DC v MI, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires

Last year’s finalists Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will clash again, this time in a bid to procure top spot in the league, in Match 13 of IPL 2021 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday (April 20).

MI captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first on a surface which is known to increasingly slow down as the match progresses.

The reigning champions have already played three games at the venue and have made one change to the side which beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 13 runs last Saturday.

Off-spinner Jayant Yadav replaces Kiwi speedster Adam Milne with a view to maximizing the conditions on offer.

The Mumbai-based franchise has two specialized fast bowlers and as many spinners in their ranks, with the overseas players being Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard and Trent Boult.

The Delhi Capitals have also made two changes from their six-wicket victory over the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Sunday. West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer and leg-spinner Amit Mishra replace Chris Woakes and newcomer Lukman Meriwala respectively.

Rishabh Pant has deployed a bowling-heavy line-up comprising three frontline pacers and two spinners. DC’s four overseas picks include Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer and Kagiso Rabada.
