DC vs MI Live Score: Axar Patel picked up the wicket of Rohit Sharma.
DC vs MI LIVE Score, IPL 2026: The onus was on the two most senior batters in the MI line-up, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, to bring the team back in the game. The duo played the situation perfectly, stitching together a very important partnership. They had worked together for 53 runs before a stunning catch by Nitish Rana saw Rohit Sharma walking back to the dugout.
The Delhi Capitals won the toss and put MI into bat. The Mumbai Indians did not start well as Mukesh Kumar picked up the wicket of Ryan Rickelton when the opening partnership had worked just 18 runs. He followed it up with the wicket of Tilak Varma in the same over, rocking the Mumbai Indians very early in the game.
Delhi Capitals play their first Indian Premier League 2026 game at home today at the Arjun Jaitley Stadium. They are up against five-time champions Mumbai Indians, who, in their first game, comprehensively beat Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium.
DC kicked off their IPL 2026 campaign on a good note earlier this week when they beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets at the Ekana Stadium. It wasn’t an easy win, though. Chasing 142 to win on a seamer-friendly track, Delhi found themself at 26/4 at one time, and things looked as good as over for them, but then out of nowhere, impact player Sameer Rizvi played a blinder of 70 off 47 balls. At the other end, he was well supported by South African Tristan Stubbs, 39 off 32 balls. Their unbeaten stand spared Delhi’s blushes. David Miller was supposed to join Rizvi after the fall of the fourth wicket, but then Delhi head coach Hemang Badani intervened and asked Stubbs to go in instead. The rest, as they say. is history.
In comparison, the Mumbai Indians had an easy last game. However, when KKR put up a big total of 220, things were looking a bit tricky for Hardik Pandya’s men, but then South Africa’s Ryan Rickelton and former India captain Rohit Sharma smashed 43-ball 81 and 38-ball 76 respectively to take the game completely away from Ajinkya Rahane’s KKR. Both added 148 runs for the opening stand. However, once the stand got broken, the rest of the batsmen struggled. But the opening partnership was just too good to ensure victory.
Today, MI will go into the contest as favourites. They have four 2026 T20 World Cup-winning players in their ranks: Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Jasprit Bumrah. The DC have put together a good team for this season, but on paper, they definitely look weaker. They really have to play out of their skin to beat the mighty Mumbai Indians. It may be noted that Mitchell Santner has joined the MI squad and should play today.

DC vs MI Live Score: Irfan Pathan relief for Delhi
DC vs MI Live Score: The former India allrounder says Jasprit Bumrah has an economy rate of almost 9 in Delhi, and KL Rahul has particularly played him well in the past. Delhi fans should get a lot of kick out of that remark. If Jasprit Bumrah is nullified, their chances in this match really go up. But then, one can never be too sure with Bumrah. He is too good.

DC vs MI Live Score: Pietersen advice for Delhi
DC vs MI Live Score: Isn’t he a Delhi boy? The former England batsman, who recently quit the mentor’s role at DC, says Delhi need not remember their recent performances against Mumbai to have a good day today. And he thinks Delhi have a chance provided, they play positively without carrying any old baggage. In the overall head to head, MI have won 21 matches out of 37. The rest have been won by Delhi. So, they are not too far behind. It just that they have lost some important matches, like the 2020 final.

DC vs MI Live Score: Weather update
DC vs MI Live Score: Some rain has been predicted by the department concerned but as of now, it’s pretty clear. Yes, it’s not as sunny as it is in Delhi at this time of year but still, one can’t see any signs for rain anywhere. Weather can change anytime, that’s true but let’s worry about that when we get there. Not before that. There is no point, is there any?
Apr 04, 2026 2:16:30 PM IST
DC vs MI Live Score: The Bumrah threat!
DC vs MI Live Score: If truth be told, it has to be KL Rahul taking on the mighty Jasprit Bumrah. He is a world-class batsman for sure but now he needs to be more consistent. He has scored three tons against MI in the IPL, and there is no doubt that he will take a lot of confidence from that. Big matches call for big players to put their hands up. KL Rahul needs to do that.
Apr 04, 2026 2:05:07 PM IST
DC vs MI Live Score: Big opportunity for Delhi to make a statement
DC vs MI Live Score: Everybody loves a good underdog story. DC have never won the IPL. Mumbai have done it five times, on the other hand. Delhi today must give their best to beat Mumbai. It will be a big statement of intent, if they manage so. The confidence they are going to get from beating Mumbai will be something else. If Delhi can beat Mumbai today, their title credentials will see a massive rise, no two ways about it. It can’t be stressed enough.
Apr 04, 2026 1:53:12 PM IST
DC vs MI Live Score: Will Axar Patel be the man for DC?
DC vs MI Live Score: If Mumbai have four 2026 T20 World Cup-winning players in their side, Delhi also have one of their own, none other than Axar Patel, captain of the side. In the same press conference mentioned before, he didn’t look too worried about Delhi never winning the IPL. He spoke well but Delhi need someone who is obsessed about winning the trophy. But then Delhi had David Warner, obsession personified, for several years without winning. So who knows, maybe it’s the happy-go-lucky Axar that ends up doing the job?
