DC Vs MI Preview: DC, MI seek answers in face of mounting questions

DC Vs MI Preview: DC and MI, both are yet to open their account in the IPL 2023

The 16th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is set to take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, where Delhi Capitals will face off against Mumbai Indians. The Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians are yet to secure a win in this current season and have been struggling so far.

The Delhi Capitals have suffered three consecutive losses in their first three matches, all by significant margins. Their previous match was a defeat against RR by 55 runs.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have once again started their season slowly, with two consecutive losses in their first two matches. They were convincingly defeated by RCB and CSK. Despite playing at the Wankhede Stadium, which is typically their fortress, CSK defeated them by 7 wickets.

Both Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will be eager to deliver an impressive performance in their upcoming match against each other, with the hope of securing their first victory of the IPL 2023 season.

DC Vs MI: Players to Watch

Delhi Capitals: David Warner

David Warner has managed to score 158 runs in three matches, but his strike rate of 117.04 is a concern. With his team struggling to score runs, he will need to step up and provide a dynamic start with the bat. As a leader, he will need to lead from the front in the upcoming match against the Mumbai Indians and guide his team towards their first win of the campaign.

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma's performance has been below par, as he has only managed to score 22 runs in two matches. Given his experience and leadership position in the team, he will be eager to step up and lead from the front with a better batting performance in the upcoming match against Delhi Capitals. He will be hoping to set the tone for his team and guide them towards their first victory of the campaign.
