Delhi on the other hand has not won a single game in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 and has 3 draws and 2 losses against Maharashtra and Saurashtra.

Here we are with our analysis of the Mumbai vs Delhi Elite Group B Ranji Trophy Match.
Mumbai vs Delhi Chance of Winning
41 times champions, Mumbai is a tough team to defeat as seen in the recent matches of the tournament. The squad looks full of game-changers such as Prithvi Shaw, Sarfaraz Khan and Ajinkya Rahane. They looked in remarkable form in the previous game and won the match by an inning and 128 runs.
Delhi couldn’t do much in their 5 matches and has zero wins to their name. They will be aiming to account for their first win in the tournament by defeating Mumbai. The squad contains Dhruv Shorey who is the highest run-scorer of the tournament so far and can change the fate of the match with his amazing batting skills.
Ajinkya Rahane-led Mumbai has dominated 3 teams so far in the tournament. They almost won against Tamil Nadu in their last game and will be looking forward to making it to the top of the points table by defeating Delhi.
It can be said that Mumbai is a better side than Delhi given the past records and performances. We are rooting for Mumbai with an 80/20 chance to win the game given the form of Mumbai’s previous match against Assam in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23.
Our Prediction
Mumbai, the runners-up of the previous edition of the Ranji Trophy clearly has an upper hand on Delhi considering their recent performance against Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, Assam and Tamil Nadu. They also have the winning momentum on their side and currently hold the 2nd spot in the Group B points table with 23 points. Moreover, Mumbai has a more experienced and talented player as compared to Delhi. Hence, we are backing Mumbai to win the next fixture.
Our Prediction - Mumbai to win the upcoming outing.

Mumbai vs Delhi Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Mumbai is one of the 2 teams who has always been favourites in the Ranji Trophy to win the title. They have enough internationally experienced batters such as Prithvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane to take on the bowling attack of Delhi and bowlers such as Shams Mulani and Shardul Thakur who can defend the target.
If Mumbai bats first, we expect a score of 300 plus runs. If Delhi bats first, expect somewhere between 270 to 290 runs in the first innings.
Musheer Khan and Prithvi Shaw can cause problems for Delhi on 17th January 2023. They will look to score big runs in the first innings and take a first-innings lead against Delhi.
We are leaning towards Mumbai to win the forthcoming fixture.
Mumbai vs Delhi Match Toss Prediction
The wicket at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi is expected to be a lot wet due to the dew factor in Delhi. The conditions might help bowlers a little bit but both of the teams would want to bat first and put a good first-inning score on the board as seen in the match between Delhi and Andhra Pradesh.
The team winning the toss might choose to bat first on this surface.
Weather Report
The temperature in Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi is going to be around 6-10 degree Celsius. The wind current will offer some support to the bowlers early on in the innings and dew will play a very crucial role at the start of the game on all four days. There are no chances of rain hence we do not expect a loss of overs in the upcoming game.

After assessing the team's form and possible scenarios, the odds in favour of Mumbai to win the game is 1.4, while for Delhi it's 2.94. These betting odds have been calculated based on the team's performance in the previous matches, players’ records, pitch and other factors.
Mumbai vs Delhi Top Team Batsman
Prithvi Shaw was the leading run scorer for Mumbai with 379 runs to his name in the previous game against Assam. He also scored 68 runs in the test match against Saurashtra. He along with Musheer Khan will need to keep the scoreboard going for Mumbai in the upcoming match.
We are backing Dhruv Shorey to continue from where he left off in the previous game and be the top batsman for Delhi yet again. His consistency is incredible and we are backing him to be Delhi’s highest run scorer in the upcoming fixture

Hrithik Shokeen is doing wonders with the ball. He has the skills to turn things around. Hrithik Shokeen is a safe bet for the top bowler in Delhi.
