11:45 PM IST: That brings us the end of our coverage from this all important clash and the Mumbai Indians have made it to the playoffs and we already have the four qualified teams with seven league games still to go. The only question is who will finish in the top two. Unless anything dramatic happens, GT and RCB are the expected teams to play the first Qualifier while MI and PBKS might square off in the eliminator clash. The IPL carnival continues while England will also host Zimbabwe for a four day Test starting tomorrow. Do join us for the matches and many more on Sportskeeda but for now, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator Darpan Tikiya. Goodnight!
Suryakumar Yadav (Player of the Match): I think it's been 13 games now. My wife told me a sweet story that you have got all awards expect the Man of the Match so this is for her. We celebrate it when we go back. I think it was really important for a single batter to stay till the end as we knew that 15-20 run over was around the corner. The way Naman came and shared the energy managed to rub it on me. Good four five days coming up.
Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians captain): Yeah absolutely. I can throw them the ball any time of the match (speaking on Bumrah and Santner). They bring so much control. I thought initially 180 would be good, we felt at one stage 160 would have been great.but the way Surya and Naman batted towards the end, especially Naman’s knock was great to see (interview was interrupted due to rain).

Time for the post match presentation ceremony with Harsha Bhogle.
It was a thoroughly clinical performance with the ball from the Mumbai Indians as they romped by 59 runs to make it through to the playoffs. The target of 181 was always going to be a tall order for DC as even Suryakumar Yadav felt that they were atleast 15 runs ahead of a par score. The Capitals needed a good start and the openers KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis needed to provide them the momentum in the powerplay.
However the Capitals lost their way in the first few overs with both Faf and KL Rahul getting dismissed in the first three overs. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult brought about the big dismissals. It was Will Jacks who then deceived Abishek Porel with a beauty of a delivery but Vipraj Nigam and Sameer Rizvi tried to counter attack but couldn't quite make the contributions they were looking for. Vipraj ended up chipping a Mitchell Santner delivery back to the bowler.
Tristan Stubbs was then trapped in front of the stumps with an immaculate slower delivery by Jasprit Bumrah and there was no looking back from there. Ashutosh Sharma and Sameer Rizvi got going and shared a good partnership but once Rizvi was castled by Santner it was all but over for DC. Ashutosh was the next to go as the guile of Mitchell Santner came into play yet again. Jasprit Bumrah finally finally the match with an inch perfect yorker to take MI to the playoffs.
Mitchell Santner (Mumbai Indians): "It was nice. Slightly slower wicket. The more overspin you bowl, the more you get out of it. I was looking to bowl stump to stump. I think as a bowling unit we were pretty good. But SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) set it up. His knock took us to 180. Tonight we adapted quite quickly. We learnt from the Delhi boys. Cutters into the wickets were working. There is probably more pressure to take wickets (on a pitch like this) but I stuck to what I normally do."
11:24 PM IST: MI players parade around the park thanking the fans in the stands. They hold a big banner that says "Thank you Mumbai"
Faf du Plessis (Delhi Capitals captain): "Thought we were excellent on the field. Not the easiest pitch to bat on. But I thought we bowled excellent. At least for the first 17-18 overs. Those last two overs hurt us. Momentum is a real thing. With some players missing, it was a case of David and Goliath. I enjoy that kind of contest. We needed a good start with the bat. Pretty much sums up our season. Rizvi did well. We missed Axar on a wicket like this. You saw how Santner bowled. On a wicket like that, Axar would have loved to bowled. I am a big believer that you never take momentum for granted. We could feel that in the last couple of games there was a fire to try and get that momentum back. Shows that when you are on the top of that wave, you have to ride it."
11:15 PM IST: The Mumbai Indians are through to the playoffs and becomes the fourth and the final team to go through the final four. They were ruthless in the bowling department. It was always going to be a tall order for DC chasing 180 on a surface which was gripping and turning. Santner and Bumrah again showing their class as the win margin clearly shows the way MI dominated the game. They will now look to sneak through to the top two but that's not in their hands.
Mustafizur Rahman has been dismissed for 0 runs off 1 balls
18.2 Jasprit Bumrah to Mustafizur Rahman, BOWLED! Mumbai Indians win by 59 runs and barge into the playoffs of IPL 2025! Rhapsodic celebrations unfold in the stands. But on the park, the players radiate composure and quiet confidence. Almost as if this is run of the mill stuff for them. Bumrah switched around the wicket for this ball and landed a near perfect yorker that was too good for DC's number 11. The Capitals' run have once again been stalled by Mumbai Indians. Not for the first time. Glum faces on the faces of the players in that corner tell you all that you need to know.
18.1 Jasprit Bumrah to Dushmantha Chameera, fuller side of good length, pace-off, delivered from over the wicket. Chameera chips it towards long-on to get one.
End of another successful over and this time Kuldeep Yadav departs on the final delivery of the over. The match has almost been sealed by the five time champions.
