Mumbai still have an outside chance of making the Indian Premier League’s playoffs, but they must win their two remaining games and hope that results elsewhere conspire in their favour.
Rohit Sharma’s side have been in good form this week, beating Rajasthan Royals by 25 runs on Monday, before securing a seven-wicket win of the Kings XI Punjab two days later.
Leading wicket taker Lasith Malinga missed both of those games, as he was on international duty with Sri Lanka.
Mumbai will again be without their specialist death bowler, but Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Gopal have thrived in his absence in a new-look attack.
The defending IPL champions also appear to have found an opening batting partnership that works, with Lendl Simmons and Mike Hussey doing the business up front.
Opponents Delhi are guaranteed to finish bottom of the table, having lost 10 of their 12 games so far.
They do have star power in their batting, with the likes of captain Kevin Pietersen, JP Duminy and Dinesh Karthik, but the standard of their fielding has been nowhere near good enough.
Prediction: Mumbai to continue their winning run at fortress Wankhede.
