IPL 15 Match 2: Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians

Match 2 of the Indian Premier League 2022 shall see two of the most consistent sides in the last 3 years taking on each other.

While Mumbai Indians have been two times champions during the period, Delhi Capitals have managed to make it to the Playoffs on all three occasions.

With these two sides clashing at Brabourne stadium, it calls for a mouth-watering contest.

Mumbai Indians’ overall squad looks below-par as compared to Delhi Capitals.

However, we all know Mumbai’s DNA, and how they can make superstars out of young potential players. Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, would see Rishabh Pant as their full-time Captain starting year.

He is the youngest captain this year in IPL aging, just 24 years.

Having said that, both sides are affected by player availability issues.

For Mumbai Indians, they would be without their key middle-order player, Suryakumar Yadav, and Delhi Capitals would be without five of their key overseas players

Mumbai Indians led by Rohit Sharma in the tournament while Rishabh Pant is the skipper of Delhi Capitals.

Both the players also led the sides in the last season. During last season, Delhi Capitals defeated Mumbai Indians in both two encounters.

DC vs MI Tata IPL 2022 Match 2 Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium generally assists both bowlers and batsmen, with the dew factor coming to play deep in the match. The short boundaries and a quick outfield are expected to thrill the batsmen right from the word go.

Look who has arrived at the Brabourne Stadium

Hello People. This should be a high scoring game.

A few interesting statistics ---

Axar Patel needs five more wickets to reach 100-wicket mark in the IPL

Fast bowlers have picked up more than 75% of the wickets at this venue - Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium - in the IPL

The last time Mumbai Indians won their opening game of any IPL season was in 2012

Being a day game, dew would not be a factor today.

Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav, back in the mix after being out in the cold for a while, joins Axar, and their overs could make a difference. South African pacer Anrich Nortje is expected to lead the DC pace attack and be the team's go-to man in the death overs, along with Mustafizur Rahman. The team management, led by head coach Ricky Ponting, can also go in for young pacer Kamlesh Nagarkoti, who has had a decent record in the tournament.
