Match Details:

Preview

As we are done with the League stage and finally entering the Playoffs, the table toppers Mumbai and Delhi are taking on each other in the first Qualifier. Both the teams would like to win this and get the ticket to the final first and foremost. However, the loser of this game will not be eliminated. This is the advantage you get after finishing top-2.

Mumbai finished the league stage with 18 points and an impressive +1.107 NRR. Mumbai won both the matches against Delhi earlier this season. Well, they lost the last league match against Hyderabad by huge 10 wickets. But it is not something that they should be bothered about. With Rohit Sharma back in the XI as well, Mumbai is the biggest threat to the other teams in the playoffs.

They have been in red hot form in all the departments. Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav are consistently scoring runs at the top followed by a strong finishing unit with Pollard and Pandya brothers. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult have been incredible for MI and in the top-5 bowlers of the tournament. Overall, Mumbai are looking the best team at the moment and are clear favourites for the Qualifier 1. 

On the other side, Delhi have lost four out of the last five matches they have played. They finally finished at the top-2 in the table with a win in their last League game against Bangalore. They played a gamble by bringing Daniel Sams to strengthen their fifth bowling option and experienced Rahane at the top. Prithvi Shaw is not scoring runs at the top followed by a shaky middle order is what increases the dependency on Shikhar Dhawan. Otherwise, they have got a pretty good bowling attack and have a very good chance to beat this Mumbai team in Dubai.
