"20 of the last 26 games have been won by the team batting second. Sides batting first are tentative and that's the biggest issue. 160 is the average score here and anything over 180-185 you are in the game" say Simon Doull and Pommie Mbangwa in their pitch report.
For Delhi, a win on Thursday would give them a maiden appearance in the IPL final. Mumbai, on the other hand, will be looking to make it to the summit clash on the sixth occasion.
