MI vs DC Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 20th Match | MI vs DC Dream11 Prediction Today Match | Wankhede Pitch Report
If we had to pick the best of the 10 teams before the start of the season, surely Mumbai Indians is one of the names one would have chosen. But, the men in blue have found it tough to get off the mark after three matches.
Fans would not mind as the team is known for firing after a slow start to the campaign. Additionally, the camp is delighted to welcome the man who has no limits – the SKY.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals arrive to the Wankhede after getting trounced by a huge 106 runs against KKR at Vizag. This was their third defeat in four games. DC’s batting unit has looked decent, so they have a chance to fight back provided their pace-heavy bowling attack and DRS decisions come good.
It is fair to say that both the teams have underperformed. As a result, they are at the bottom of the points table. May the new day bring new luck to both the sides; the Super Sunday awaits the rivalry clash between the roaring Capitals and the Bombay Paltan.

Fantasy Cricket Tips for the 20th Match of IPL 2024: Key Picks/Players to Watch for MI vs DC
Mumbai Indians:
- Ishan Kishan hasn’t been able to convert his starts in a big way thus far. But he averages 93.5 and strikes at 151 playing against Delhi Capitals and hence he will back himself to come good.
- Kishan has fantastic numbers against Nortje, Axar, Khaleel, Ishant, Marsh and Rasikh combined (150 runs, 97 balls, 0 dismissals). He has just been dismissed by Kuldeep twice, but he strikes at 184 off 25 balls against him.
- MI is lucky enough to receive the services of Suryakumar Yadav after missing just three games. The numbers say that he loves to play at his home ground Wankhede. He has scored 873 runs in 26 innings, striking at 157.
- Captain Hardik Pandya’s reputation as a player is very high and his team would want him to play according to it. He has been unlucky sometimes but has the ability to turn his luck and lead his team from the front as he did the previous two seasons.
- Adding Akash Madhwal into the XI has brought a spark in bowling attack as he scalped three wickets in the last game. He has taken 17 wickets in just nine innings and he would love to add as many as possible to the bunch.
- Jasprit Bumrah, as always, is going to be the biggest threat for the opposition batting lineup. Bowling against DC, he has 15 wickets in 10 innings at an economy of 6.72.
- Bumrah has dismissed Pant six times in 43 balls, Axar three times in 41 balls, Shaw single time in 14 balls and Marsh single time on the only ball he faced.
Delhi Capitals:
- David Warner is looking in quite good form and has scored 148 in four innings thus far. It seems like big innings from him in the offing as he will play at the Wankhede where his stats are impressive (312 runs in 10 innings with SR 155). Also batting against MI, the left hander averages 43 over his long IPL career.
- Rishabh Pant has re-announced himself to the world. The Delhi boy is top scorer for his side and has hit two back-to-back fifties at higher strike rate. Playing against MI, he has scored 372 runs at 140 strike rate and has great numbers playing at Wankhede too.
- Tristan Stubbs also impressed with his knock of 54(32) in the last game. Coach Ricky Ponting and his team would wish Stubbs to play and perform like he does in South Africa. Mumbai Indians is his former side in the IPL and he would love to perform against them.
