Match 8 of the 2026 Indian Premier League will see the Delhi Capitals taking on the Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. DC and MI are third and fourth in the league standings, respectively, after two games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Delhi Capitals kicked off their 2026 IPL campaign with a commanding victory over the Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets and with 17 balls to spare on the road on Wednesday.
The win was built on an excellent bowling performance by DC, with Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan taking three wickets apiece before a stunning 70* off 47 balls by Sameer Rizvi during their chase.
This will be the Capitals’ first home game this season. However, they lost home and away to this opponent last season and have only won one of their last six against the Mumbai franchise.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians pulled off an incredible result in their opening match of this season, chasing down 220 runs in 19.1 overs to beat the Knight Riders by six wickets last week.
MI’s opening pair of Ryan Rickelton and veteran Rohit Sharma put on an incredible 148-run first-wicket stand in just 71 deliveries. Shardul Thakur was the pick of the bowlers with 3/39.
Rickelton and Sharma are first and third in the Orange Cap standings after the first round of matches, while DC’s Rizvi is in fifth place.

Our Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals Prediction
While the Delhi Capitals made a very impressive start to their IPL campaign, you could argue that LSG were way below their best in that match, meaning this will provide a clearer indication of DC’s form this year.
The Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, pulled off the biggest run chase across the first round of matches this season. They have won five of their last six against this opponent, and we fancy them to add to that winning record in this one. Our Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians prediction is Mumbai Indians wins.
