Indian T20 League 2021: Match 13 DEL vs MUM – Fan2Play Fantasy Cricket Tips, Prediction, Playing XI and Pitch Report

Match Details

The 13th game of the Indian T20 League between Delhi and Mumbai will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on 20th April 2021.

The match will start at 7:30 PM IST. The live streaming will be available on the Hotstar app and website.

Preview 

Delhi will eye an act of revenge when they take on Mumbai at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 20. The two teams met each other in the final of the last season when Mumbai won the title. It will be a good opportunity for the Delhi team to get one over the Mumbai unit. However, Rohit Sharma’s team seem to be the favorites to win this contest. 

That being said, it is worth noting that Mumbai has played on Chennai’s tricky surface in their last three matches. For Delhi, it won’t be easy to adapt to coming from Mumbai to Chennai. The Delhi team might even look for a few changes going into this match, as far as their spin attack is concerned. Ravichandran Ashwin will start but he might have some company in Amit Mishra, who could be the choice for the second spinner. With that being said, spin will play a crucial part in this contest as well, and certainly, it won’t be as high-scoring as some of the matches which Delhi played during their Mumbai leg.

Captaincy picks for DEL vs MUM

Shikhar Dhawan (Delhi)

Shikhar Dhawan has completely altered his T20 game plan and has been striking the ball quite magnificently. The southpaw played a fantastic knock of 92 in Delhi’s win against Punjab. He has scored 186 runs in this season so far and would be looking to add to that tally. On top of that, if he can get a start, he is more than capable to putting up a big score for his team.

Suryakumar Yadav (Mumbai)

Suryakumar Yadav has been in top form recently with the bat. On the Chennai pitch, where others have found it difficult to bat, Yadav has looked in complete control. He scored a brilliant 56 against Kolkata in their second match but failed to convert a good start in the subsequent match against Hyderabad. He would be looking to get a good total for his side in this match.
