IPL 2024 Match 43 | DC vs MI | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Delhi Capitals will take on Mumbai Indians in match 43 of IPL 2024. The Capitals, currently placed 6th on the table with 8 points, is in a better position than Mumbai who are teetering in the 8th place with 3 wins and 6 points.

Delhi Capitals have yet not managed to make the Arun Jaitley Stadium a fortress like the Royals or CSK have made their den. They started with a loss against SRH at their home ground. DC lost the previous game against MI. The Indians piled up 234 batting first and won the game by 29 runs. At home, DC now has a chance to settle the scores against MI. The Capitals are still nowhere near where they want to be in terms of consistency. When their batting failed early on in the tournament, their bowling group stood up. And now, it’s just the opposite. Their batting has come together but their bowlers have gone the distance. For them to win against MI, they will need to perform as a unit.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are heading into this game on the back of a loss against RR. They started their campaign with three back-to-back losses. In between, they won two games on the trot. Just when it looked like they were coming back on track, they lost two back-to-back games against CSK and RR. In the last game, RR hammered MI by nine wickets when they had 180 to defend. In that game, Bumrah went wicketless making things very difficult for MI. The team does not look to have a settled unit so far in the campaign and need to sort out their issues and play like a team for them to advance through to the playoffs.

Prediction

MI won the previous match between the two sides at the Wankhede. However, in Delhi on a different ground, Pant has his two spinners in form which gives DC the edge over MI in the contest. MI is a bit inconsistent side in terms of their form whereas Delhi is currently in good form and hence are favorites to win this clash.
