Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians will open their victory account as they are poised to take on Delhi Daredevils at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, according to InUth’s Facebook poll prediction.

Defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Daredevils (DD), both without any wins in the tournament so far. Hosts Mumbai lost to Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad by identical one-wicket margins in close encounters while Gautam Gambhir-led Delhi finished second best to Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals in their first two outings.

We ran a poll on our Facebook page to know which team is more favoured to win the match. According to fans, there is a tough competition between the two teams, but most seem to think MI have an edge over Delhi in today’s battle.
