The race to the IPL 2025 playoffs intensifies as Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 63 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, May 21. This high-stakes encounter could determine which team secures the final playoff berth, with both sides desperate for a victory.
Mumbai Indians are currently placed fourth on the points table with 14 points and a strong net run rate (NRR) of +1.156. A win in this clash would take their tally to 16 points, confirming their spot in the playoffs and simultaneously knocking Delhi Capitals out of contention, as DC can only reach 15 points at most. MI have managed to stage a comeback after a sluggish start to the season and will be playing their first match since the league resumed on May 17.

Delhi Capitals, sitting just below MI in fifth place with 13 points and an NRR of +0.260, find themselves in a must-win scenario. Their inconsistency has hurt their campaign, and a narrow loss to Gujarat Titans in their last outing has only added to the pressure. However, a win over MI would keep their hopes alive, taking them to 15 points and setting up a do-or-die match against Punjab Kings to reach 17.
With everything on the line, this fixture serves as a virtual knockout. Both teams will be looking to bring their best to the field, with the stakes as high as they’ve been all season. Mumbai will aim to leverage their home advantage at Wankhede, while Delhi must overcome recent setbacks and deliver under pressure to stay alive in the playoff race.
