The Mumbai Indians are all set to take on the Delhi Capitals as the playoff qualification scenarios begin to turn more dramatic as days progress. Mumbai Indians have already qualified for the playoffs as they became the first side in the tournament to confirm their spot in the playoffs as Chennai Super Kings defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Which is why it is very important for Delhi Capitals to win the match against Mumbai Indians and ensure their qualification for the playoffs.

Let’s take a look at the five key players to watch out for when Mumbai Indians lock horns with Delhi Capitals:
1. Suryakumar Yadav
The Mumbai batsmen have looked in fine form this season for the Mumbai Indians franchise. In the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Suryakumar Yadav took the responsibility to finish off the match and eventually did the job.
