Mumbai Indians (MI) is inarguably one of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). They have won the IPL title five times. On the other side of the spectrum, lies the Delhi-based franchise, Delhi Capitals (DC). Previously known as the Delhi Daredevils (DD), they managed to reach the knockout stages only four times in fourteen editions of the IPL. MI has won the Champions League T20 (CLT20) twice whereas DC are yet to win the CLT20 as well.
However, the head-to-head battle does not reflect this. The two teams have played each other 32 times in the IPL. Mumbai Indians have won 17 games and Delhi Capitals have won 15 times. They faced each other for the first time on 4 May 2008 at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. MI set DC a target of 163.
Delhi fell short by a big margin of 29 runs and were all out for just 133. Ashish Nehra, Shaun Pollock, and Dhawal Kulkarni bagged three, two, and two wickets each. In their latest encounter, MI won the match by 6 wickets off the last ball of the match, and Rohit Sharma was adjudged the player-of-the-match for his 65 off 45 balls.
Out of the 33 encounters so far, Mumbai Indians have won 18 while Delhi Capitals have won 15.
