Key battles (Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals)

Marcus Stoinis vs Trent Boult

Marcus Stoinis struck form in his last two matches, scoring 65 against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1 and 38 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2. More crucially, the latter innings came as an opener – a role the Australian had success in for Melbourne Stars in the 2019-20 Big Bash League, where he top-scored with 705 runs (six fifties and a hundred) at an average of 54.23.

Trent Boult has been the in-form new-ball bowler in IPL 2020 with 14 wickets in the PowerPlay overs. In Qualifier 1, Boult accounted for Prtihvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane in the first over to leave Delhi reeling at 0/2. Stoinis will have to contend with the New Zealander swinging the ball both ways at pace from the get go.

Hardik Pandya vs Pravin Dubey

Hardik Pandya has elevated his power-hitting this edition, hitting 25 sixes and 14 fours in 13 innings. Pandya scored 278 runs from the 152 balls faced – a strike rate of 183. However, Hardik has struggled against leg-spin, managing to score just 26 runs off 24 balls while being dismissed once. If Delhi continues to persist with Pravin Dubey in the line-up, he could be an inspired punt against the all-rounder.

Ravichandran Ashwin vs Quinton de Kock

Delhi introduced Ravichandran Ashwin in the PowerPlay in Qualifier 1 in Abu Dhabi and Quinton de Kock could score only three off five balls from the off-spinner before being dismissed. Their head-to-head record in T20 cricket is stacked in favour of Ashwin: 53 runs from 66 balls with four dismissals.

The keeper-batsman has been key to Mumbai's strong starts in the PowerPlay this season. He has 483 runs with four fifties at a strike rate of 139.59. It won’t be a surprise if Delhi skipper Shreyas Iyer sticks to a similar game plan.
