Match Overview

Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will be up against each other in the 63rd Match of the IPL 2025. Both teams are in contention for a spot in the playoffs, and their match could be an indirect knockout clash. Mumbai Indians start as the favorites due to the Capitals’ current form and the strength of either side on paper.

MI has a strong batting lineup consisting of Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma. Even their bowling has come good with Karn Sharma, Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar, and Deepak Chahar helping Jasprit Bumrah.

On the other hand, DC’s form has disappeared after starting the tournament on a great note. In their first six matches, DC had five wins and lost just one of their matches. Since then, the 2020 runners-up have won just a solitary match and lost four matches, with one of their matches ending without a result. Their bowling unit has been disappointing, while some of their key batters have either failed or have not converted good starts into big knocks.

Both teams have some of the best players in the world in their line-ups. While MI has Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, and others, DC has KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and others. It could be a great contest at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday evening, as the qualification of both teams highly depends on the result of this match.

MI vs DC Pitch Report

The match will start at 7:30 PM in the evening, which witnesses early swing due to the sea breeze. Pacers from both sides can make good use of the new ball and trouble the batters, making it one of the toughest venues to score runs at the beginning.

With the progression of the match, the wicket gets better, and the red soil makes it a good surface to bat on, generally. Spinners get some turn too, but pacers will play a huge role in the success of their teams. Dew is unlikely to be a factor; however toss could be a big one. Team winning the toss would love to bowl first and restrict their opponents to a low total.

MI vs DC Match – Weather update:

  • Rain forecast: 30-60%
  • Temperature: 28-30°C
  • Humidity: 80-85%

MI vs DC Match Prediction – Toss Prediction & Impact

MI vs DC Toss winner likely to choose: Bowl first

The Wankhede Stadium is one of the best batting venues in the country. The flat pitch and the small boundaries make it easier for the batters to score big. Additionally, the bowlers also get some swing with the ball early on in the night games. So, both the teams are expected to bowl first after winning the toss.

MI vs DC Head-to-Head Record 

MI and DC have faced each other in 36 instances in IPL history since 2008. MI has a slight advantage, with 20 wins to their name. DC has won 16 matches, and none of their matches have ended without a result.

Expert Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

  • If MI bat first, they are expected to post around 190-200. The Wankhede pitch will be ideal for batting and with MI in good form, a big score is expected. They also have ample firepower in their bowling lineup to defend a good total.
  • If DC bat first, they are likely to score around 170-180. DC have struggled with their bowling in recent games and their bowlers might fail to defend the total once again.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will clash in IPL 2025. With both teams already eliminated from the playoff race, this match will be a battle for pride. Before the match, let’s look at their head-to-head record.

Match Preview Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals

CSK will play against RR in the 62nd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams are already eliminated from the IPL 2025 Playoffs race, and with two more matches left for both teams, all they have is to play for pride.

Chennai Super Kings has a forgettable tournament for them so far. The team backed experience as always, but this time the experience backfired as almost all their new batters were out of form, and the ones who played weren’t able to adapt to the newer demands of T20 cricket and that’s having an intent to score. However, as a silver lining, CSK’s bowlers did pretty well with the likes of Khaleel and Noor among wickets.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals just couldn’t find a good support from their bowlers. Their batting was good, but luck wasn’t by their side as they lost a few close encounters. But bowling was disappointing as not a single bowler stood out with his performance. Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma were good, but only in parts. Whereas others like Tushar Dehspande, Maheesh Theekshana, and Wanindu Hasaranga have been disappointing.

Pitch Report

The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium typically is batting-friendly, especially during the early overs when the ball comes onto the bat nicely, favoring aggressive stroke play. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, assisting spinners and making it challenging for batters to maintain momentum.

Weather Report

The weather forecast is expected to be warm and sunny. There are no chances of rain during the game. The temperature is likely to be around 41°C  with 43% humidity.

CSK vs RR Predicted Playing XIs

Chennai Super Kings (CSK):

Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, Devon Conway, Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana.

Impact Player: Shivam Dube.

Rajasthan Royals (RR):

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kwena Maphaka, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Madhwal, Fazalhaq Farooqi.

Impact Player: Shubham Dubey.

Head-to-Head Record

CSK and RR have played 30 matches against each other so far, with the former winning 16 and the latter 14, making it an intriguing contest between the two sides.

Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction

Chennai Super Kings, with their experienced lineup and tactical acumen, are likely to have a slight edge over Rajasthan Royals, who have shown inconsistency this season. However, RR’s potential to turn the game around, especially if their key players find form, could make this match unpredictable.

Match Overview

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the upcoming Match No. 61 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 19.

With three games remaining, LSG are in a must-win situation as they hold the seventh position on the points table with 10 points from 11 games. Their playoff hopes are tough, and another loss would officially knock them out of contention. The Rishabh Pant-led side lost four of their last five matches and are lacking momentum and confidence. However, a repose can just work wonders for the side, as they have gotten time to re-think their strategies.

Furthermore, star pacer Mayank Yadav has been ruled out due to injury and replaced by New Zealand’s Will O’Rourke. LSG’s best-case scenario is winning all three remaining fixtures, against SRH, GT, and RCB, to reach 16 points. However, their poor net run-rate (NRR) of -0.469 means they’ll need favourable results from other teams as well.

