Mumbai Indians is on a loosing streak in the IPL 2024. Will they be able to change their fate?
Delhi Capitals manage to secure one single win that too against one of the most powerful team of the IPL of all time and that is Chennai Super Kings. Out of 4 matches, Delhi lost their 3 matches and they are in the 9th place in the points table. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians is on a constant loosing streak with 3 consecutive looses and standing in the 10th place. Everyone is accusing Hardik Pandya for these looses but the real reason is not the change in captaincy. Today they are going to played at Wankhede at 3:30 P.M.
Team Analysis of Delhi Capitals
The 2024 IPL for Delhi Capitals is all about the comeback of Rishabh Pant after a horrific accident. Delhi Capitals have the best players in both batting and bowling lineup. With Rishabh Pant, David Warner, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel, and Prithvi Shaw. Even though Pant has not played last year but still he is performing like a seasoned player.Last year Mitchell Marsh and Prithvi Shaw struggled but this year they are also very aggressively playing.The bowling lineup of Delhi Capitals is very promising with Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmad, Mukesh Kumar, and Anrich Nortje.
So, where is the problem with Delhi?
The problem with Delhi lies in their lineup itself. The top order batsman are amazing and even to the five holer they have a strong lineup but after 6th place they don’t have a strong batsman who could handle the pressure of run chase after 5 wickets down. For eg. Chennai has some of the best batting lineup even after 5 wickets like Ravindra Jadeja, and MS Dhoni (who came after 7 wickets) have the ability to handle the pressure of run chase.
Similarly, in the bowling department Khaleel Ahmad is doing great job at bowling and fielding. But the players like Ishant Sharma and Anrich Nortje is not able to take as much as wickets they should take which in result increase pressure on the team. But they still have the opportunity to comeback in the game and in today’s match we will see whether they take this opportunity OR not.
Team Analysis of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians has a star batting lineup in 2023 and it helped the team to reach playoffs even though the bowling lineup of Mumbai struggles in the absence of Bumrah. This year the management has decided to shift the captaincy to Hardik Pandya from Rohit Sharma. Now, they have India’s top batsman Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik himself along with Tim David, Romario Shepherd, and Dewald Brevis. However, with a good batting lienup the team is still struggling to win a single match.
So, Where is the problem?
According to our cricket experts, the problem lies in the bowling department that they were not able to solve from the last year. This year many of the teams have improved their bowling department and this is why they are able to cut down the run chase and also helped their team in getting low target to chase.
The coach of Mumbai Indians Mark Boucher needs to work on his bowling lineup because a batsman will score runs for your team but a bowler will help to cut down the run chase every match giving the team less pressure.

Pitch Report
The Wankhede offers a good batting pitch as the surface is flat giving a good bounce allowing the batsman to hit shots. The boundaries are relatively shorter giving an additional advantage to the batsman to scores most runs once his bat is open.
But it is not just heaven to the batsmen but also offers a slight advantage to spin bowlers. The dew factor also play its role for the bowlers especially. The team choosing to bowl first will have upper hand in the game to twist the ball and play with its seam.
Having a home ground has its advantage but it seems like no advantage is working in the favor of Mumbai Indians. Now what our experts believe is that the team captain, coach and former captain need to sit together and make new strategy for the team.
