MI vs DC IPL 2026 Preview
Mumbai Indians head into their next fixture still reeling from a dramatic last-ball loss to RCB in the tournament opener. Despite the setback, the 2023 and 2025 champions remain one of the most well-balanced units in the league. Harmanpreet Kaur continues to lead a strong, experienced group featuring a world-class overseas lineup in Nat Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews, and Amelia Kerr – all capable of changing a match with either discipline. The addition of Shabnim Ismail further sharpens their bowling attack, giving MI genuine pace firepower to challenge Delhi’s strong top order.
Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, embark on a new chapter this season. With Meg Lanning no longer at the helm, Jemimah Rodrigues steps in as captain, aiming to finally guide the franchise to the title after three successive final heartbreaks. Determined to shake off their “nearly there” reputation, DC has strengthened their squad with the powerful batting of Laura Wolvaardt and the crafty leg-spin of Alana King. Add to that the explosive opening combination of Shafali Verma and Wolvaardt – among the most intimidating in the competition – and Delhi enters the contest with serious firepower and renewed ambition.

With both teams well-balanced, this clash at DY Patil Stadium promises a high-intensity battle, but MI’s all-round depth could give them a slight edge.
