DC vs MI Today Match Prediction
Delhi Capitals will take on Mumbai Indians in the 2nd Match of IPL 2022. Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai will host this fixture on March 27 at 3:30 pm. Mumbai will be eyeing their 6th IPL title and the Delhi Capitals will be hoping to land their maiden title after being a part of the IPL 2020 final and knockouts in IPL 2021.
Last year in 2021, DC walked away with two comfortable wins over the five-time champions. They defeated Mumbai first in the India leg at Chennai by 6 wickets and repeated the same feat in the Dubai leg at Sharjah by 4 wickets. This year is going to be a different ball game with some major changes in both the squads.
Delhi retained Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, Prithvi Shaw, and Anrich Nortje ahead of the auction. They have added more firepower in form of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh, Kuldeep Yadav, and Shardul Thakur. However, no Australian player will be available for the Delhi Capitals at least till April 6 due to the ongoing series against Pakistan. Rovman Powell and Tim Seifert are the only overseas players available against Mumbai Indians. Talking about the bowlers, Delhi Capitals have options of Shardul Thakur, Chetan Sakariya, Kuldeep Yadav, Lalit Yadav, and Khaleel Ahmed to choose from.
Coming to Mumbai, Rohit Sharma is set to captain the 5-time title winners again and will open the batting alongside Ishan Kishan. Hyderabad batter Tilak Verma is the favorite to take the No. 3 position in the absence of Suryakumar Yadav. They will be relying on proven power hitters like Tim David & Kieron Pollard to finish matches for them. Their bowling options would be Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Mayank Markande, Jaydev Undkat, and Sanjay Yadav.
