IPL 2025: Playoffs spot in danger as DC battle MI
Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are set to collide in what promises to be the most pivotal clash of the IPL 2025 for them on Wednesday at Wankhede Stadium. With the playoffs fast approaching, the 63rd match carries immense significance for both sides. MI are looking forward to securing a playoff berth, while DC are fighting for survival.
After encountering a sluggish start to the season, MI have staged a remarkable turnaround. Now, with 14 points under their belt, they now find themselves in a strong position to lock in a playoffs spot. The reason behind Mumbai’s resurgence has been their increasingly consistent batting lineup, which has contributed heavily. And their sharpened bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Karn Sharma has played a defining role.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals come into this contest under mounting pressure. Despite a dominant start to their campaign, DC’s momentum has all but evaporated. Having won just one of their last four games, their playoff hopes hang by a thread. A loss here would all but end their campaign, while a victory could reignite their charge and keep their season alive.
