It's a do-or-die match for Mumbai Indians, who take on struggling Delhi Daredevils in a must-win Indian Premier League clash, at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, on Friday.

The return to their fortress, Wankhede stadium, where they have suffered just one defeat in the last 11 games, spreading over to last season, will be a comforting factor for skipper Rohit Sharma.

Sharma himself exuded the belief that his side can still make the play-offs after lifting themselves to fifth on the eight-team league table.

The defending champions have to win their game against the Daredevils as well as the next one on Sunday against Rajasthan Royals to take their points tally to 14. But they could still lose out if other results don't go in their favour.

Delhi, on the other hand, have been pathetic this season. Their batting, that includes captain Kevin Pietersen, failed to click in unison and the bowling is far from impressive.

Daredevils batting is too dependent on him, South African J P Duminy and Dinesh Karthik, as the likes of Murali Vijay, after a decent beginning, Manoj Tiwary, Ross Taylor and Quenton de Kock have really not done what was expected of them.

Mohammed Shami too has been disappointing with the ball and the leading wicket-taker is left-arm slow Shahbaz Nadeem (7 wickets from 9 games), who should relish the extra bounce of the Wankhede track.
