Mumbai Indians have won four out of the last five matches and lost just one. They played their last match against Gujarat Titans where they lost by three wickets. Will Jacks scored 53 runs while Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah and Ashwani Kumar took 2 wickets each. Irrespective of that match, their recent form seems to be strong.
On the other hand, the condition of the Delhi Capitals is quite bad. In the last five matches they have won just one, lost two, one match had no result and in the last match they lost badly to Gujarat. KL Rahul played a wonderful innings of 112 runs but even after that his team could not defend. GT chased the target of 199 without losing any wicket and no bowler from Delhi got a single wicket.
Wankhede Stadium Mumbai have always produced high-scoring matches. The pitch here is very helpful for batting, the ball comes on the bat easily. Especially in night matches the chasing team gets a slight edge. So far 124 matches have been held here in which the chasing team has won 68 times. The average first innings score is 170, but in the second innings also the scores are around 160. So fans can get to watch one more match full of runs.
A total of 36 matches have been played between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in which Mumbai has won 20 times while Delhi has won 16 matches. In 2025, there was a fierce contest between the two teams in which MI won by 12 runs. Tilak Verma scored 59 runs and Karn Sharma changed the flow of the match by taking 3 important wickets while DC's Karun Nair played an explosive innings of 89 runs.
In 2024 also there were two tough matches between the two teams. In one match Mumbai Indians won by 29 runs while in the other match Delhi Capitals took revenge by 10 runs. Overall this rivalry has always been close and both the teams have the power to defeat each other.

Faf has scored 191 runs in 150 balls and got out 5 times. He faced 70 dot balls. He hit 24 fours and 6 sixes. His strike rate is 127.3 and average is 38.2.
Rohit has scored 32 runs in 30 balls and got out 6 times. He faced 17 dot balls. He has hit 2 fours and 2 sixes. His strike rate is 106.7 and average is just 5.3.
Suryakumar has become the most important batsman for MI at this time. He did not get out three times in the last 5 matches and scored impactful runs every time. Knocks like 68*, 54 and 48* clearly show that he is in full form. When he is on the crease, the mood of the match changes. Ignoring him with this form can be risky.
Bumrah's rhythm is amazing this season. He has taken 11 wickets in the last 5 games, including a 4-wicket haul. Both line and length are perfect. His bowling becomes even more dangerous in the death overs. If you need bowling points, don't miss Bumrah.
KL Rahul has given consistent performance this season. In the recent match, he also scored an unbeaten century of 112*. Before this, stable knocks like 57* and 41 have also come. He knows how to score runs and remains calm even under pressure. He is playing as an anchor in DC's batting order. Looks like a safe pick with this form.
Kuldeep's form has gone down a bit. Did not get a single wicket in the last 4 matches. He was effective at the start of the first season but now he looks a bit dull. Variations are not working and his confidence also seems a bit low. He is a risky pick, will be safe only when he regains his form.
Jacks has given some impactful moments, like 53 against GT and 2 wickets against LSG. But consistency is a bit missing. Sometimes he gives away runs, sometimes he flops. All-round value is definitely good but the output is not the same in every match. A better pick for GL.
Nigam’s recent games have been mixed. He gave an all-round show of 38 runs and 2 wickets against KKR, but in the subsequent matches he did not show much impact with the ball. He comes a bit down in batting but sometimes takes valuable runs as well. A strong pick for GL as he can contribute in both the departments.
Dhir has given good knocks sometimes in the season. Whenever he gets a chance, he scores runs, but that too comes in the lower order. Wankhede pitch is helpful for batting, that is why the top order plays more. It is not fixed whether Dhir comes to bat or not. It is a bit risky, so you can try it in GL, but it will be better to stay away from the safe team.
Rizvi bats at the bottom and his form is also going down. On a pitch like Wankhede where the top batsmen score more runs, it is difficult for him to get a chance to bat. And even if he gets a chance, then according to his form, nothing much is expected. It would be better to avoid it in a safe team.
