DC vs MI Predicted Playing XII
DC Playing XI
David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Roussow, Sarfaraz Khan, Rovman Powell, Abhishek Porel, Axar Patel, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje
David Warner has been among the runs but his strike-rate has been far from his normal style of play. Shots he normally would have smoked over the fence have now started to go along the ground with Warner struggling to find gaps. DC, for their fortunes will hope he finds his explosive touch once more as they struggle to find victories.
Rohit Sharma
A flat track and struggling bowling attack ahead leaves Rohit Sharma with a great chance of making an impact and reminding his worth as a batter in the IPL. He has the shots, his international form has been decent, and he will be waiting to play a good innings in a tournament which has not seen his impact in a while.

Rivalries to Watch out For
David Warner vs Jofra Archer: David Warner has been dismissed by Jofra Archer twice in the 2020 season, when they last faced off, and has shown that he struggles against the pace of Archer. With Archer not in full flow yet though it will be interesting to see if he can still get the better of Warner.
DC vs MI Match Tips
Given Delhi’s line-up, they do have a decent chance despite losing three games in a row. MI have struggled too, and their line-up does not look as promising as Delhi’s.
