HEAD-TO-HEAD guide | Here's how Mumbai and Delhi have done in the playoffs over the years and how they match up against each other.
Last IPL meeting:
MI (111/1 in 14.2 overs) beat DC (110/9 in 20 overs) by 9 wickets.
In their reverse league stage fixture of this edition, the sides locked horns in Dubai on October 31, Saturday. It was a one-sided affair as Mumbai trumped Delhi by a convincing nine-wicket win. Bowling first, Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah ran through DC's batting line-up with a three-wicket haul each. In response, youngster Ishan Kishan smashed a 47-ball 72 to see his team over the line.
Top performers so far-MI :
| Top-scorers | Top wicket-takers |
| Quinton de Kock (443) | Jasprit Bumrah (23) |
| Ishan Kishan (428) | Trent Boult (20) |
| Suryakumar Yadav (410) | Rahul Chahar (15) |
Defending champion Mumbai Indians may have been thrashed by 10 wickets by Sunrisers Hyderabad, but going into Thursday’s first qualifier against Delhi Capitals at the Dubai International Stadium, it is the firm favourite.
For MI, Tuesday's game was a dead-rubber, having already sealed top spot. It used the opportunity to rest three of its best players in Jasprit Bumrah (23 wickets), Trent Boult (20 wickets) and Hardik Pandya, a luxury most teams cannot afford. That’s how much of a well-oiled machine MI is.
If anything, the match against SRH can be considered a positive, for skipper Rohit Sharma emerged unscathed after his return from a hamstring injury.