For SRH, already eliminated with just three wins in 11 games, are playing for their pride and can play to spoil the party of other teams. The Orange Army would hope to dent LSG’s playoff chances, especially after losing to them earlier this season. Notably, all overseas players are available for selection.

LSG vs SRH Pitch Report

This season, the Ekana Stadium’s surface has changed from being a low-scoring pitch to a high-scoring track. 181 runs have been the most successful chase. Consequently, on the pitch, a score higher than 190 will be competitive.

PITCH

The surface of the Ekana Cricket Stadium looks good for batting this year unlike the previous years where the bowlers had advantage. It provides a fair contest between bat and ball that could lead to a competitive match. The team batting first at this ground won eight times while the chasing team came out victorious on 10 occasions. The average score at this ground is 168 runs.

LSG vs SRH Weather Report

There are no chances of rain during the game in Lucknow on Monday, with a maximum temperature of 39°C and a minimum of 28°C.

LSG vs SRH Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter Prediction: Aiden Markram (LSG)

Aiden-Markram
Aiden-Markram.

LSG opener Aiden Markram could play a big role with the bat against SRH. The South African batter has been crucial in giving his side solid starts and has partnered well with Mitchell Marsh to form a strong opening pair. He has amassed 348 runs from 11 innings at an average of 31.63 and a strike rate of 146.83. The right-handed batter has smashed four half-centuries so far and will look to bat with the same intent. 


Probable Best Bowler Prediction: Harshal Patel (SRH)

Harshal-Patel
Harshal-Patel.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s pacer Harshal Patel could be the bowler to watch out for on Monday. The right-arm medium pacer has picked up 14 wickets from 10 matches at an average of 22.92, and is currently the best bowler of his side. He will have a key role to play, especially in the middle and death overs.

DC VS GT

Team View


Delhi Capitals showed resilience in their last match, though the abandoned game against Punjab Kings left them with 14 points from 12 matches. Their recent Super Over win against GT in April 2025 highlights their fighting spirit 9. Shreyas Iyer’s leadership, combined with Mitchell Starc’s pace and Axar Patel’s all-round skills, remains key. However, inconsistency in batting and spin bowling could hurt them.

Gujarat Titans, known for their balanced squad, rely on Shubman Gill’s consistency, Sai Sudharsan’s aggression, and Rashid Khan’s spin. GT’s top-order stability and experienced finishers like David Miller make them a formidable side. Their head-to-head record against DC is tight, with GT narrowly trailing 29.

DC vs GT Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium can be expected to be on the drier side, assisting the spinners. The team that wins the toss will want to bowl first, as dew might play a role in the second innings. A score of 180 to 200 can be considered a par score at the venue.

  • KL Rahul – KL Rahul has been calm but assertive—381 runs in nine innings with a strike rate of 142.16.
  • Kuldeep Yadav –  Kuldeep Yadav has kept things tight in the middle overs, taking 12 wickets with an economy rate of 6.74. 

Top Picks – Gujarat Titans

  • Shahrukh Khan – Shahrukh Khan has quietly scored 229 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 159.
  • Sai Kishore – Sai Kishore has added 14 while retaining control with an economy of 8.37, the lowest among bowlers.

Toss Prediction

DC vs GT Match Prediction:

Key Battles: Josh Buttler vs Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel vs Rashid Khan

Likely Winner: GT (55% chance). Buttler’s form, Sudharsan’s consistency, and Rashid’s spin edge favor GT, but DC’s home advantage and Axar’s all-round prowess can challenge.

RCB :

  • Virat Kohli : Century drought in IPL 2025 adds motivation.
  • Glenn Maxwell : Finishing prowess (50+ average in death overs).
  • Mohammed Siraj : Relies on swing and yorkers (15+ wickets this season).

IPL Match 59 (LSG vs RCB): Toss Predictions 

It is now time to look at the LSG vs RCB toss predictions. Astrologically, the toss for this match seems to be in favour of LSG. The captain of LSG, Pant, has a little support from the divine. His chart recently sees a shift of the Sun into his 7th house. 

The transit of the Sun in Aries favours this placement, bringing him benefits in his profession. Additionally, this period will be dedicated to earning rewards for the previous hard work. Thus, winning the toss will be a reward from the universe to Pant for his previous efforts and hard work. 

LSG vs RCB Win Prediction

 

Considering the current form of both teams, RCB have higher chances to win the contest, whether they will bowl first or bat. RCB’s batters have shown great intent this season while their bowlers have been performing consistently. On the other hand, LSG have failed in both departments. Also out of the five matches played in Lucknow this season, the home side has managed to win only two. On the flip side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been dominant away from home. That gives the visitors an edge in this contest.

Match Overview

Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will play the 58th match of the IPL 2025 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on May 8.

The match will be important for both the sides with the race for the playoffs heating up. PBKS have one win more than DC and a victory will nearly seal the qualification for them. 

