Key Batters to Watch for DC vs MI :

Shai Hope

In the absence of David Warner, Delhi will hope, Shai Hope can become the innings controller, at three he will have different roles to perform according to what the situation demands.

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya has not been in the best of the touch, his ability to smash pacers has declined rapidly which makes it easier for teams to counter him in death overs, this is why he should come in, in the middle phase of the innings where he faces junk spin.

Key Bowlers to Watch for DC vs MI :

Mukesh Kumar

A Medium Pacer who seams the ball off the surface, Mukesh Kumar is deceptive with his bowling, he hits the bat harder than the batter thinks and his exceptional control with the new ball makes him an asset to have in the side.

Nuwan Thushara

Nuwan Thushara who bowls with a sling action went for runs in his first outing but he’s perfectly capable of turning things back, his ability to contain batters will be important for Mumbai in the business end of the tournament.
