Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians meet in an afternoon fixture at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, 4 April, the eighth match of IPL 2026. The first ball is scheduled for 3:30 pm local time.
Delhi’s squad includes KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Ben Duckett, Karun Nair and Pathum Nissanka, with Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav and Lungi Ngidi in the bowling group. Mumbai, captained by Hardik Pandya, bring Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks, plus Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner.
A flat pitch and short boundaries favour batters, and a score above 185 would be very competitive. Because this is a daytime game, there is no heavy dew, so chasing is still possible but the heat may slow the surface for the side batting second. Our preview picks Mumbai Indians to win.
