IPL 2023: DC vs MI, Match 16: Pitch Report, Probable XI and Match Prediction

Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 16th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday (April 11). Notably, both teams are yet to register a win in the tournament. While DC has lost three matches in a row, MI has faced defeat in two consecutive games they played in the league so far.

The Delhi-based team’s last loss came against Rajasthan Royals (RR), where they suffered a 57-run disappointing defeat at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. David Warner (65) was the lone warrior for DC and didn’t get any support from his fellow teammates. Meanwhile, MI lost their previous game to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by seven wickets. No batter crossed the 50-run mark for the Mumbai-based team, and the bowlers failed to defend the target set as well.

Both teams will look to register their maiden win of the tournament when they face each other on April 11.

Pitch report:

The track at the Arun Jaitley Stadium favours the batter, and a high-scoring game is expected to take place at the venue. However, the spinners will also come into play as the game progresses. The average first-inning score at the ground is 175.
