Top 3 key strategies for Mumbai Indians to beat Delhi Capitals today

Mumbai Indians (MI) have not had the expected start in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. After the change in captaincy and all the controversies around the team, looks like the team's morale is down as they have lost some close games along with two straight losses in the home ground which used to be their fortress.

Overall the team's collective performance is fine, however, the luck is not in their favour. However, in the match against Delhi Capitals (DC), MI will look to win the match in order to sustain itself in the tournament or else it might be the first team to get knocked out of the IPL 2024. 

Let's discuss the three things MI needs to do right to win against the Delhi Capitals:

1. Middle-order and lower-order batters should step up

While the top-order batters have shown their worth and potential, the middle-order and the lower-order batters haven't started firing up yet. The entire pressure falls on just two or three players and the whole team has to suffer in the end. Hence, the other batters should start hammering which will instill confidence in batters to perform well. 

2. Proper usage of Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler in the MI team and can give important breakthroughs to the team. As the team is searching for their first victory in the IPL 2024, Bumrah's performance is quite vital and hence, unlike other matches, MI should look to start their bowling with Bumrah as he has the ability to threaten the batters in the powerplay overs. 

3. Inclusion of Mohammed Nabi

MI lack a spin allrounder in the team and the inclusion of Mohammed Nabi will not only help them get a fine bowler but will also get a handy lower-order batter as well. Nabi is an amazing striker of the ball and can perform well according to situations. Hence, his inclusion might give MI an upper hand over the DC.
