The Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will both be looking for their first wins in this year’s IPL when they face off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. Lwanele Poswayo has prepared his betting tips for Match 16 of IPL 2023.
Betting Preview
The Capitals have lost three out of three and Mumbai two out of two matches. Through a combination of injuries and personal reasons, both have struggled with player availability and have yet to find their best XIs. The home side have been too reliant on captain David Warner who’s been their standout batter with 158 runs at an average of 54. In this game. Even though he’s strike rate needs improving, I expect him to be his side’s top batter again. He’s also scored 48 or more runs in five of his last nine matches against Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai’s primary headache is their bowling attack. In Jasprit Bumrah’s absence, they were heavily dependent on Jofra Archer. But he too experienced discomfort in his right elbow and missed their previous game, against Chennai Super Kings. That has robbed their bowling unit of invaluable experience.
Neither of these sides have tasted victory yet in the 2023 IPL. I expect the side with the more explosive and talented batting lineup to win this game so back Mumbai Indians to come out on top in this battle.
