Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Pitch Report
The pitch at the Brabourne stadium has proven to be of equal assistance to the bowlers as well as the batters. It has been seen that spinners play an important role here once the shine of the ball is gone, and receive a significant amount of spin from the pitch. The pacers find help from the surface during the initial stages of the match. The short boundaries and quick outfield make Brabourne Stadium a candidate for high-scoring games.
The average score here is 147 which means there is usually a tough competition between the bat and the ball here.

It is evident from the records that both sides offer fierce competition to each other whenever they are up against each other.
