18:41   IPL updates: Can DC break the Mumbai Indians' jinx?

Welcome to the coverage of the IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, in Chennai, on Tuesday. 

Delhi come into the match full of confidence after beating Punjab Kings by six wickets as they chased down a huge 196 for victory at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians have recorded back-to-back victories courtesy of their bowlers by defending a couple of low totals.

DC skipper Rishabh Pant has the ability to take any attack to the cleaners. The DC team management would be hoping that the top-order fires in unison against the defending champions, to whom they had lost in the final last year. 

For Delhi Capitals, the biggest positive has been the form of veteran Shikhar Dhawan, who is the leading scorer so far in the tournament with 186 runs. Dhawan and young Prithvi Shaw form a lethal opening combination, but the young right-hander needs to convert his starts into big scores. 

The Mumbai bowlers, led by pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, have been splendid in the last two games when they successfully defended low scores of 150 and 152 respectively. Strike bowlers Bumrah (3 wickets) and New Zealander Trent Boult (6 wickets) have been exceptional at the death. Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar, whom bowling coach Shane Bond described as a 'wicket-taking bowler', has grabbed seven wickets in the last two games.
