DC vs MI, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 2

The Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 edition at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, March 27. While DC failed to make the playoffs last season despite topping the league stage, MI failed to reach the IPL playoff matches.

Although the captains of the franchises remain the same, both IPL teams will start on a fresh slate following the IPL mega auction, which has forced them to ring in quite a few changes. Mumbai no longer have the services of the Pandya brothers (Krunal and Hardik) as well as Trent Boult. Delhi, on the other hand, released two of their most prolific performers, Shikhar Dhawan and Kagiso Rabada.

MI will miss the services of Suryakumar Yadav in their opening IPL 2022 encounter as he only joined the squad on Saturday. DC will suffer even more due to missing players. David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Anrich Nortje are unlikely to be available for the first few games.
