Our Predictions 

MATCH PREVIEW     

We will have an interesting game in the Indian Premier League 2025, where one team looks to show its dominance while the other fights for survival. The Delhi Capitals will look to build on their domination as they face the Mumbai Indians in the 29th match. The Delhi Capitals defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game, their fourth consecutive win. The odds have improved for the team due to their consistency. The Mumbai Indians went down against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game and must win here to keep hopes alive for the rest of the tournament. The two teams are entering this game in contrasting forms, and it will be interesting to see if the Mumbai Indians can pull up their socks.  

Delhi Capitals Preview     

Axar Patel and his men are in good form. The team defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game by 6 wickets and has moved to the second spot on the points table. The odds have improved for the team on cricket betting apps with four consecutive wins. Patel would like to build on this momentum and exploit the lack of form in the other camp.  

Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis failed in the last game, and the team expects the pair to make a positive start. KL Rahul played a match-winning knock in the last game and will be confident. He must add runs in the middle order with Abhishek Porel and Axar Patel, as Mumbai have good bowlers. Tristan Stubbs is a good hitter and adds firepower to the batting with Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam.  

Mitchell Starc and Axar Patel struggled with the new ball in the last game, and they will look for a better show and early breakthroughs. Vipraj Nigam bowled well in the last game and shall look to keep the scoring in check in the middle overs with Mukesh Kumar. Kuldeep Sharma and Mohit Sharma are good bowlers and complete a strong attack for the team.  

Expected Starting XI for Delhi Capitals     

Axar Patel (c), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel (wk), KL Rahul, Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Ashutosh Sharma, Mukesh Kumar (Impact Player)  

Mumbai Indians Preview     

Alarm bells have started ringing in the Mumbai Indians' camp. The side lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game by 12 runs. Skipper Hardik Pandya must find the answers to the problems and win this game to keep their hopes alive for the rest of the season. They have a good record against the Delhi Capitals and don't have poor odds on cricket betting sites, as their recent form should suggest. Pandya would like a strong comeback from his key players.  

Batting is the team's real strength but it hasn't done well. Rohit Sharma has struggled this year, and the team expects him to deliver a good start with Ryan Rickelton. The middle order hasn't been at its best. The trio of Suryakumar Yadav, Will Jacks, and Tilak Varma must add quick runs to put the Delhi Capitals bowlers in trouble. Hardik Pandya must lead the charge in the lower middle order and add runs with Naman Dhir.  

The bowlers haven't troubled the opponents in most games this season. Jaspirt Bumrah bowled well in his comeback game, and the team needs early wickets from him and Trent Boult. Deepak Chahar's form has become a concern for the team, and he must do well in the middle overs with Mitchell Santner. Pandya, Will Jacks, and Vignesh Puthur must do well in the supporting role.  

Expected Starting XI for Mumbai Indians     

Hardik Pandya (c), Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Vignesh Puthur, Rohit Sharma (Impact Player)  

TOSS: To Bat First      

The team batting first has won the last four out of six games here. It is a challenging venue when it comes to chasing targets. The conditions are excellent for batting at the start, but the wicket is challenging in the second half. Hence, the side winning the toss won't hesitate to bat first.   

 
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

There will be clear skies over Delhi, and we expect a hot evening. It will be a good track to bat on as the ball will come onto the bat nicely. There is little margin of error for the bowlers. The side batting first would like more than 200 runs on the board.   

OUR PREDICTION      

The Mumbai Indians will fight for their survival in this game. The famed batting lineup hasn't lived up to expectations. The team needs a good show from the top order to have a chance in this game. The Delhi Capitals have won four consecutive games, and the batting lineup has performed well under pressure. The two teams have had a close rivalry, but going by the current form, the Delhi Capitals have an edge.  

Our prediction is for Delhi Capitals to win
