We are done with 20 matches so far! It has been an exciting journey so far. Tonight, Mumbai Indians lock horn with Delhi Daredevils at Ferozshah Kotla Stadium. Watch the action live through Star Sports live streaming on Hotstar live match streaming on mobile. Enjoy the action live on TV through Sony Pix and Sony Max live telecast in Hindi and English.
Ferozshah Kotla lately hasn't been a good hunting ground for the home team. Delhi Daredevils have lost their last nine matches here. They would be eager to register a win here after such a long time. On the other hand we have Mumbai Indians who got a very poor start to the IPL this season. They suffered four losses on the trot. Their first win came in the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai Indians is in a sparkling form. He has consistently contributed to the team's total. But the team needs consistent scorers to support him. At times Corey Anderson plays a blinder and at times its Harbhajan or Pollard. They need good contributions from the top order batsmen. Even the bowling hasn't been upto the mark. Lasith Malinga is always good with is yorkers but he hasn't been as effective as he used to be. Harbhajan Singh is doing a great job not only with the ball but also with the bat.
Talking about Delhi's skipper JP Duminy, he can do well with both bat and ball. His one all round performance can turn tables on the opposition. Shreyas Iyer needs to be good at the top to lay a good run foundation. Likes of Yuvraj Singh have been good in patches. The 33 year old all rounder has to contribute more if the team has to win.
Overall both the teams have won nine matches each while playing against each other. Last year Delhi defeated Mumbai at Sharjah. In the return fixture, Mumbai returned the favours to Delhi with brilliant knocks from Michael Hussey and Lendl Simmons.
Delhi Daredevils will next face Royal Challengers Bangalore on 26th April at home. Mumbai Indians will host Sunrisers Hyderabad on 25th April.
