Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Live Cricket ScoreIPL 2022 DC vs MI Live Cricket Score: Mumbai Indians’ five titles to Delhi Capitals’ none will matter little when the heavyweights, equipped with multiple match-winners, lock horns in a clash of titans in a new IPL in Mumbai on Sunday. Mumbai have retained their core in skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, and the role of these four would be crucial against DC at the Cricket Club of India.
Mumbai Indians XI: Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Tilak Varma, Anmolpreet Singh, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin, Tymal Mills, Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi
Delhi Capitals Playing XI: Prithvi Shaw, Tim Seifert, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav, Kamlesh Nagarkoti
Tim David hits a monstrous six off Thakur. Tim smashes a short delivery from Thakur in the stands. Mumbai Indians are playing attacking cricket here. MI 148/4 after 18 overs.
Ishan Kishan gets his half-century. what an innings he is playing. He clears it nicely against Axar Patel and deposits it in the stand. This is some serious hitting from Kishan as he hits another boundary. 136/4 after 16.5 overs.
Kuldeep takes a crucial one. He gets a wicket of Pollard. Pollard looks to clear the mid-wicket but Seifert grabs the ball. MI 122/4 after 15.5 overs.
Massive cheer for Kieron Pollard as he walks in to bat. The announcer surprisingly made a low-key proclamation of Pollard's name by his ear-shattering standards of this afternoon but the crowd didn't need any goading. Pollard, Pollard they scream as he gets into his stance.
Khaleel takes a wicket of Tilak Verma. Tilak looks to hit it over the third man but Shaw takes an easy one. He goes back after scoring 22 runs. MI 117/3 after 14.2 overs.
Ishan Kishan hits a terrific shot over long-on. He times it well against Lalit Yadav and gets a boundary. MI 113/2 after 14 overs.
The usually-restrained Kuldeep Yadav let out a ripping roar after he dismissed Rohit Sharma. The ball was far from spectacular—unlike the many gems he has produced (Babar Azam in World Cup for one). The ball was on the shorter side, one Sharma would usually ferry to the roof of the Brabourne Stadium. But it came slower, as if dulled by the pitch, did not turn as much as Sharma had judged and seemed to stop at him a bit, denying Sharma off any power. Then, it’s not about how Sharma missed (rarely ever) a pull shot, but how Yadav celebrated and what the wicket might have meant for him. He stood in the scream-roar pose for a few seconds, before he began punching and swiping the air and was soon swarmed by his teammates. Not just that he had provided his team an early breakthrough, but was a release of all the angst that had piled up in him in the last 15 months. From India’s No 1 bowler in overseas Test matches, he had slipped into anonymity, an afterthought for his ex-franchisee KKR and the second-choice for his domestic side (Uttar Pradesh). His control had gone off-kilter, his variations had dwindled, his morale seemed puncture. But the redeeming moment perhaps came when he nabbed Sharma’s wicket. The one confidence-shot he might have been desperately searching for. And he let the world know how it meant to him.

After their very first power play of the IPL 15, Delhi Capitals might be having second thoughts about their auction pickings. Mumbai Indians were 53/0 in 6 overs and their openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan were barely beaten by the DC bowlers. The track was flat, there was nothing for pacers but still the DC decision-makers might be revisiting their pre-season selection decision. They had spent close to Rs 17 crore to sign up Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed and Kamlesh Nagarkoti and the first power-play return of investment wasn't great. For about a crore less, MI had snapped up Ishan Kishan and the young opener hadn't disappointed them.

Debutant Tilak Verma pulls off Nagarkoti and gets a boundary. He hits another one over mid-off. What a game for him. MI 104/2 after 13 overs.
Was it Kamlesh Nagarkoti chasing the ball, or the ball chasing the young fast bowler? In the first three overs, he was in the television frame almost every single frame, hurling and flinging his body around. He stopped a brace of boundaries too—one inside the ring and another near the midwicket ropes when he ran nearly 15 yards, slid onto the grass and snatched the ball from underneath the feet of a rushing Tymal Mills. A pleased captain Rishabh Pant shrieked: Bahut acha, bahut acha (very good, very good)…” So impressed that he decided to give him a go with the ball. Nagarkoti galloped in, marked his run-up and seemed restlessly energetic. His enthusiasm was soon to fade through. Rohit Sharma cut his first ball, a short-of-length loosener for a four, the third was swivel-pulled for a four over fine leg, the fourth was so wide that Pant had to stretch his body, and Ishan Kishan shellacked the last ball behind point. Nagarkoti stood dejected in his follow-through, seemingly sapped off all his energy and had to be dragged back to the outpost in the deep. The ball, though, kept following him, though he greeted those with considerably less enthusiasm.

Kuldeep gets a wicket of Anmolpreet as he looks to clear the park but Lalit Yadav takes a good catch at the boundary. Two quick wickets for Delhi. MI 84/2after 10.4 overs.
Rohit Sharma departs after scoring 41 runs in just 32 balls. He tries to hit it over the mid-wicket off Kuldeep, but Powell takes a good catch. MI 64/1 after 8.2 overs.
As if the CCI boundaries weren't already short, the rope has been pulled in at least 20 feet around cow corner at the Churchgate (northern) side. The makeshift media facility is also at cow corner, which is perhaps apt for the format, but not for viewing.
Rohit and Ishan are playing fearless cricket, they are dealing in fours and sixes. Pant will have to stop them. Poor cricket from Delhi bowlers. MI 53/0 after 6 overs.
Rohit is on fire as he keeps putting pressure on young Nagarkoti. A couple of top shots by the skipper Rohit Sharma. This is attacking batting by the Mumbai batters. Ishan ends the over with a cracking boundary. MI 48/0 after 5 overs.
Axar Patel gets a ball now. Not known for turning much, but he can shut the flow of runs by bowling tight. Good captaincy by Rishabh Pant. Ishan Kishan is on fire as he hits it straight to Axar. MI 32/0 after 4 overs.
After conceding 10 runs in the first over, Shardul is now bowling tight against Ishan Kishan. Both the Mumbai batters are rotating the strike. What a solid six for Ishan. He finishes this over with a solid uppercut. MI 25/0 after 3 overs.
Ishan Kishan gets his first boundary against Khaleel. Both Rohit and Ishan start well for Mumbai. They are scoring at a good run rate. MI 16/0 after 2 overs.
Shardul Thakur starts the proceeding. Rohit and Ishan are on the crease for Mumbai Indians. Rohit gets a first boundary as he glances off the thigh pad. Rohit ends the over with a cracking six over the covers. That's a very good over for Mumbai. MI 10/0 after 1 over.
Debut for Tilak Varma, Tim David, Tymal Mills, Riley Meredith, M Ashwin .
