Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 8 of the IPL 2026 between DC vs MI to be played in Delhi.

The five-time champion, Mumbai Indians (MI), started the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 with a win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). This was the first time since 2012 that MI started the IPL season with a win. And they did it in style, with their highest successful IPL chase.

But MI will have a bigger challenge, as they will play an away game in Delhi. They will face Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday at Arun Jaitley Stadium at 3:30 PM IST. This is the first double header of this season.

DC are coming off a good game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). They found a new match-winner in Sameer Rizvi, who scored an unbeaten 70 off 47 to win this first MOTM award in the IPL. Their bowlers bowled tightly; they will be prepared to contain the MI juggernaut in Delhi.

DC vs MI: Pitch Report

Arun Jaitley Stadium is probably one of the top venues for the batting teams. This is a small venue, with a lightning-quick outfield. Even a top edge flies over the boundary line.

It is one of the toughest venues for any bowling side, because there will be nothing in it. The record indicates that the chasing team has won over 60 percent matches here in the shorter format.
