Analysis:
Delhi has a balanced XI with experience and home advantage. Starc and Kuldeep can control the middle overs, and their batting line-up is explosive. However, Mumbai’s deeper squad and players like Bumrah, SKY, and Hardik give them a slight edge in pressure situations.
Toss Factor: Winning the toss and bowling first could be decisive due to dew.
CrickTab Final Prediction:
Mumbai Indians to win – Superior death bowling, explosive middle order, and in-form leadership.
