IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's MI vs DC match

Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 63 of IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, May 21. The MI vs DC clash will be crucial in context of qualification for the playoffs as Mumbai and Delhi are the only two teams in contention for the one available spot in the top four. Mumbai have 14 points from 12 games and DC 13 from 12 matches.

If MI beat DC on Wednesday, they will join Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2025 playoffs. In such a scenario, MI will move up to 16 points, while DC will finish on 15 points even if they beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last league match.

On the other hand, if Delhi win both their matches, they will be confirmed of a playoffs berth. Two wins will take DC to 17 points, while MI can finish with a maximum of 16 points even if they beat PBKS in their last league game. Another scenario could also be at play since rain could play spoilsport. In case of a no result on Wednesday, the teams will split points.

Fans would be hoping for a full game at the Wankhede. Ahead of the crucial IPL 2025 contest, we take a look at some milestones that can be achieved by players from both sides.
