DC vs MI: Team news for today’s IPL 2023 match
Delhi Capitals have had nothing going for them so far in IPL 2023. They have lost their first three matches, and have some major issues to fix in their batting department, especially in the middle order. David Warner has been their only contributor with the bat, scoring 158 runs at a strike rate of 117.04, with the next highest scorer being Axar Patel who has notched up 54 runs batting at No.7 and No.8.
They will hope that someone from their batting lineup apart from Warner turns up tonight. Prithvi Shaw has had three failures and is due for a big score, and so is Rilee Rossouw. DC tried Manish Pandey in the last game at No.3 and he was dismissed for a golden duck. There’s a chance that they might look at the young Yash Dhull in his place tonight.
MI meanwhile, have major issues with their bowling. They have named Riley Meredith as the replacement for Jhye Richardson, and if Jofra Archer is not fit for tonight’s game, Meredith might get a go. Their batters have underperformed as well, except Tilak Varma, but MI would be more than confident that the likes of Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav will bounce back and hit the ground running soon.

DC vs MI: IPL prediction for today’s match 16
Both DC and MI are languishing at the bottom of the table. MI’s relatively weak bowling attack will be up against the under-confident DC batting lineup tonight. If Archer plays, then MI will start as favourites, given the fact that Archer has a great record against DC’s only in-form batter Warner. If he doesn’t, expect a more even contest, with MI starting out as slight favourites given their star-studded batting lineup which will be itching to make a mark.
