Wicketkeeper – Nicholas Pooran

DCP vs MIE Probable Winners:

The MI Emirates will start the match as favourites. Giants enter the match as defending champions, looking to make a statement in the first game. They retained the majority of their squad from the previous season and appear to have more batting depth and bowling quality. The Warriors are also strong on paper, but the Giants appear to be slightly better. So we’re rooting for the MI Emirates to win. Considering the team combination, MI Emirates is expected to win this match.
