Mumbai Indians look to seal IPL playoffs spot against fallible Delhi Capitals
MUMBAI: (May 20) Fighting for the only available play-off spot, Mumbai Indians will take on Delhi Capitals in a potentially decisive IPL showdown here on Wednesday with the five-time champion home team better-placed to advance against the erratic visitors.
Sunrisers Hyderabad's six-wicket thrashing of Lucknow Super Giants on Monday ended the latter's chances of making the final four, leaving Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals to fight it out. Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers have taken the first three knockout phase spots.
Both Mumbai Indians (14 points) and Delhi Capitals (13 points) are in control of their destiny for now, but it is the home side which starts favourite at the Wankhede Stadium.
