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. This will be an extremely crucial clash considering that MI and DC are the only two sides in contention to grab the last available playoff spot. Having said that, rain could play spoilsport in the match as the weather forecast is not too bright.
Mumbai are currently fourth in the points table, with 14 points from 12 matches. Delhi are in fifth position, with 13 points to their name from 12 games. A win on Wednesday will take MI to 16 points and confirm their slot in the playoffs, thus knocking Delhi out of the competition.
For DC, they need to win both their remaining matches to be assured of a top four finish. In case, they beat Mumbai but go down to Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last league game, they will then need MI to also lose their last match to PBKS. In such a scenario, Delhi can qualify with 15 points to their name. DC, however, have not won a match since April 22. As such, MI will begin clear favorites.
