The second of Sunday’s matches in IPL 2019 sees Mumbai Indians clash with the Delhi Capitals and both these sides will be targeting far better starts than they made last season.
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai paid the price for a slow start in 2018. They won just 1 of their first 6 matches and although there was a revival in the second half the tournament, their overall record of 6 wins and 8 defeats saw them come up shy of what was needed for a play off spot. They retain many of their stalwarts for this campaign and a strong local contingent includes skipper Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, a sensational bowler in this format of the game.
In the outright betting markets the Mumbai have been trading at around 5/1 to win the tournament.
Squad: Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma (c), Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Ben Cutting, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah, Mayank Markande, Adam Milne, Jason Behrendorff, Yuvraj Singh, Anmolpreet Singh, Aditya Tare, Siddhesh Lad, Evin Lewis, Pankaj Jaiswal, Anukul Roy, Kieron Pollard, Rahul Chahar, Lasith Malinga, Barinder Sran, Rasikh Salam, Jayant Yadav.
Delhi Capitals
What was the Daredevils is now the Capitals and Delhi have recruited Shikhar Dhawan as a key part of their plans to improve on last season’s showing. Like Mumbai they won just 1 of their first 6 matches and they ended with a record of 5 wins and 9 defeats in collecting the wooden spoon.
In the outright betting markets Delhi have been trading at around 7/1 to win the tournament.
Squad: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Colin Ingram, Rishabh Pant, Chris Morris, Axar Patel, Sandeep Lamichhane, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Tewatia, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult, Ankush Bains, Hanuma Vihari, Colin Munro, Jalaj Saxena, Keemo Paul, Sherfane Rutherford, Harshal Patel, Manjot Kalra, Jayant Yadav, Bandaru Ayappa, Nathu Singh, Avesh Khan
