Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and predicted XIs

Delhi Capitals will be looking to book their spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 playoffs while Mumbai Indians aim to finish the competition with a win as the two sides face each other on Saturday.

Head-to-head

The encounter between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals has been an extremely close affair with the five-time champions enjoying a narrow 16-15 advantage in the 31 matches against DC.

Stats

There will be interesting player battles on both ends as the duo of Khaleel Ahmed and Axar Patel have troubled Rohit Sharma in the past as they have dismissed him three times and have not conceded more than run-a-ball. On the other end, Jasprit Bumrah will be looking forward to facing Rishabh Pant – a batsman he has dismissed six times with just 47 runs conceded in 42 deliveries.

Trivia

It has been a contrasting story for both side when it comes to opening partnerships as the pair of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma have the second-best record in the tournament while DC’s opening pairs have produced just 21 runs in the last five matches for the first wicket. However, there is some good news as David Warner enjoys facing MI and with six fifties and a strike rate of 138.87 against the five-time champions, the Australia batsman will be a key asset for DC in their playoff race.
