Team News
Amit Mishra has dismissed MI skipper Rohit Sharma on as many as six occasions. He is likely to replace Lukman Meriwala in the DC playing XI. Anrich Nortje is available for selection but may have to wait for his chance.
Despite being expensive in the last game, Kagiso Rabada is likely to spearhead the pace attack that also comprises of Avesh Khan and Chris Woakes.
Barring Suryakumar Yadav, the Mumbai batters have blown hot and cold. Despite getting a couple of starts, Rohit has failed to convert those into something substantial. MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene has confirmed that Hardik Pandya will not bowl due to a shoulder niggle. Adam Milne, who made his debut for MI against Sunrisers Hyderabad, may miss out on the action. Jayant Yadav is likely to replace him in the starting line-up.

- Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant can be relied upon as two wicket-keepers for the team.
- Suryakumar Yadav is in sublime form. He should be an automatic pick in your fantasy XI.
