The Mumbai Indians will take on the Delhi Capitals in Match 46 of the Indian Premier League 2021 on October 2 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
The Rishabh Pant-led side lost their last match against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the same venue. However, they won’t be sweating much over the loss as they are just one win away from securing a spot in the playoffs.
Delhi Capitals are second on the points table. They have 16 points in 11 matches so far, with a Net Run Rate of +0.56. Their opener, Prithvi Shaw, who missed the last game, is expected to make a comeback against Mumbai Indians. With a great blend of experience and youthfulness, Delhi Capitals is one of the strong contenders to lift the title this year.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are living on the edge for a playoffs spot this year. They have 10 points from 11 matches, so far in the league. The Rohit Sharma-led side needs to win all of their remaining three games, to stand a chance to qualify.
Mumbai’s recent win against the Punjab Kings must boost their confidence. They will be happy with all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s performance in the match, along with Saurabh Tiwary. With Mumbai Indians slowly getting back their mojo, they could be a threat to the oppositions in the league.
It was truly a 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕 that got us over the line! 💙
