Mumbai Indians v Delhi Capitals – Team News
Quinton de Kock – Mumbai rely on the hard-hitting South African for quick runs at the top of the order. He should be key again.
Rahul Chahar – The Mumbai star is one of the best leg-spinners in domestic T20 cricket at the moment. He has been named in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
Krunal Pandya – Pandya is a vital part of Mumbai’s bowling attack. This pitch could prove particularly conducive to spin, too.
Shikhar Dhawan – The Delhi opener has a point to prove, after missing out on T20 World Cup selection. A big performance here could keep him in the frame.
Avesh Khan – A lot is made of Delhi’s international seamers, Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada, but don’t forget about the talented Khan this IPL.
Mumbai Indians v Delhi Capitals – Betting Tips and Predictions
Avesh Khan is a talented and in-form seamer. He ensures that it’s not only Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje grabbing the headlines among the Delhi bowling attack.
Khan has been on the lips of the national selectors, too. He took three wickets in defeat to Kolkata recently and will be eager to impress at the same venue again.
Sharjah can be great for seam bowling – and Khan’s accuracy and control makes him a good pick to be Delih’s top bowler at 3.75 with bet365.
Bet on Tiwary for Top Mumbai Batsman
Saurabh Tiwary has been in and out of the Mumbai XI in past IPLs, but has become a mainstay in the middle order this time.
He is in good form and has a 50 not out and a 45 to show for the IPL restart so far. In fact, he is averaging 100, with two not outs.
Despite his good showings, Tiwary is still at longer odds to be the top Mumbai batsman than some of his team-mates. 10CRIC have this nicely priced at 6.5.
Pick Pollard in an Accumulator
Kieron Pollard recently welcomed a 300th wicket in professional T20 cricket and is renowned for hitting big sixes with remarkable ease.
We saw it again recently, when the Punjab Kings suffered at the hands of Pollard’s cool, calm and collected striking.
1xBet have him priced at 2.55 to take at least one wicket and hit just one six. That’s not a big ask at all of one of the best all-rounders in the game today.
