Mumbai Indians are currently fourth on the table with seven wins and 14 points from 12 games. With three teams - Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and Punjab Kings (PBKS) - already qualified for the playoffs, MI are now under some pressure with just one spot left.

Delhi are placed fifth with 13 points and two games remaining. Therefore, their clash against each other could be the deciding factor as to which team will have a better chance of grabbing the final spot in the top four.
