Five-time winner Mumbai Indians will face Delhi Capitals in IPL-2023. Delhi will play this match at its home Arun Jaitley Stadium. Mumbai has lifted the IPL trophy five times but Delhi has not been able to win the title even once. Although Delhi played the final in 2020 but was defeated by Mumbai itself. But that season there was a match between these two teams in which Mumbai was accused of match-fixing.
This season the condition of both these teams is still bad. The account of the victory of both teams has not been opened yet. Delhi has already scored a hat-trick of defeats and if Mumbai loses today, it will also suffer a hat-trick of defeats. However, one thing is clear from this match one team will get its first win of this season.
What happened in 2020
In the year 2020, IPL was overshadowed by Kovid. For this reason, this league was played in UAE in October-November. This season, on October 11, the match between Delhi and Mumbai took place in the 27th match. Mumbai had made a tweet regarding this match, after which many people on social media made allegations of match-fixing. Delhi batted first in this match. The second over of the match was being bowled and then Mumbai made a tweet. In this tweet, Mumbai reported Delhi's score as 163/5 in 19.5 overs.
The doubt was about how Mumbai said this in the very second over. And this doubt was further increased when Delhi's score was also very close to it. Batting first in this match, Delhi scored 162 runs losing four wickets. However, Mumbai won the match in its name. He achieved this target by losing five wickets in the first two balls.
Fans surrounded Mumbai
This could also be just a coincidence. However, Mumbai later deleted this tweet as well. This made the matter worse. But the fans took screenshots of it. And then many kinds of allegations were made regarding Mumbai. However, Mumbai did not give any official information regarding this.
