Mumbai Indians are favourites to win
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils will lock horns on May 15 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. This will be the 47th match of the Indian Premier League 2016 where the winning team will move one step closer to the playoffs. Live action is scheduled to commence at 8 PM local time.
The two games on this ground have produced contrasting first-innings scores of 177 and 137. So the team that bats first will want to put up something around 150 or more. Toss will have its importance as both the wins here have come while batting first. So the captains from either side will probably elect to bat first after winning the toss.
Predicted score: 160
Rohit Sharma should be backed up to top-score for his side. If he and Rayudu can get Mumbai off to a good start, a platform will be laid where the likes of Pollard and Buttler can charge the Delhi bowlers in the final five overs or so. Delhi have a decent bowling attack in Coulter-Nile, Shami and Mishra and if they are able to rock the top order within the powerplay, then Mumbai might struggle to reach 150. With wickets in hand, they can go after Yadav and Morris at the end.
Predicted score: 150
Much will depend on how much Quinton de Kock can get. The opener has been in good form but he will be facing Mumbai's McClenaghan, Southee and Bumrah who have been right on the money since the start of the tournament. If Delhi loses de Kock early, then will be up to Nair and Samson to hold the innings together. Krunal Pandya has also bowled well for MI and will look to dry up the runs in the middle overs. If de Kock plays a big innings and with Pant and Duminy down the order, the Daredevils will stand a good chance of going past 150.
In the reverse fixture between the two teams at the Feroz Shah Kotla, it was the Delhi Daredevils who emerged victorious by 10 runs. They are also ahead of Mumbai on the points table which will make them feel more confident when they take the field on Sunday. But their batting, which seems to depend so much on de Kock, has let them down in the past. Mumbai are a better balanced side and have a sharper bowling attack. Moreover, they have the experience of playing at Visakhapatnam and will know the conditions better than Delhi who have not yet had a game here.
