PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:
In the second half of the IPL, the Delhi Capitals (DC) lost a bit of their way. Three matches on the trot have been lost and they have yet to qualify. Their next rivals, the Mumbai Indians (MI), are the table-toppers and the only team to qualify for the playoffs. In the last few games, Shreyas Iyer and his men have fallen behind and the teams seem to have a way of tackling them. To have a chance to defeat MI, they will have to come up with a herculean effort.
MI was invincible this season, on the other hand. Kieron Pollard has led the team well, despite their usual skipper Rohit Sharma not playing the last few matches, and apart from a blip against Rajasthan Royals (RR), the four-time champions are playing some exceptional cricket. They are going to hope that the winning momentum will keep going ahead of the playoffs.
WEATHER CONDITION:
The sun will shine brightly in Dubai in the afternoon. Although the temperature will hover around 30-32 degrees Celsius during the match, there is no possibility of rain at all.
PITCH REPORT:
In Dubai, the surface was decent. In the afternoon, chasing teams did better and the team winning the toss would chose to bowl first.

There is no update still on MI skipper Rohit Sharma’s availability. He is likely to miss this game too.
