🏏IPL 2022 Match 69: Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals🏏

Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will be featuring in the 69th match today at the Wankhede Stadium. This will be the last group stage game for both teams.

MI is already out of the playoffs race and will have nothing to lose.

They are placed at the last position in the points' table with 3 wins in 13 matches. If they win this game, Royal Challengers Bangalore will qualify for the playoffs and be playing the eliminator match against LSG.

Delhi Capitals have won 7 out of 13 matches and are placed in the fifth position in the points table.

It will be their second game of the season against MI.

DC won the first match by 4 wickets after chasing a target of 178 runs in 18.2 overs.

DC have also won their last 2 matches and would be expecting a similar result out of this match.

Jasprit Bumrah has been successful in keeping Rishabh Pant in check, conceding only 47 runs in 42 balls and dismissing the southpaw six times in the process.

The DC captain, who is going through an indifferent form would do well to see off the challenge from the in-form pacer.

Rohit Sharma has struggled against Khaleel Ahmed and Axar Patel, both of whom have combined to dismiss him only thrice in 75 balls but conceded at less than run-a-ball.

MI vs DC, Match 69 Probable Playing XIs:

Mumbai Indians

Ishan Kishan (w), Rohit Sharma (c), Daniel Sams, Tilak Varma, Ramandeep Singh, Tristan Stubbs, Tim David, Sanjay Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith, Mayank Markande.

Delhi Capitals

David Warner, Prithvi Shaw/Sarfaraz Khan, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed.

The pitch is expected to have a lot to offer to the batters and a high-scoring game might be around the corner.

Spinners are likely to play a key role during the middle-overs and would be responsible for stopping the run-flow.

Even as dew hasn't played a big part in the last few games at the Wankhede Stadium, chasing teams have won three of the last four matches at the venue.

71 percent humidity is expected with the weather.

Head to head:Mumbai Indians 16 - Delhi Capitals 15
