Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will clash in the 27th match of IPL 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday (October 11).
A win in this match for either of these two sides will do a ton of good to their confidence going ahead in the tournament. The contest will also see Rohit Sharma, one of the best skippers in IPL history, taking on Shreyas Iyer – the youngest skipper in IPL 2020. After a slow start, MI have hit top form, winning their last three games quite convincingly. DC also have looked one of the most settled teams this season and like MI, they are also high on confidence after a hat-trick of wins.
Pitch Report
The pitch in Abu Dhabi looks equally good for batting and bowling. If a batsman spends some time in the middle, he will enjoy scoring some runs on this tricky surface. Anything above 160 is difficult to chase at this venue.
