Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will be fighting it out against each other in the 63rd match of the ongoing IPL 2025. The MI vs DC match is scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday (May 21).
With three teams already qualifying for the playoffs and five teams eliminated, MI and DC are fighting for the last remaining playoffs spot. At the moment, MI have the advantage and a win over DC will secure their passage to the next round.
MI are currently at the fourth spot in the points table with 14 points from 12 games. On the other hand, DC are at the fifth spot with 13 points from 12 games. A win for MI will take their points tally to 16 and will confirm their passage to the playoffs.
As far as DC are concerned, a win over MI will not secure a playoffs spot for them but it will put them in the driver's seat. After a win over MI, DC can qualify for the playoffs if they win their last game and won't have to depend on other results.
Even if DC fail to win their last game, they can qualify if MI also lose their last league game. With so much at stake, both the teams will be desperate to win the upcoming game.
