We are in the final leg of the Ranji Trophy Elite 2025-26 league games. Mumbai will look to continue with their dominance as they take on Delhi in the 106th game. Mumbai has qualified for the next round after defeating Hyderabad in the last game. Delhi drew their last game against Chandigarh, and the team is out of contention for the next round, irrespective of the results here.
Mumbai has dominated in Group D this season with four wins in six games. They can play freely in this contest as the team has already earned a berth in the knockout stage. They play at home and enjoy a good record. Delhi hasn't won a game this season, and key players have struggled with consistency. It remains to be seen if the team can deliver a surprise to Mumbai.

Siddhesh Lad and his men have been a strong force this season. Even though the team has fielded several young players this season, they have done well. The side defeated Hyderabad by 9 wickets in the last game and has booked a berth in the next round. Lad expects a strong show from his players in the final game.
The team expects a strong start from Akash Anand and Akhil Herwadkar in this game, as Delhi's new-ball attack can pose a challenge. Sarfaraz Khan hit a double hundred in the last game and must build partnerships with Musheer Khan and Siddhesh Lad. Himanshu Singh and Suved Parkar must do well in the lower middle order.
Tushar Deshpande and Himanshu Singh bowled well in the last game, and the pair will look to strike early in this game. Mohit Avasthi and Akash Parkar will look to trouble the batters in the middle phase. The team expects a strong show in the supporting roles from Musheer Khan and Akhil Herwadkar.

Ayush Badoni will be upset with his team's performance this season. They have struggled for consistency, managing only a draw in their last outing against Chandigarh, and this result has sealed their fate. As the team takes the field for the last time this season, Badoni would expect a better show from his players.
Priyansh Arya and Sanat Sangwan must deliver a steady start, as it has been one of the side's problem areas. Ayush Badoni must lead from the front and do well in the middle order with Vaibhav Kandpal and their star batter this season, Ayush Doseja. The team expects runs in the lower middle order from Divij Mehra and Pranav Rajvanshi.
The bowling attack hasn't played to its potential in the last few games. Siddhant Sharma and Divij Mehra must get the early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. Money Grewal and Ayush Badoni will look to bowl tight lines in the middle. The team also needs a good show from Sumit Mathur and Vaibhav Kandpal.

We expect clear skies over Mumbai. The wicket shall be flat, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely. There won't be much on this track for the fast bowlers, and the average first-innings score this season has been more than 400 runs. The side batting first will need 500 runs or more in the first innings to feel comfortable.
Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC, Mumbai, is a small venue. Batsmen can play their strokes freely. The wicket is flat, which makes it tough for fast bowlers as they can't generate much bounce. Spinners will look to do well as they can turn the ball sharply on this track.
In the three games played here this season, the team batting first has won by big margins. The conditions are good here on the first two days, and the wicket deteriorates rapidly in the last two days. The team winning the toss would look to bat first and put up a big score in the 1st innings.
Delhi hasn't got its act together this season. They have struggled at the top with the bat, and the bowling attack hasn't posed a challenge for the opposition. The team needs a strong performance from the top and middle order to win. Mumbai has ticked all the boxes, and the team hasn't lost a game. They play at home and shall start as the favorites in this game.
