Toss Prediction
There is a huge toss bias at the Wankhede. Since the last seven matches of the Indian Premier League at this ground have all been won by the side batting second, the team that wins the toss here on Saturday night is highly likely to field first. This has been a very lucky venue for the Mumbai Indians as far as toss is concerned - 7 wins in their last 8 matches. So expect the toss to go their way once more.

MI Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team is in good physical condition with no injuries in the side. The selectors are unlikely to make any changes in the lineup for this upcoming game.
Key Players
Nitish Rana is going through the form of his life. He struck his third fifty of the season in the last game against KXIP and the team will want him to continue his good form. Jos Buttler too was in supreme touch as he belted 77 runs off just 37 balls to guide his team to victory. Mitchell McClenaghan is the leading wicket-taker for Mumbai Indians but he went for plenty in the last game. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled well so far and Delhi Daredevils might find it difficult to score off him.
Recent Form
Since losing their opening game against Rising Pune Supergiant, Mumbai Indians have now won five matches in a row to dislodge Kolkata Knight Riders from the top spot in the league standings. It has been an allround performance from them so far and they look well set to go far in this tenth edition of the Indian Premier League.

DC Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Delhi Daredevils could tinker with their batting lineup ahead of this match. Chris Morris who has a better strike-rate and batting average than Angelo Mathews is expected to be promoted ahead of him.
Key Players
Sanju Samson is the only batsman other than KXIP's Hashim Amla to have hit a century this IPL. He has been chipping in with good contributions consistently and he will be the key man with the bat for Delhi Daredevils. Bowling will rely largely on Chris Morris who is currently the second-most successful bowler this season with 12 wickets from five matches. The South African pacer claimed a four-wicket haul in the last game against SRH and he will be the one to watch out for in this bowling lineup.
Recent Form
Delhi Daredevils have played five league matches so far and have won two and lost three of them. They are currently placed fourth on the IPL leaderboard with four points and will come into this match after having faced defeats in their last two matches.
DD Predicted Playing 11
-
Z Khan (c), SV Samson, SW Billings, KK Nair, RR Pant (wk), SS Iyer, AD Mathews, CH Morris, J Yadav, PJ Cummins, A Mishra.

MI vs DD Head to Head
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils are tied at 9 wins each from the 18 matches that have been played between these two sides in the Indian Premier League. Both won a game each last year with the most recent one being won by Mumbai Indians. MI have beaten Daredevils five times out of six at the Wankhede.
MI vs DD Betting Odds
Mumbai Indians are on a roll with five successive wins and they are a very tough side to beat at the Wankhede - their home ground where they have won their last five matches. So it isn't surprising to seem them at such low odds with the bookmakers. MI are favorites to win this game with best odds of 1.72 with Betfair and 1.61 with Bet365. Delhi Daredevils have been able to beat Mumbai Indians just once in the six matches at this ground. They will also be under pressure after having lost back-to-back and are therefore outsiders at 2.32 with 1xbet and 2.30 with bet365.
MI vs DD Prediction
Delhi Daredevils are a bowling-heavy side and the lack of firepower in their batting is costing them dearly. Barring Sanju Samson, none of their batters have been able to make a mark in this IPL and there is a good chance that they might struggle against the bowling attack of Mumbai Indians that has the likes of Bumrah, Malinga and McClenaghan. Mumbai Indians don't have any injury or selection issues in front of them and they are brimming with confidence after winning five games on the trot. The hosts have plenty of match-winners in their side and we therefore predict them to win this match and extend their winning streak to six.
Final Verdict: Back Mumbai Indians to beat Delhi Daredevils in the 25th match of IPL 2017 at 1.72 with 1xbet and 1.61 with bet365.
