DC vs MI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI Updates, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For Match 2 – Mar 27th 2022
Preview:
In the first doubleheader on Sunday, the Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the second match of IPL 2022. Some of the key overseas players will be going to miss the inaugural game for Delhi Capitals, but that would not have any impact on the team performances, says coach Ricky Ponting. It will be difficult to pick the perfect combination for their opening game, but it allows both Pant and coach Ricky to try out a few new options. Rovman Powell is going to be the X-factor for them as he brings more firepower in the middle.
Mumbai Indians did not meet the expectations last year as they failed to make it to the playoffs. Playing on their home surface will be an added advantage for them in this edition. There are a lot of fresh new faces in the squad and we will see a different Mumbai Indians side than the last time. Tim David is an excellent buy and he can be a game-changer for them.

Top Picks for DC vs MI Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batters
Rovman Powell has been impressive in the practice sessions and the warm-up matches. Nobody can hit the ball as hard as him in the Delhi unit. Will he meet the expectation in this IPL? We will need to wait and watch.
Tim David made his IPL debut last year for RCB where he didn’t shine with the bat. Incidentally, he has a good amount of experience playing for different franchises around the world. He has amassed 1965 runs in his 89 T20s at an average of 33.87.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Axar Patel is one among the four players retained by Delhi earlier this year. He is very economical with the ball and, mind you, he can score valuable runs down the order as well.
Kieron Pollard has been a regular member of the Mumbai Indians setup since 2010. He knows his strengths well and adapts to the conditions very quickly. He has mustered 3268 runs in his IPL career at an average of 29.98.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Lord Shardul Thakur might go for runs but, at the same time, he is a bowler who has a knack for taking wickets when he comes on to bowl for whichever team he plays for. He scalped 21 wickets in the 16 matches last year at an economy of 8.8.
Jasprit Bumrah is a deadly weapon for Mumbai Indians with the ball. He was the leading wicket-taker for for them last year with 21 wickets in 14 matches.
Top Picks – Wicketkeepers
Ishan Kishan was bought by Mumbai Indians for a whopping sum of INR 15.25 crores in this year’s auction. The pocket-sized dynamo can hit the ball a long distance, and is a must-pick for your fantasy teams.
