IPL 2018, DD vs MI: Ro-hit's army to take on Gambhir's gang; Match Preview

Ro-hit Sharma's army will come up to take on Gambhir's gang on the first weekend of the IPL 11. Both Delhi and Mumbai have played two matches in the league but are yet to register their first win. While Delhi Daredevils have traditionally been one of the worst performers in the IPL, Mumbai also has not been able to come up to the expectations. Despite all the batting might in their line-up, no player from Mumbai has put up a half-century on the scoreboard in the last two matches.

Jasprit Bumrah and Muntazir Rahman are the two bowlers who have made name for themselves in the T20 format. Jasprit Bumrah is one death bowler who has made a special name for his death bowling skills. He is the one who can bowl consistent yorkers with the accuracy very few bowlers can deliver balls with.

Moreover, Mumbai also has the magic spinner Mayank Markande who if continues his current form can cause substantial damage to the opposition.

In case of Delhi Daredevils, Chris Morris was expected to lead Delhi's bowling attack, however, He has proved to be quite expensive with his bowling giving around 10 runs per over in the ongoing league.

Mumbai has better chances of winning the match today but only if they can materialize their bench strength on the ground and convert it into actual performance.
