MI vs DC Dream 11 Fantasy Tips 2021

The Mumbai Indians will definitely start as the favourites in this match as they are coming off a superb win over Punjab in their most recent game. Mumbai Indians also defeated Delhi Capitals in all of the four matches during the last IPL played in these UAE conditions. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have looked the better team in this entire tournament and which is why they have already qualified for the playoffs, but they would want to grab the winning momentum.

MI Top Picks

For the Mumbai Indians, both their batters and bowlers will be aiming to build on the winning momentum from the previous match. The likes of Trent Boult, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jasprit Bumrah and Rahul Chahar were excellent with the ball in the previous game. Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Quinton de Kock will have to take some more responsibility in the batting department.

Rohit Sharma

For the Mumbai Indians, captain Rohit Sharma has surely been their best batsman in the ongoing edition of the tournament. Alongside his opening partner Quinton de Kock, the senior Indian batsman has provided his IPL franchise with some consistent starts at the top this season. Also, he scored a brilliant half–century in the IPL 2020 final against Delhi Capitals. Rohit Sharma has scored more than 250 runs this year at a fine strike-rate as well.

Jasprit Bumrah

Mumbai Indians’ pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been in an absolutely stunning form in this ongoing IPL 2021 Phase 2 and the good news for the Indian team as well is that he is picking wickets at regular basis. Bumrah picked up three wickets each in back-to-back matches against Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. He also finished with two crucial scalps in the last win against Punjab. He will surely be an important clog if Mumbai Indians have to qualify for the playoffs.

DC Top Picks

The Delhi Capitals would want that both their batsmen and bowlers continue delivering exceptional performances as they have done so far in the Indian Premier League 2021 season. The likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Steve Smith, Shreyas Iyer and skipper Rishabh Pant will be their important clogs in the batting department in this game as well.

Shikhar Dhawan

For the Delhi Capitals, senior opener Shikhar Dhawan has been in a terrific form with the bat in the last two seasons of the tournament.

He scored an impressive 42-run innings in the winning cause for the Delhi Capitals against Hyderabad.

Kagiso Rabada

Delhi Capitals’ pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada has delivered superb performances in the last two games against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan. The South African speedster picked up the vital wickets of Wriddhiman Saha, Manish Pandey and Abdul Samad. Also, Rabada was absolutely sensational when the Indian Premier League was last held in the UAE conditions where he ended up picking a total of 30 wickets at an average of 18.26.
