Mumbai Indians are ready to face Delhi Capitals in a must-win game at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, May 21.
This is match number 63 of the IPL 2025 season and both teams are under pressure to grab two points. A win here could bring one team closer to the playoffs, while a loss might push the other out of the race completely.
The previous match between these two sides was an exciting one. Mumbai had stunned Delhi in their own backyard with a thrilling 12-run win, thanks to three run-outs in three balls. That result gave MI their first victory of the season and end DC’s unbeaten run.

Weather forecast in Mumbai: What happens if MI vs DC is stopped by rain?
If rain interrupts play and the match gets abandoned, both Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will receive one point each. That would take MI to 15 points and DC to 14, but neither team will be able to confirm their spot in the top four just yet.
The playoff race will then move to the final round of league matches, where both teams are scheduled to face Punjab Kings. The results of those matches will decide who makes it through.
If Mumbai win their last game, they will finish with 17 points, which should be enough to secure qualification regardless of other results.
But if MI lose and Delhi manage to beat Punjab, then DC will move to 16 points, just edging past Mumbai’s 15.
