Mumbai Indians are all set to clash with Delhi Capitals in the 20th match of the IPL 2024 to secure their first win of the ongoing season.
In Match 20 of the 2024 IPL at the Wankhede Stadium, the Mumbai Indians (MI) will face off against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Mumbai Indians are still in search of their first win after three games this season, while Delhi Capitals have secured one victory out of four matches. The day-night clash is set to kick off in Mumbai at 15:30 local time on Sunday, April 7th.
The Mumbai Indians have had a disappointing start to their IPL campaign, suffering defeats against Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals. However, the potential return of Suryakumar Yadav could provide a much-needed boost to their side.
Facing the team currently below them in the standings, Delhi Capitals will be optimistic about securing their second win of the tournament.
