MI Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Hardik Pandya who was ruled out in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad with a foot injury is expected to fit for this game and is likely to replace Ben Cutting in the playing eleven.
Key Players
Rohit Sharma, Evin Lewis, Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard are the big guns in Mumbai's batting line-up. Rohit and Lewis have scored just 26 and 29 runs respectively in the two matches and the team will be hoping that they can find some form against the Daredevils. Pollard showed promising signs in the last game and he can be very destructive when on song. While Jasprit Bumrah and Mustafizur Rahman continue to remain the big threats with the new ball as well as at the death, Mayank Markande will be the key bowler in the middle overs. The leg-spinner has been the most impressive of the pack with seven wickets at a very healthy economy rate.
Recent Form
After suffering back-to-back defeats, Mumbai Indians have slipped to the sixth spot on the IPL 2018 points table. Both their fixtures - the one against Chennai Super Kings in the opening game as well as their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad - were extremely close contests that went all the way down to the wire.

DC Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Delhi Daredevils are likely to stick with Glenn Maxwell at the opening position for the game against the Mumbai Indians. This means that Daniel Christian may have to wait a little longer to get back into the playing eleven.
Key Players
Colin Munro and Glenn Maxwell could open the batting once again for the Delhi Daredevils and the onus will be on them to provide a solid start to the innings. Skipper Gautam Gambhir is one of the most consistent run-scorers in the IPL and his form will be key to the team's batting. In the bowling department, the pace trio of Trent Boult, Chris Morris and Mohammed Shami will be the big threats to Mumbai's batsmen. Boult will be starting the proceedings with the new ball and he is likely to do some early damage here as the wicket is expected to be more suitable to his style of bowling.
Recent Form
Delhi Daredevils are yet to get off the mark on the points table and are placed at the bottom in the league standings having lost their first two matches. They suffered a six-wicket loss at the hands of Kings XI Punjab in their opening encounter before going down to the Rajasthan Royals in their rain-curtailed second game.
Delhi Daredevils Predicted Playing 11

Glenn Maxwell, Colin Munro, Rishabh Pant (wk), Chris Morris, Vijay Shankar, Shreyas Iyer, Gautam Gambhir (c), Rahul Tewatia, Shahbaz Nadeem, Trent Boult, Mohammed Shami

Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils Betting Odds
Mumbai Indians begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this match at odds of 1.66 on Betway, 1.61 on Bet365 and 1.71 on Betfair. Delhi Daredevils are the underdogs amongst the bookmakers at a higher price of 2.20 on Betway, 2.30 on Bet365 and 2.34 on Betfair.
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils Prediction
Both teams are placed in the bottom-half of the points table after having lost their first couple of games and they will be looking to gain some momentum in this match. Mumbai Indians have the upper hand when it comes to overall head-to-head statistics. They have also won four of their last five matches against the Delhi Daredevils, including both the matches of the previous season. Though Mumbai do have the home advantage on their side, the fact that they have lost four of their past five matches here is going to be a bit of a concern for them. However, they have beaten the Daredevils in their previous four attempts at this venue and this should give them a huge psychological boost. We thus predict Mumbai Indians to win this encounter.
Final Verdict: Back Mumbai Indians to beat Delhi Daredevils at 1.66 on Betway, 1.61 on Bet365 and 1.71 on 1xbet.