On the other hand, the Delhi-based franchise will be looking forward to going back to winning ways by beating the home team. Their start to the IPL was fantastic with four wins in four games, but they lost momentum afterwards and are stuck in fifth spot with six wins in 11 matches.

As the tournament is nearing its end, the teams will have to be extra careful in going about their gameplans, especially the ones who are on the verge of qualifying for the playoffs. Until now, no teams have officially qualified for the playoffs. 

Pitch Conditions

  • Nature of the Pitch : The HPCA Stadium pitch is balanced , offering assistance to both batsmen and bowlers . It typically provides:
    • Good bounce : Favors seam bowlers early, while spinners gain traction later in the innings.
    • Moderate pace : Neither excessively slow nor fast, making it suitable for strokeplay and tight bowling.
  • Moisture Levels : Historical data suggests the pitch retains slight moisture in cooler conditions, aiding lateral movement for pacers upfront and turn for spinners in the death overs .
  • Chasing Advantage : Teams batting second have a 60% win rate at this venue due to predictable bounce and visibility under lights

Weather Conditions

  • Forecast : The match is expected to be played under clear skies with no rain interruptions, as per historical trends for Dharamsala in May .
  • Temperature : Daytime highs in Dharamsala during May range between 15°C to 25°C 8, ensuring comfortable playing conditions.
  • Wind & Humidity : While Dharamsala is known for moderate winds due to its hilly terrain, these are unlikely to disrupt gameplay significantly. However, wind can affect a batter’s ability to judge the ball’s trajectory .
  • Impact on Play : Clear weather ensures the outfield remains dry, allowing bowlers to maintain grip and batsmen to strike the ball cleanly. High humidity (if present) could soften the ball, slightly reducing pace and swing.

Stadium Statistics

  • Highest Team Score : 213/2 (DC vs PBKS, 2023).
  • Lowest Team Score : 108/9.
  • Top Individual Score : 91* (Rilee Rossouw, PBKS).

Impact Player: Ashutosh Sharma

Combined Impact on Strategy

  • Toss Decision : The winning captain may opt to bowl first to exploit early swing/movement and leave the chasing side to contend with dew later.
  • Batting : Openers must adapt to potential swing in the powerplay, while middle-order batters (e.g., Shreyas Iyer or Rishabh Pant) can capitalize on the pitch’s consistency in the latter stages.
  • Bowling : Seamers like Arshdeep Singh (PBKS) and Khaleel Ahmed (DC) could exploit early moisture, while spinners like Harpreet Brar and Axar Patel will target the middle overs when the ball grips .
  • Fielding : Groundsmen will ensure the outfield is dry to prevent slips, especially during high-pressure run chases .

PBKS vs DC: Predictions

Punjab Kings have done pretty well this season. They’ve stayed steady and will be looking to keep that going as the league nears its end.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, had a decent start, but things have slipped lately. For them, this match is massive. If they lose, their chances of making the playoffs could drop even further.

Punjab are sitting in a stronger position, but they won’t want to leave anything to chance. A win here could nearly lock in their top-four spot.

As for Delhi, it all depends on how their bowlers perform. If the bowling unit doesn’t step up, it’s hard to see them stopping Punjab, who have a powerful batting lineup.

kkr csk

Overview

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) continue their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign by taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their upcoming match. Both sides will face off at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the 57th game of the tournament on Wednesday, May 07.

Kolkata will be coming into the clash after registering a one-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the same venue. The recent win has kept their hopes alive to stay in the race for a playoff berth. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side will look to win all their remaining games and hope other team results land in their favour. 

On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led side is coming off its fourth consecutive defeat. Being the first team to be eliminated this season, the Yellow Army has a good opportunity to spoil other teams’ parties. Notably, CSK has had an upper hand over the Men in Purple in the past and will look to better that.

Eden Gardens Pitch Report

The Eden Gardens pitch is expected to be an even contest. This season, the surface has helped seamers early with swing and bounce, while making it tough for spinners due to even grass cover.  Dew could play a major role in the second innings. In the previous match here, slow bowlers found grip and success, but this time, the pitch is expected to favour batters more. The team that wins the toss might look to bat first and put on a good total.

KKR vs CSK Weather Report:

Temperature: 25-28°C (night).

KKR vs CSK Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter of the Match—Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi
Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Chennai Super Kings. With 285 runs in his last 10 innings, the right-hand batter has been a dependable batter for the defending champions so far. The young batter is coming off a solid 44-run cameo against the Rajasthan Royals and will be hoping to carry on the same momentum. 

Probable Best Bowler of the Match—Varun Chakaravarthy

Varun Chakaravarthy.
Varun Chakaravarthy.

KKR’s star spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has always put his hand up whenever the team is in a tough spot. With 15 wickets in his last 11 matches, the mystery bowler has been KKR’s highest wicket-taker this season so far. Chakaravarthy, who is well-versed with the pitch conditions, will be looking to use them to his advantage and bamboozle the CSK batters.

Match Prediction: Team batting first to win the match

Scenario 1

If Kolkata Knight Riders bat first:

  • KKR PP: 60-70
  • KKR Total: 200-215
  • Kolkata Knight Riders to win

Scenario 2

  • CSK PP: 50-60
