MI vs DC: Match Preview
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians are led by Rohit Sharma in IPL 2022. The team has played 13 games so far, managing to win only 3. Mumbai is already out of the playoffs. They will play their last match of the tournament against the Delhi Capitals. Tilak Varma is the leading run-scorer for the team with 376 runs in 13 games. Ishan Kishan scored 370 runs in 13 games. In bowling, Daniel Sams and Jasprit Bumrah have picked the most number of wickets for the team.
Delhi Capitals

MI vs DC: Match Prediction
Mumbai Indians have nothing to lose as they are already knocked out of the race for the playoffs. They played some good cricket in the last few games but overall this season for them was a pathetic one. On the other hand, it’s an important game for the Delhi Capitals who still have a chance to make it to the playoffs. They won the previous match against Punjab Kings and if they beat MI in this game, they will have a better run-rate than RCB. It’s predicted that DC will win the match.
