Mumbai Indians have won their opening match for the first time since 2012 and looked like a force to be reckoned with in the tournament. The opening pairing of Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton picked the bones of the Kolkata bowling in the chase at Wankhede. It is the bowling that looked a tad bit rusty, and with the quality it promises, it only gets better.

Delhi Capitals, too, are considered favourites to make the playoffs like last year with the side they have. However, they have had a shaky start in the opening game against Lucknow Super Giants, chasing a smallish total on a tricky wicket; however, thanks to Sameer Rizvi’s heroics, the Capitals went over the line. But on a flat Delhi wicket, their batting and bowling will be a good match for the Mumbai Indians.

DC vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: First impressions - MI

MI break streak
It was perhaps more an anomaly than anything that Mumbai hadn't won their opening game since 2012. But there is a good reason why that streak ended in 2026, because they appear to have the best squad on paper this edition. With key overseas assets Mitch Santner and Will Jacks not even available yet, MI put out a mighty ensemble and Rohit Sharma's imperious start with the bat is just the shot in the arm they needed too.

DC's Early impact
Despite a serious wobble at the top of the order, which wouldn't worry DC's management, there were plenty of good signs for Axar Patel's side. The bowling unit looked well-rounded, with Lungi Ngidi's slower deliveries leading the show once more and T Natarajan showing glimpses of his best, aided well by Kuldeep Yadav. Then Sameer Rizvi stepped up with his best IPL knock, backing the choice to use him as Impact Sub.

DC vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: Mahela Jaywardena on Rohit Sharma

“He’s freed himself up. He’s calmer, and there’s less pressure on him without leadership responsibilities. This happens - your muscle memory takes over, and you just play naturally. We’ve encouraged him to play with that freedom,” Jayawardene said in the post-match presentation.

“From day one of the camp, he was very focused and fresh. He had some really good practice games and simulations. I was happy with how he was hitting the ball, and I thought he batted brilliantly. The way the two of them handled the bowling attack was excellent. It was a great partnership.”

DC vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: How will pitch play?

The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium (Kotla) is expected to heavily assist the batters. Since the 2023 ODI World Cup, this has been one of those grounds where scoring rates have been among the highest. During the T20 World Cup 2026, the venue produced high-scoring affairs, and it is likely to remain the same in the IPL. As it is a day game, dew is not going to play a part, so the toss won't be a factor. However, the surface has been under cover after it rained in New Delhi on the eve of the game. Thus, bowling first could still be the ideal choice.

DC vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: Welcome

Welcome to the first double-header day of the season and we have two sides who have struck early form going up against one another on a slightly muggy day in Delhi today. It will likely be another high-scoring flatbed on offer and with two quality batting sides on paper, watch out for some afternoon fireworks in the capital.

Kuldeep Yadav backs attacking mindset ahead of DC’s MI clash in IPL 2026: ‘You will be hit for runs in T20s’

In their season opener against Lucknow Super Giants, Kuldeep Yadav demonstrated his trademark resilience and tactical bravery during a high-stakes over against Mitchell Marsh. Despite being hit for a massive six on a wide delivery off the first ball of the 10th over, the Delhi Capitals spinner maintained his aggressive approach, showcasing his commitment to his wicket-taking methods even when under pressure from a power hitter.
