Iyer makes his intentions clear
Rasikh Salam bowls short and wide and DC skipper Shreyas Iyer hits the ball on the up for a boundary towards extra covers. Iyer ended the recently-concluded Syed Mushtaq T20 tournament as the second highest run-getter and he will look to produce similar performances in the cash-rich league.

Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Colin Ingram, Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Trent Boult, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma
19:24 hrs ISTPratik: MI’s predicted XI
Here is my predicted XI for this clash - Rohit Sharma, Quinton De Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Yuvraj Singh, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Ben Cutting, Krunal Pandya, Mayank Markande, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah
19:20 hrs ISTRohan: DC’s impressive pace battery
Delhi Capitals have managed to put together a stunning pace attack and they will certainly cause problems this time around. Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult and Chris Morris will be the heartbeat of their bowling and the likes of Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan and Nathu Singh are capable of providing able support to them.
19:15 hrs ISTPratik: MI’s world class all-rounders
The reason why Mumbai have done so well in recent times is because they have managed to retain the core of their squad. Pandya brothers, Pollard and Cutting will be joined by Yuvraj this time around and these all-rounders have the capability of inflicting severe damage on the opposition.
19:10 hrs ISTRohan: Young but bold skipper
Shreyas Iyer might be just 24 year old but he no rookie. Iyer has been playing for a long time now and also has experience on his side. In the recently-concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy 2019, he ended as the second highest run-scorer with 484 runs, inclusive of two tons - 147 and 103*. He will now look to bring that form into IPL and lead from the front.
19:00 hrs ISTPratik: Captain Marvel
Let’s begin with Rohit Sharma, who has led MI to three glorious IPL titles. He is the third highest-scorer in the history of the league and will look to add to his tally this season. He is also the fourth most successful captain in the history of IPL. He has won 51 out of 89 matches in the tournament and is only behind MS Dhoni (59.12%), Sachin Tendulkar (58.82%) and Anil Kumble (57.69%).
18:51 hrs ISTRohan: ‘Roar Machaa’
Delhi Capital are also ready to roar this season. DC are filled with youngsters who are out to prove a point to the best in business. Everything is new expect for the return of a certain ‘Gabbar’ who could act as a catalyst and fire the side to glory.
18:41 hrs ISTPratik: Where do I start?
Three time champions. One of the most consistent teams in the history. Big ticket-players and an iconic stadium. Mumbai Indians are well equipped to shake off their last season blues and take the tournament by storm this time around. Not to forget the skipper who will want to make amends after a rather uncharacteristic tournament last season.
18:30 hrs ISTHello and welcome
A very warm welcome for the second IPL match of the day between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. My name is Pratik Sagar, cricket correspondent at Hindustan Times and I will try to present the case why I think MI will go onto win this match at the Wankhede Stadium. My fellow cricket correspondent Rohan Pathak will put forward his case for the rechristened Delhi Capitals side and why he feels they will start the tournament with a bang.
