Impact players for Delhi - Mukesh Kumar, Aman Khan, Sarfaraz Khan, Pravin Dubey, Ishant Sharma.

Delhi (Playing XI) - David Warner (C), Prithvi Shaw (In for Mukesh Kumar), Manish Pandey, Yash Dhull (In for Khaleel Ahmed), Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Abishek Porel (WK), Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman (In for Rilee Rossouw).

Impact Players for Mumbai - Tristan Stubbs, Tim David, Kumar Kartikeya, Arjun Tendulkar, Ramandeep Singh.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera (In for Tim David), Hrithik Shokeen, Arshad Khan, Jason Behrendorff, Piyush Chawla, Riley Meredith (In for Tristan Stubbs).

David Warner, the captain of Delhi, says they would have bowled first as well. Adds that they need to find the rhythm and get sharper as a group and when you lose wickets regularly it is always hard to come back. Informs that they have a forced change as Khaleel Ahmed is injured and Yash Dhull comes in for him. Also adds that Rilee Rossouw makes way for Mustafizur Rahman.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai says that they will bowl first. Adds that they haven't done well batting first and thought having a total to chase could be good for them. Shares that the pitch looks dry and dew might be a factor. Mentions that the senior players need to step up when things are not going right. Informs Riley Meredith comes in for Tristan Stubbs and Jofra Archer is still unavailable.

TOSS - Mumbai have won the toss and they have decided to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Ian Bishop is pitchside. He says that one of the square boundaries is the shortest but hitting down the ground will be a bit difficult. Chris Morris joins him and says that there are some grass patches on it and there may be some uneven bounce. Tells that the pacers can use the short balls to their advantage, but the batters can play their shots too. Says that the dew can be a factor and teams will be looking to chase.

Mumbai, on the other hand, are struggling just like last season, and they need to turn things around quickly. The big names like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Cameron Green haven't been at their best, but the positive thing for them is that youngsters like Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera have shown some quality. Their bowling looks a bit weak without Bumrah, and Jofra Archer is yet to find his feet. Piyush Chawla has to use his experience to handle things for them and guide the youngsters. They will hope that things click in this game and their star players get their form back to register their first victory of the season. It is very tough to pick a winner, and we will have to wait to find out who gets the better of the other. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

Delhi have lost three games in a row, which is not the start they would have hoped for this season. David Warner has scored runs in all games, but he has struggled with his strike rate a bit. However, that could also be due to the fact that he has had no support from any other batters. Their bowling has also been inconsistent, but with Anrich Nortje back in the side, it gives them good balance. They have a decent team, but the players haven't lived up to the expectations, and this game is a perfect opportunity to get their first win.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of Match 16 in the Indian T20 League where we are in to witness an age-old rivalry between Mumbai and Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Both teams are still searching for their first win of the season and as the stakes are high for this match, we can expect a close contest.

... MATCH DAY ...

Match number 16 in the Indian T20 League, 2023, will see a clash of teams with similar fortunes, as Delhi will host Mumbai at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. As things stand, Delhi find themselves languishing at the bottom with no wins from their three games, whereas Mumbai are placed a spot above them in ninth place with two losses from as many matches. As far as Delhi are concerned, they suffered their third straight loss in their last outing against Rajasthan. After opting to bowl first, the Delhi bowlers could not find much success, and they were set a daunting target to chase. With the bat, their batters could not keep up with the required run rate and fell short by 57 runs. In the batting department, skipper David Warner has truly led from the front without much support from the rest of the batting unit. The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Rilee Rossouw, and Rovman Powell will hold the key to Delhi’s efforts to bring their campaign on track. Delhi's bowlers have lacked sharpness in the three games, and it is about time the likes of Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, and Kuldeep Yadav step up. Their opponents, Mumbai, were handed their second defeat of the campaign in the previous encounter by Chennai. After being put into bat and getting off to a solid start, Mumbai lost their way and could only muster 157 runs. With not a big total to defend, Mumbai's bowlers tried hard, but it did not prove to be enough on the night. Like Delhi, Mumbai’s batting has not clicked, with Tilak Varma being the lone warrior. As Mumbai search for their first win of the campaign, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav will be crucial with the bat. Piyush Chawla has been a revelation with his leg spin, and so was Kumar Kartikeya in the last game against Chennai. Jofra Archer was rested as a precautionary measure in the last game, and Mumbai fans will be hoping for his swift return to strengthen the blunt-looking pace attack. Both teams have shown moments of brilliance and are fighting for their first win. Who are you backing to claim their first points of the season?
