Capitals v Mumbai Indians – Match Preview

Delhi have lost their last two IPL meetings with Mumbai, including earlier in the 2020 season. Prior to that, though, Delhi had beaten the four-time champions three times in a row.

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

When: Saturday, 31 October 2020

Start time: 15:30 IST (10:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: Bangalore have played a few matches in Dubai this season and posted first-innings totals between 140 and 160. That probably won’t be enough if they bat first again, although the pitch is slowing and will make it tough for chasing targets. Dew won’t play a role this time, as this is a day game.

Weather conditions: Saturday’s weather in Dubai is going to be characteristically hot, with no rain predicted. This match will be the first of two on the day, so there won’t be the slight cool of the evening for the players to enjoy.

Delhi Capitals v Mumbai Indians – Latest Odds

Parimatch have made cricket betting during the IPL 2020 fun and straightforward. They haven’t had many markets, but their outright prices have been put up early.

They have the Mumbai Indians priced as favourites to win this match at 1.7. Delhi are offered as the underdogs at 2.08.

Delhi Capitals v Mumbai Indians – Team News

It’s probable Delhi will select Ajinkya Rahane ahead of Prithvi Shaw as an opening batsman again.

Bowling-wise, they have Axar Patel’s superb economy and Ravichandran Ashwin’s experience in the spin department to rely on. South African pace aces Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje will likely bowl in combination again.

Mumbai are waiting on the fitness of Rohit Sharma, who has missed the last three matches. If he doesn’t play, that’ll leave Kieron Pollard to captain the XI again.

If Sharma plays, Ishan Kishan will probably return to the middle order and Saurabh Tiwary will be benched. Bowling-wise, they will likely continue with James Pattinson instead of Nathan Coulter-Nile.

Delhi Capitals v Mumbai Indians – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are more free cricket match predictions from our experts. We have based these IPL betting tips on lucrative odds and the form of the players and teams.

Bet on Rabada to Be Delhi’s Top Bowler

Rabada had an off day against Hyderabad recently. It was the first time he hadn’t taken a wicket in a match this IPL. But he is still the 2020 tournament’s leading wicket-taker.

The South African pace ace will likely bounce back. He’ll probably need three wickets or more to be the top bowler for Delhi – and could take all of them up front if he really gets going.

He is priced at 2.5 by 22Bet to be the top bowler for the Capitals.

Choose Khan to Be Mumbai’s Top Batsman

Ishan Kishan has managed to secure a relatively permanent berth in the first-choice XI, even during the absence of Rohit Sharma and return of Saurabh Tiwary.

Whether he opens the batting or arrives at the create in the middle order, Khan is a superb talent. He is offered at 4.0 to be the top batsman for Mumbai this time. This bet could bring good value.

Select Stoinis to Be the Player of the Match

Marcus Stoinis has had a big, positive impact on Dehli’s campaign. Able to contribute with bat and ball, he has done so consistently well.

He is effectively preparing for the upcoming Big Bash League, too. He was the 2019-2o BB player of the tournament. Stoinis, as an all-rounder, is a good choice as player of the match with 22Bet at 15.0.
