Delhi Capitals take on Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.
The match will be played on Tuesday, April 11 with play commencing at 7:30pm local time (3pm GMT).
The game will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Two sides still searching for their first win of the season.
Delhi Capitals sit bottom of the table, without a win from three matches and with a net run rate of -2.092. Their bowling attack has leaked in excess of 190 runs on two occasions while their batting line-up has passed 150 just once. Captain David Warner is pretty much the only Capitals player to find form in the IPL to date, scoring 158 runs, including two half-centuries.
Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, have lost their opening two matches, suffering an eight-wicket defeat against RCB and a seven-wicket defeat against CSK. Tilak Varma has impressed for the Indians, scoring 106 runs at a strike rate of 165.32, but no other player has scored more than 50 runs. The bowling attack, meanwhile, has taken just five wickets.
Delhi Capitals are without talismanic captain, batter and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant for the entire season due to injury.
Bowler Jofra Archer missed Mumbai's clash with CSK as a precaution. The quick is managing a "little niggle" in his right elbow, according to head coach Mark Boucher. Could Riley Meredith be brought into the attack for this fixture? The Australian joined Mumbai as a replacement for Jhye Richardson and with the rest of the bowlers struggling, it might be time to shake things up.

As mentioned, Varma is the only Mumbai Indians player to score more than 50 runs with the bat and he showcased his ability to change the course of a match against RCB, blasting 84 runs off 46 deliveries as he steered his side from 20 for 3 to 171 for 7. It wasn't nearly enough for the win but at least it was a competitive total.
Given the struggles of his teammates, you'd suspect keeping Varma quiet should go a long way towards helping Delhi Capitals pick up their first points of the season.

Mumbai Indians are the favourites to win this encounter, with odds of 4/5. Delhi Capitals are available at 11/10.
Varma is cutting a lonely figure with the bat for Mumbai and their bowling attack hasn't looked at all threatening. Delhi Capitals haven't been much better but even they should be too strong for the Indians. Capitals win.
