In the 55th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians will face Delhi Daredevils in a do-or-die clash at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi on Sunday.
While Delhi have nothing to lose after being already out of the race for the play-offs, the Rohit Sharma-led side still has a chance to advance to the next stage, which only a win in their last league encounter and better net run-rate (NRR) could guarantee them.

Apart from Mumbai, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) also have 12 points and with a sole match remaining for Mumbai, any of the two teams could make to the final four.
With the race for the play-offs becoming an interesting scenario, Mumbai will have to register a win with a huge margin to further boost their chance.
After a lacklustre show in the first half of the season, Mumbai finally shifted gears to win four of their last five games, keeping themselves alive in the cash-rich league.
In their last game, Mumbai pipped Punjab by a meagre three-run margin. However, what could be a major relief for the team management would be Keiron Pollard finding his touch back.
