Mumbai Indians is currently leading the table with the most number of points that is 10, preceded by other teams in the league

Mumbai Indians:

Having won their last five games, Mumbai Indians will think twice about tweaking their winning combination. One possibility could be to leave out the out-of-form Lasith Malinga for Tim Southee.

Delhi Daredevils:

Unlike the hosts, Delhi will have to ponder a number of changes. Angelo Mathews’s lack of impact could mean a return for Corey Anderson, named Man of the Match in his last game. If Anderson is still not fit, Carlos Brathwaite could also get a look in. They could also look at bringing in Shahbaz Nadeem for Jayant Yadav.
