As Suryakumar Yadav is back from an extended injury, today’s game is really important for MI since they haven’t won an IPL game yet. The team’s performance heavily relies on their batting to secure their first win.
While MI might win today’s game, chances are they’ll remain at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table. DC has only won 1 out of the 4 games played so far, placing MI at the same podium. Unless MI improves their net run rate (NRR), climbing up the points table seems unlikely.

On the other hand, Delhi secured their first win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 31. Both teams are currently at the bottom of the points table; MI at 10th and DC at 9th.
