Matches 6 | DC 3 | MI 3
Two of the best teams in the history of the tournament, DC and MI, have always had close affairs. Mumbai lost to Delhi in their first match of the competition but have been in great form since then. Expect MI to get another win and stretch that match-winning streak to four games.
254 runs in four innings at an average of 127 and a strike rate of 155.83 - Nat Sciver-Brunt is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament. With scores of 80*, 57, 42 and 75*, Sciver-Brunt will once again be expected to lead MI’s batting unit.
Guess what, Sciver-Brunt is not just the best batter in the competition but she also has the joint-most wickets. The all-rounder from England has seven wickets at an average of 17.43.
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has proven to be pretty high-scoring so far, with the average first innings score at the venue reading 159.
It’s a ‘chase at all costs’ venue, with there so far being just one instance of a team batting first and successfully winning the contest.
There is a 10% chance of rain in Bengaluru on February 28 (Friday) but we should get a full game. The temperature is expected to be pleasant, with it hovering around the early to mid-20s.
