Mumbai Indians will square off against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium in the 63rd match of the ongoing IPL 2025 on Wednesday. With only one playoff spot available, this game could well decide who qualifies for the last four.
MI currently has one more point than DC and thus a win would assure them their playoff berth. DC, on the other hand, have veered off the track after a solid first half and they must win this game to keep themselves afloat.
With qualification on the line, both teams would look to bring their A-game to the table.
Mumbai Indians (MI) have picked Jonny Bairstow, Richard Gleeson and Charith Asalanka as replacements for Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch. The replacement players will be available from the Playoffs stage onwards, should MI qualify.
