DC vs MI Match Preview, IPL 2025 โ€“ Match 29

Delhi Capitals (DC) Preview

DC have looked like one of the most balanced teams this season. They enter this game after a dominating six-wicket win over RCB, maintaining their perfect record in the tournament.

Strengths & Concerns:

  • Top Order Form: KL Rahul has been sensational, anchoring the innings with consistency. His unbeaten 93 vs RCB showcased his form and leadership.

  • Middle-Order Stability: Tristan Stubbs and Sameer Rizvi are playing key finishing roles.

  • Bowling Strength: Kuldeep Yadav and Mitchell Starc have been match-winners, while Axar Patelโ€™s captaincy is tactical and aggressive.

  • Concern: Starc was wicketless in the last game, and DC will hope he bounces back in this one.

DC Predicted Playing XI:

KL Rahul (wk), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, Sameer Rizvi, Axar Patel (c), Ashutosh Sharma, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar

Impact Player: Faf du Plessis / T Natarajan


Mumbai Indians (MI) Preview

MI are going through a rough patch, having lost its last game to RCB by 12 runs while chasing a massive target of 222. With only one win in five games, MI are in desperate need of a turnaround.

Strengths & Concerns:

  • Batting Firepower: Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton are in good touch but are not converting starts into big scores.

  • All-around options: Hardik Pandya adds balance but has yet to deliver a match-winning performance.

  • Bowling Depth: Jasprit Bumrah remains their most reliable bowler. Youngster Vignesh Puthur has impressed with his left-arm spin.

  • Concerns: Rohit Sharmaโ€™s form is a big concern; he is yet to score significantly in IPL 2025.

MI Predicted Playing XI:

Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Vignesh Puthur, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult
Impact Player: Naman Dhir / Ashwani Kumar
