Team News
Mumbai: The five-time Indian T20 League champions began their journey for the 15th edition on the wrong note. The middle order of the team lacked resilience and the bowlers of the team leaked runs at the most crucial phases of the match.

Key Players:
Ishan Kishan: The most expensive buy of the mega auction of the Indian T20 League 2022 hit a great from in the very first match. He scored 81 runs off 48 deliveries in the match against Delhi. Mumbai will hope that he continues his good form and gives them one more good start in the next match.
Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav will be returning for Mumbai in the next match. Fans will be hoping that he brings the resilience in the batting order that they missed in the first match.
