Scorecard
Mumbai Indians secured the final spot in IPL 2025 playoffs with a dominating 59-run win against Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. Their home side took an immediate step into the top four while showing they are ready for any challenges that lie ahead with an all-round approach led by Mitchell Santner who continues his remarkable performances this season.
Wankhede track was dry and slow with little evidence of turn, prompting Delhi to bat first in order to try and contain MI batsmen. But their hopes of narrow victory were dashed thanks to brilliant bowling performance from host’s seamers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah who bowled superbly throughout.
DC, having fallen to fifth in the table, needed a win to remain playoff contenders. Unfortunately for them, their innings never got going and their top order disintegrated quickly – Faf du Plessis being sent packing after only 12 balls, followed by Ryan Rickelton being dismissed in just the 5.2nd over.
Delhi were looking to gain a foothold in their run chase, but Jake Fraser-McGurk and KL Rahul’s wickets proved crucial early. Both openers rank amongst the lowest scorers of IPL this season – if Delhi are going to succeed in the playoffs they must step up their performance!
Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir’s outstanding performances helped Mumbai Indians post an impressive 181 for five total. Yadav, back after missing three matches due to a hamstring injury, spearheaded their recovery by hitting 73 off 49 balls played patiently – an outstanding fifth-wicket stand of 60 off 33 with Dhir proving particularly fruitful in this innings.
Mumbai were in need of some quick action from Dhir and Varma late on to recover from their middle-order collapse and salvage the match for their hosts, but both proved themselves more than capable by scoring 38 runs off 17 balls and pairing up in the last over to give their innings some much-needed stability. Dhir’s 38 off 17 provided them with an invaluable foundation. His partnership with Tilak Varma in that final over made all the difference as Mumbai recovered their momentum after mid-order collapses had cost them dear.
Mumbai Indians triumphantly edged out a close game thanks to two run-outs off four deliveries off their final over, sealing victory. Unfortunately for them they will miss wicket-keeper Ryan Rickelton, all-rounder Will Jacks, and seamer Corbin Bosch due to international commitments over the coming fortnight; however Jonny Bairstow and Sri Lanka T20I skipper Charith Asalanka have both signed temporary replacement agreements as temporary replacements.
Mumbai Indians 181 for 5 (Suryakumar Yadav 73 not out) beat Delhi Capitals 121 for 7 (KL Rahul 8 not out) by 59 runs
At Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi Capitals were set to face Mumbai Indians for their 29th match of the Indian Premier League 2025, looking to extend their unbeaten runs in this high-stakes encounter which could prove decisive to both teams’ campaigns.
Home team MI won the toss and elected to bat first, however they struggled to find their stride quickly and promptly lost three wickets within nine balls as Abishek Porel, Vipraj Nigam and Tristan Stubbs fell cheaply. Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir combined in an unbeaten 57-run partnership which put MI in an advantageous position at half time.
DC’s lower middle order found themselves struggling against Mumbai bowlers’ pace and spin. Amit Mishra and Jasprit Bumrah stood out, taking two wickets each to keep DC from getting away too easily.
Amit Mishra and Jasprit Baumrah both made impressive saves at crucial moments when fielding, but unfortunately their performance couldn’t prevent Delhi’s innings from stalling at 121 for seven.
Delhi had such an encouraging start to their season but have fallen away badly over recent games due to poor batting depth, inconsistent top order performances, and captain Pant’s injury-induced absence – factors which all conspired against their chances of making the top four finish.
Even with this setback, there remains plenty of reason to remain optimistic about the franchise’s future. Young players like Shubhman Gill and Rahul have shown promise this season; and their overseas signings have proven very fruitful as well.
However, it’s essential for the club to find some consistency in their performances – particularly bowling – since their performances haven’t met expectations. With such a competitive league at play, it is key for teams to develop an identity and stick with it if they wish to compete for top spots.

Mumbai Indians secured the final playoff spot in the Indian Premier League by defeating Delhi Capitals by 59 runs at Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, guaranteeing them a place alongside Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings for knockout stages of this cash-rich tournament. Meanwhile, Delhi fell into disgrace as their hopes of making the top four were dashed away with such an emphatic loss.
Delhi have struggled for consistency this season despite starting unbeaten, both with their batting and bowling performances. KL Rahul remains their main anchor while they search for balance among their lineup – leading to several close finishes this season such as their one-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday.
Delhi bowlers have performed admirably despite an inconsistent batting performance so far this season, conceding just over 200 runs across six matches in their opening innings. Though Axar Patel was unavailable due to illness at the back end, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj have shown good form over recent weeks.
Delhi batsmen struggled from the outset of their run chase and found themselves at 66-5 in 16 overs, having failed to gain momentum from Deepak Chahar’s slower delivery and falling victim to Faf du Plessis’ miscalculation and holed out to long-on. KL Rahul then tried too soon, pushing on too soon and was caught at mid-off by Ryan Rickelton off Trent Boult; Abishek Porel and Vipraj Nigam also went cheaply putting Delhi further behind; leaving only 42 off 24 needed.
Ashutosh Sharma’s composed 66 off 31 balls gave DC hope of mounting an exciting comeback, but two overs later Mitchell Santner bowled a quick bowler a similar delivery and Tristan Stubbs hit five sixes off Santner to move the score up to 121-5 and seal their fate.
Suryakumar Yadav then led MI to victory with an unbeaten 73 off 43 balls containing seven fours and four sixes – an unassailable six-game lead over Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Punjab Kings who chased MI’s lead from behind in an unprecedented six game win streak en route to winning this year’s IPL league table race. Now MI will meet these four sides again for playoff action that will determine who becomes India’s coveted T20 competition champion!
