IPL 2020 playoffs: MI vs DC toss prediction
Delhi Capitals has failed to win two of its league matches against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020. However, Delhi batters were able to put up a good show while chasing as compared to batting first. So, Delhi Capitals would look to bowl first after winning the toss

Bowlers key for Delhi Capitals' success
The inconsistency in the batting lineup has often seeped into their otherwise strong bowling attack. Kagiso Rabada (25 wickets) and compatriot Anrich Nortje (19 wickets) will again be DC's go-to men. Like Bumrah and Boult, the South African pace duo would also eye support from experienced Ravichandran Ashwin (10 wickets) and Axar Patel (8 wickets) to further reinforce their bowling attack.

Batting woes for Delhi Capitals
DC has been plagued with inconsistency in their batting lineup which they will have to guard themselves against as they face two of the most lethal new ball bowlers in the world. Opener Prithvi Shaw (228 runs) has struggled to find form since his rapid start to the season and the same can be said about Rishabh Pant (282 runs) since he made his comeback from injury. Captain Shreyas Iyer (421 runs) will have to lay the foundation of something challenging on board.

Key batsmen for Delhi Capitals
MI have put up all-round performances in the batting line-up, evidenced by the fact that only Quinton de Kock (443 runs from 14 games) features in the top 10 of the highest run scorers.
And yet, MI have comfortably managed to put big totals on board. They were, however, at the receiving end in their last league match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Tuesday. They had rested ace fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah (23 wickets) and Trent Boult (20) which resulted in MI failing to take a single wicket against SRH.
Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya will look to build on the momentum down the order.

IPL 2020, Qualifier 1: Mumbai India vs Delhi Capitals
Reigning champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will face Delhi Capitals (DC), looking to shake off the ghosts that haunted them in the closing stages of the league phase, in the first Qualifier of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Dubai International stadium.
The team that lose the match will get a lifeline, and both sides will be looking to avoid playing the extra match.
MI have always been a strong contender for the title, and this season is no different. Ticking all the boxes so far, the Rohit Sharma-led side are clear favourites on Thursday.
MI have put up all-round performances in the batting line-up, evidenced by the fact that only Quinton de Kock (443 runs from 14 games) features in the top 10 of the highest run scorers.

The match would hence be seen as a one-off for MI and the threat of Bumrah and Boult tearing into the DC top order, which has looked fragile in their final league matches.
