- Playoff Update: Mumbai Indians qualify; Delhi Capitals knocked out
In match number 63 of IPL 2025, it was all or nothing for both teams—Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals—and the stakes couldn’t have been higher. But when it mattered most, Mumbai played like true champions, while Delhi simply couldn’t hold their nerve. Mumbai defeated Delhi by a huge margin of 60 runs, officially knocking the Capitals out of the playoff race. With this, the final four teams for the playoffs are now confirmed!
Suryakumar & Naman Light Up Wankhede!
Mumbai lost the toss and were asked to bat first. And though their start was shaky, what happened at the end was pure fireworks!
Suryakumar Yadav played a masterclass, smashing an unbeaten 73 off just 43 balls, with 7 boundaries and 6 sixes. Alongside him, young gun Naman Dhir went wild in the last overs, scoring a blazing 24 runs off just 8 balls.
Together, in the final 12 balls, they smashed 48 runs! Thanks to their explosive hitting, Mumbai set a target of 181 runs for Delhi.
Rohit Fails, Others Struggle
The innings didn’t start well though. Rohit Sharma fell early for just 5 runs. Will Jacks (21 off 13) and Ryan Rickelton (25 runs) tried to build the innings, but couldn’t convert. Even skipper Hardik Pandya managed only 3 runs.
But Surya’s brilliance made sure Mumbai had a solid total to defend.
Delhi’s Batting Falls Apart Again
Chasing 181, Delhi needed a strong start. But things went downhill immediately. Faf du Plessis, who was leading the team in Axar Patel’s absence, got out for just 6 runs.
Everyone had high hopes from Rahul, especially after his century in the previous match—but he too failed, scoring only 11. Abishek Porel managed just 6 runs.
The top order collapsed, and with it, Delhi’s playoff hopes began to fade.
Samir Rizvi Tries to Fight
There was a little resistance from Samir Rizvi, who scored a fighting 39—the highest for Delhi. Vipraj Nigam added 20, and Ashutosh Sharma scored 18, but it wasn’t enough.
Once Ashutosh got out, Delhi completely lost momentum, and their innings wrapped up quickly.
Playoff Teams Confirmed!
With this huge win, Mumbai has secured their place in the Top 4. And now, the four teams heading to the IPL 2025 Playoffs are:
- Gujarat Titans
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
- Punjab Kings
- Mumbai Indians
Why Did Axar Patel Not Play Today?
The answer is—minor hamstring strain, as confirmed by the DC physio. Faf du Plessis stepped in as captain, but the result was a disaster.
Who scored the most runs in MI vs DC?
Suryakumar Yadav was the top scorer with 73* for Mumbai Indians.
Are Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 playoffs now?
