If we talk about Mumbai Indians here, then both Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are expected to get a good start in the opening, but neither of them has been able to score big so far. However, Tilak Verma has impressed with his performance in the middle order. He is the top scorer of the team. At the same time, if we talk about Delhi team, then the returning captain Rishabh Pant has shown excellent form with two consecutive half-centuries, but he is not getting support from other batsmen among the batsmen.
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is generally more suited to batsmen than bowlers. High scoring matches can be seen here. Fast bowlers also get help on this wicket. The swing and bounce is good here especially with the new ball. So far 110 IPL matches have been played here.
