"IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians will meet Delhi Capitals today in a match that's expected to be a thriller. MI are yet to open its account, and Suryakumar Yadav is coming after a long injury. Can he help his team beat DC that have won just 1 game out of 4 this IPL season?"

Today's IPL Match: Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will clash on April 7 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This will be the first match of the day, which will start at 3:30 pm.

Today's match is going to be a very important one for MI as they are yet to register a win this IPL season, with Suryakumar Yadav making a comeback after a long injury. The team will rely heavily on his batting chops to win its first game.

Even if MI win today's game, the chances are they will continue to remain at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table. DC have won just 1 game out of 4 played and MI will be at the same podium. Unless MI improve its Net Run Rate (NRR), they are unlikely to climb up the points table.

Delhi, on the other hand, secured their first win on March 31 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). These two teams are at the bottom of the points table at the moment; MI at number 10 and DC at number 9.
