Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals: IPL 2022 standings
Mumbai Indians endured a forgettable campaign in IPL 2022 and are languishing at the bottom of the points table. The five-time champions have won just three of their 13 matches, totalling six points.
While MI are already out of playoffs contention, Delhi Capitals still have a chance to go through.
The Rishabh Pant-led Delhi side is fifth on the points table with seven wins in 13 games, amassing 14 points. But a superior net run rate can help the team catapult Bangalore to the fourth and final qualifying spot, if they manage to beat Mumbai Indians.

Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals top picks
MI: Barring Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav, the famed Mumbai batting line-up has flopped this season. Now with Sky out of action with an injury, the onus will fall on Tilak Verma to get runs on the board. He has amassed 376 runs at an average 37.6.
With the ball, Jasprit Bumrah will be a dependable pick, considering how he has come back to form in the last three matches. Daniel Sams is also a decent choice in the bowling department.
DC: David Warner has been the wrecker-in-chief for Delhi Capitals this season, amassing 427 runs at a stellar average of 53.37. He stands fifth in the Orange Cap race.
DC’s best bowler this season has been Kuldeep Yadav. The Chinaman has struck 20 times in IPL 2022 and will be key to Delhi’s fortunes in the do-or-die fixture.
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals prediction
Delhi Capitals have finally got some momentum going their way after a wobbly performance throughout the season. Expect them to come out all guns blazing in this virtual eliminator.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, will hope to end the season on a positive note and get back to the drawing board to figure out what went wrong.
Considering the form of both teams, Delhi Capitals should take full points and make their way to the play-offs.
