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.
