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.

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

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.
