DC vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Following a defeat in the last match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Mumbai Indians (MI) will look to get their IPL 2024 season back on track when they play Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. The match will kick-off at 03:30 PM (IST), on April 27, 2024. MI kick started their season with a 20-run win over DC at Wankhede Stadium earlier in the season.
No matter how bad a team starts a season and how lowly they sit in the power rankings, a good run comprising wins can change fortunes. That’s what has happened with Delhi Capitals. Not so long ago, DC looked down and out, reeling at the wrong end of the points table, with top-four hopes hanging by a thread.
But out of nowhere, came the 6-wicket win against the Lucknow Super Giants, followed by two more wins in the next three matches.
With those three wins, DC managed to haul themselves out of the bottom pit and now sit 6th on the points table, just two points behind 2nd-placed Kolkata Knight Riders. Yes, that’s right, DC can go level on points with KKR with a win over MI in this match.
DC beat GT by four runs and recorded their third win in four games

For Mumbai Indians, the wheels are coming off once again following a run of two defeats in three games. The recent run, however, where MI lost the first three games in IPL 2024, might prove to be hazardous, considering Hardik Pandya’s team is 8th and four points behind the top four.
Unless Mumbai do a complete 180 on their current form and win at least 5 of their remaining 6 games, their season might end without the playoffs. That would be a huge fall from grace for the 5-time IPL champions.

DC vs MI Dream11 Prediction Injury and availability News
Delhi Capitals
Out of form David Warner might be overlooked once again
- With Delhi Capitals on such a good run, expect them to name the similar playing 11 they used in the last match against Gujarat Titans.
- That means, David Warner might have to contend with a place on the bench once again, with Shai Hope being named in DC’s Playing XI instead.
- The gamble of promoting Axar Patel in the batting order worked as the Indian all-rounder smashed 66 runs off 43 balls. But if DC chase in this game, expect Patel to bat at his usual position.
- Rasikh Salam was the pick of the bowler for DC against GT, as the 24-year-old picked up 3 crucial wickets. He will certainly be involved against MI.
- Other than Shai Hope, Tristan Stubbs, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Anrich Nortje will be the other three overseas players in Delhi’s Playing 11.
Mumbai Indians
- Mumbai named only three overseas players in their playing 11 when they batted first in the last match against Rajasthan Royals, with Nuwan Thushara then replacing Suryakumar Yadav when MI came to defend the target.
- MI did eventually loss the match by 9 wickets, and Thushara was one of the players who failed to turn up. So his place in Mumbai’s Playing 11 might be in danger, and if that’s the case, expect Romario Shepherd to come back into the team.
- The rest of the MI Playing XI should remain the same. Tim David, Gerald Coetzee and Mohammad Nabi should be the other three overseas players in the Mumbai team
- The likes of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya walk straight into the Mumbai Playing11.
- Nehal Wadhera impressed in the last match when he blasted 49 runs off just 24 balls. Expect him to start this match as well.
