MI vs DC Match Preview
Delhi Capitals will face the 5-time champion side Mumbai Indians in the 69th game of IPL 2022. Mumbai Indians will be hoping to end their forgettable IPL 2022 campaign on a high.
Mumbai Indians struggled a lot this season and it was a very poor performance from them. They failed to assemble a balanced playing 11 throughout the competition. Mumbai also looked very confused to pick up the best possible four overseas players into their lineup as the hard-hitting all-rounder Tim David was given few chances to showcase his talent.
The bowling department is mostly relying on Jasprit Bumrah who is carrying all the burden of Mumbai’s bowling this season without getting enough support from the other end. Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav are the top batters for Mumbai while Dewald Brevis also scored a few brilliant knocks for the side.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals had a much better campaign and they will also be looking to win their last league match. The all-rounders have been the strength of the Delhi Capitals throughout this season. Rishabh Pant, David Warner, and Prithvi Shaw are the key batters for them while Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, Mushfiqur Rehman, and Chetan Sakariya are their front line bowlers.
