The 16th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is scheduled to play between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians on Tuesday 11th April 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

The worst performers of this edition of IPL are going to face each other where Delhi Capitals are going to host Mumbai Indians at their home ground, Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians had still not opened the account on the scoreboard. Delhi Capitals had lost all three played matches. They lost their opening match against Lucknow Super Giants by a margin of 50 runs and then they lost against Gujarat Titans in their second match. They faced another defeat Rajasthan Royals in their most recent match by a big margin of 57 runs. They are currently laying at the bottom of the points table. Mumbai Indians had played two matches and are still searching for a win. They lost the first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore and were beaten by Chennai Super Kings in their most recent match. The result of this match will confirm which team registers two points on the table.

Delhi Capitals are not a weak team but they had the worst start to this season of the Indian Premier League. Three losses in three matches had put this team at the bottom of the points table. Now things will be very tough for this team and they have to bounce back as soon as possible. Batting failure is one of the key reasons why they lost three consecutive matches. David Warner is leading the batting order and he had just been outstanding. He had scored two fifties in three matches but not getting any help from his fellow batters. Prithvi Shaw was good in domestic cricket but he had totally failed in IPL so far. The situation is the same for Sarfaraz Khan who was just in domestic matches but had not performed well in this big league of the world. Manish Pandey and Rilee Rossouw are available to handle the middle and lower batting order but had totally failed to give the best performance. Rilee Rossouw was just outstanding in the neighboring country league, PSL but had failed to make an impact in IPL. Delhi Capitals had more depth in the lower batting order. Rovman Powell, Abhishek Porel, and Axar Patel are big names in T20 cricket and are known as hard hitters, especially in the middle overs. The above-mentioned batting order of one of the strongest batting departments in IPL but they had not still started firing.

Delhi Capitals are also rich in the bowling department. They have the big names of white ball cricket bowlers like Khaleel Ahmed, Chetan Sakariya, Kuldeep Yadav, and Anrich Nortje but they had not made any big impact in this tournament till now. Delhi Capitals were beaten by Rajasthan Royals in their most recent match by a handsome margin of 57 runs where they won the toss and decided to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was not much impressive as they leaked 199 runs in 20 overs. Mukesh Kumar was the highest wicket-taker from their side with two wickets to his name in four overs against 36 runs. Kuldeep Yadav performed well and picked one wicket in four overs while he was charged with 31 runs. Rovman Powell was given two overs to bowl where he picked up one wicket against 18 runs. Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, and Khaleel Ahmed were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. The batting order of Delhi Capitals once again failed to perform as many of us were expecting. They could manage to score 142 runs in 20 overs while chasing the target of 200 runs. They lost their two main batsmen without having any run on the board. Lalit Yadav, David Warner, and Rilee Rossouw were the batsmen who could manage to cross the double figure. David Warner was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 65 runs to his name on 55 balls with the help of seven boundaries. Lalit Yadav scored 38 runs while he faced 24 balls and smashed five huge sixes. Rilee Rossouw had 14 runs to his name. Prithvi Shaw and Manish Pandey failed to open the account on the scoreboard.

Five times title winners of the Indian Premier League are still searching for a win after playing two matches. Mumbai Indians have a strong combination of the batting order and they have three top-order batsmen of team India but they had disappointed their fans till now. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma had not provided a good opening start in both previous matches and the rest of the batsmen had also failed. We can say that Mumbai Indians have the same story in their batting department as the Delhi Capitals. Surya Kumar Yadav had been the number-one batsman in T20 cricket for a long time but he still had not started firing for his team. They picked Cameron Green from IPL 2023 auctions to handle the middle and lower batting order but he had totally failed to prove his selection right. Tilak Varma is the only batsman from their side who had performed well in previously played matches. The team management of Mumbai Indians was hoping that Jofra Archer will replace Jasprit Bumrah but this still had not happened. He had failed to perform well in the power and also in the lower overs. He had not provided an early breakdown to the team. They had also faced a massive blow as their main bowler, Jhye Richardson is facing some injury issues and we don’t think that he will play this match. This is an interesting point that the bowlers of Mumbai Indians had picked just five wickets in two matches.

Mumbai Indians had a decent record while playing against Chennai Super Kings but they were beaten quite easily in the previous match by the margin of seven wickets with 11 balls to spare. They lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Their batting order once again failed to put a big total on the board and scored just 157 runs in 20 overs. Ishan Kishan was the highest run-scorer from their side with just 32 runs to his name on 21 balls with the help of five boundaries. Tim David was struggling in the previous matches but he scored some runs in the previous match. He had 31 runs to his account. He faced 22 balls and smashed one boundary and five huge sixes. Tilak Varma was good with the bat and scored 22 runs on 18 balls with the help of two boundaries and one huge six. The skipper, Rohit Sharma could manage to score 21 runs while Hrithik Shokeen remained not out after scoring 18 runs. He faced 13 balls and smashed three boundaries. The bowlers of Mumbai Indians once again failed to show a good performance in the previous match and leaked the target of 158 runs in 18.1 overs. They used six bowlers where Kumar Kartikeya was the most successful bowler from their side with one wicket in his account in four overs against 24 runs. Jason Behrendorff also picked one wicket while he was charged with 24 runs in three overs. Piyush Chawla was the other bower with a wicket to his name in three overs while he leaked 33 runs. Arshad Khan, Hrithik Shokeen, and Cameron Green were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket.

Delhi Capitals had faced Mumbai Indians in 32 matches where they won 15 matches and Mumbai Indians won 17 matches.

Delhi Capitals had won just one out of the most recent five matches while Mumbai Indians had won also won one out of the previous five matches.

However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, making it a little more difficult to score runs.
