MI vs DC Highlights, IPL 2025: Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians host Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday evening.
MI vs DC Highlights, Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025: Delhi and Mumbai are set to clash in a highly anticipated match at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, a contest that could significantly influence the final playoff standings. Should Mumbai emerge victorious, the equation becomes straightforward: the team, led by Hardik Pandya, will secure direct qualification for the playoffs. Conversely, if Delhi triumphs, they will remain in contention for a playoff spot, necessitating a win against the Punjab Kings in their final match.
However, the weather in Mumbai may play a crucial role in the outcome of Wednesday's encounter, as rain is forecasted. The inclement weather has already impacted the training sessions of both teams on Tuesday, forcing Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians to curtail their preparations. In the event of a washout, both teams will have to rely on their performances in their respective final matches against the Punjab Kings.
With only one playoff spot remaining, the competition is fierce. The Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Punjab Kings have already secured their places in the playoffs, leaving Delhi and Mumbai vying for the last coveted slot. Meanwhile, the Lucknow Super Giants, Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad have all been eliminated from contention.
WICKET! Jasprit Bumrah delivers a stunning full-length delivery that clean bowls the last batsman, Mustafizur. With this decisive moment, Mumbai Indians secure their place in the IPL 2025 Playoffs!
MI 180/5 (20)
DC 121 (18.2)
Santner takes two wickets. First, he bowls to Rizvi, who misses a slog sweep and gets bowled. Then, he dismisses Ashutosh, who misses a shot, allowing the wicketkeeper Rickleton to take the bails off quickly. Madhav Tiwari comes in to bat next.
During Santner's third over, there was a stumping appeal against Ashutosh, but he was deemed safe after replays showed he got his foot back in time. Later, Rizvi hit a hard shot back at Santner, who got his hand to the ball but couldn't catch it.
Boult bowls to Rahul, who hits a four by guiding the ball between point and third man. Boult pitches it wide again, Rahul attempts another shot but loses his balance and edges the ball leading to an easy catch for the wicketkeeper.
KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis are opening for Delhi Capitals, with Trent Boult bowling the first over. Rahul hits a wide delivery for a thick edge that races to third man for a four, while Faf also scores a four with a strong cover drive.
In the second over of the game, Chameera is bowling. Rickelton hits a powerful drive, but Nigam stops it at short cover to prevent a boundary. The next ball from Fuller is over-pitched, and Rickelton sends it over long on for the first six runs of the match. He hits another over-pitched delivery from Fuller over long off for a second six.
Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Faf du Plessis(c), Abishek Porel(w), Sameer Rizvi, Ashutosh Sharma, Tristan Stubbs, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Madhav Tiwari, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Mukesh Kumar
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Ryan Rickelton(w), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah
Faf du Plessis: (On Axar) Really sick in the last two days. We'll miss him today. Playing a good team today, we are up for it. We haven't been at our best in the last 5-6 games. Everyday there's a new opportunity. Looks a bit dry, we're chasing. Axar is not there, Axar is two players and it's difficult to replace him. We'll see how it goes.
Hardik Pandya: It's been under covers for a couple of days. We would have liked to bowl as well, but it's okay. Every game is important from now onwards, we want to play our best cricket. The boys are very excited. (Best yet to come?) Yes, definitely, I don't think we've had a complete game. They (crowd) have been fantastic. They have backed us even when we weren't on a roll. One change, Mitch comes, back, Bosch misses out.
With the looming threat of rain, predicting the outcome of the match becomes increasingly challenging. While the home team is favored on paper, their advantage could be significantly impacted by inclement weather and the complexities of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method. It is anticipated that the team winning the toss will opt to field, given the potential for rain to disrupt play.
Mumbai Indians Squad: Ryan Rickelton(w), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma, Raj Bawa, Robin Minz, Reece Topley, Ashwani Kumar, Mitchell Santner, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Krishnan Shrijith, Raghu Sharma, Arjun Tendulkar, Bevon Jacobs, Satyanarayana Raju
Delhi Capitals Squad: KL Rahul, Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel(w), Axar Patel(c), Tristan Stubbs, Sameer Rizvi, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mustafizur Rahman, Dushmantha Chameera, Sediqullah Atal, Karun Nair, Tripurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Ajay Jadav Mandal, Darshan Nalkande, Donovan Ferreira, Manvanth Kumar L
