4.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Nagarkoti is just looking to bowl fast and isn't concentrating on line and length. Short and wide, over 143 clicks and Kishan thumps it over point for another boundary. 16 off the over and Mumbai off to a flier here.

4.4 overs (0 Run) Much better from Nagarkoti. Hitting the top of off and Rohit watchfully keeps it out.
4.4 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Nagarkoti goes wide of the off stump now and flirts with the tramline. A wide is signalled.

0.1 over (0 Run) A bit of away movement straightaway for Shardul Thakur. Starts off with a fullish delivery, around off. Rohit Sharma pushes it out towards extra cover.
All in readiness for the action. Delhi players are out in the middle. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are the openers for Mumbai. Shardul Thakur to start with the ball. Here we go...
Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says they would've bowled first as well. Adds it is the first match so they don't know what to expect. Tells it looks good to bat on and there will be a bit of movement. Informs that the wickets are fresh in Mumbai and he is happy to come back here and play. Mentions that there are some restrictions in terms of capacity, but it is nice to see crowds.
Rishabh Pant, the captain of Delhi, says they will bowl first. He adds that they are very excited and they wanted to win the toss. He then gives an update on the playing XI and tries to remember all the names. Mentions that the wicket looks good to bat and they have played a few domestic matches on this pitch, so it will be good.
Mumbai (Playing XI) - Ishan Kishan (WK), Rohit Sharma (C), Tilak Varma, Anmolpreet Singh, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin, Tymal Mills, Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi.
Delhi (Playing XI) - Prithvi Shaw, Tim Seifert, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant (C/WK), Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav, Kamlesh Nagarkoti.
TOSS - Delhi have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first!
PITCH REPORT - Danny Morrison is pitchside. He says that there's a 66-meter boundary to one side of the boundary and the batters will be targeting that and the breeze will help a bit as well. Haydos joins him and says that there's a fair bit of grass on the surface and there will be seam on offer. He adds that there's not going to be many runs and the dew won't play a role either.
Mumbai are undoubtedly one of the two biggest names alongside Chennai in the competition and they had an abysmal season by their standards last time around. The Rohit Sharma-led side has kept its core to an extent but it's a fairly new-look unit overall and hence it will be difficult to work out the best combination early on. All eyes will be on Ishan Kishan on whom Mumbai splashed out a lot of money and baby AB, Dewald Brevis as well. So, will Mumbai be able to take advantage of a depleted overseas lineup for Delhi? Or will Rishabh Pant rally his troops to an opening match win? We'll find out soon. Toss and team news in a bit.
Delhi have strengthened their batting department by bringing in the likes of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Rovman Powell but only Powell is available for their tournament opener. This could be a big blow but the likes of Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw and even young star on the rise Yash Dhull will look to make up for it. Delhi have been knocking on the doors for the past three seasons but haven't managed to get their hands on the trophy. They will be looking to go the distance this time and maybe finally clinch their first title but it's a long way to go.
Hello and a warm welcome to the first Super Sunday of the 2022 edition of the Indian T20 League. In match number 2 of the tournament, Delhi will take on five-time champions Mumbai in what is also the first match of a doubleheader on Sunday. Delhi had Mumbai's number in last year's tournament but over the years it's been an even contest between the two big cities of India and it sure will be a tasty clash.
