IPL 2017: Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils, 5 winning factors

#4 Mumbai’s powerful middle order vs Delhi’s disciplined death overs bowling

Kieron Pollard has played some key knocks down the order

In Rana, Rohit, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya and Pollard, the Mumbai Indians have a powerful middle order capable of plundering plenty of runs in the latter half of an innings. In fact, stats suggest that they are the highest scoring team between the 16^th and 20^th over, scoring at more than 12 per over.

However, today, they are up against a team that has the best bowling record in this period of play. Delhi Daredevils concede runs at a very respectable 7 per over in the death overs. Chris Morris has been DD’s go-to man in these situations and he has always delivered economical spells for them.

The outcome of today’s match could well be decided by how and whether Mumbai Indians’ mighty batting order get the better of DD’s pinpoint bowling in the end overs.
