The weather caught everyone by surprise in the Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians IPL 2022 match. As soon as Rishabh Pant came out for the toss, the rain started pouring down. The Covers were quickly placed by the Wankhede Stadium’s staff to ensure that the pitch does not get affected.
The weather update of Mumbai does not look threatening for the game though. There will be a cloud cover throughout the match, but the chances of rain are quite bleak. Ahead of the match, the rain stopped as well and the super shoppers were at the work.
It’s started to rain in Mumbai just after the toss. And no, Arjun Tendulkar isn’t playing in the XI. Saw him measuring his run up and thought he was going to play. Alas…#MIvsDC

This match is very important for the playoffs qualification scenarios. If Delhi will win this match, they will qualify, or else Royal Challengers Bangalore. In case of rain, Delhi Capitals will get just one point, and they will be knocked out of the tournament. So, the Royal Challengers Bangalore will hope for rain in this game.
Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals have sealed their top-2 places, whereas either of Delhi or Bangalore will face Lucknow in the eliminator game.
