DC vs MI, IPL 2023: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number 16 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, April 11.

Both teams have struggled in the competition so far and find themselves at the bottom of the points table. While DC have lost three out of three, MI have played two and lost two.

In their previous match, Delhi went down to the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 57 runs. Bowling first, DC failed to make an impact on RR’s batters, who put 199/4 on the board. In reply, Delhi were held to 142/9. DC’s batting has been a big letdown. Skipper David Warner has been the only one who has been consistent but has been unable to bat freely due to the lack of support.

MI were pedestrian in the much-hyped El Clasico clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Batting first, they managed only 157/8 on the board, with not a single batter scoring a half-century. Tilak Varma is the only batter who has looked in form. Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav need to get among the runs.

Today's DC vs MI pitch report

According to Ian Bishop and Chris Morris, it’s quite an interesting-looking pitch. There's a lot of grass halfway down the pitch but in the three to four-meter length, there's a bit of patchy grass and a few bare patches. That tells you that there might be a bit of an indifferent bounce. It's important to hit those patches consistently. Quick outfield and wind will play a factor today and there's a short boundary.
