Mumbai Indians have done it -- they바카라™ve snatched the fourth playoff spot in the Indian Premier League 2025 with a crushing 59-run demolition of Delhi Capitals at the very own Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday night (Match Blog)
From rock bottom to the top four, the five-time champions have scripted one of the most stunning comeback stories of the season. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals, who were flying high earlier, now see their dreams of an elusive first IPL title shattered once again.
Faf du Plessis바카라™ men, missing the presence of Axar Patel due to illness, won the toss and opted to chase, hoping to control the game. Their plan seemed solid early on as Mumbai lost three wickets inside the powerplay and looked vulnerable at 63 for 3 in 7 overs.
Kuldeep Yadav removed the opener Ryan Rickelton for 25 off 18 balls, completing his 100th IPL wicket.
But cricket, as always, had other plans in such high-stakes games.
Then came the moment DC didn바카라™t want--the arrival of Suryakumar Yadav in scintillating form. As usual, SKY delivered a classic performance in the death overs, guiding Mumbai Indians to a competitive total of 180/5 in 20 overs with a blazing 43-ball 73.
Chasing a stiff target of 181, Delhi Capitals had a disastrous start, losing KL Rahul (11), Faf du Plessis (6), and Abishek Porel (6) inside the powerplay.
Sameer Rizvi looked promising with a quickfire 39, but Mitchell Santner ended his charge. Vipraj Nigam followed suit with a brief counterattack, only for Santner to strike again.
Then came Jasprit Bumrah with his magic touch -- trapping Tristan Stubbs lbw, and removing Madhav Tiwari and Mustafizur Rahman to wrap things up. Delhi were bowled out for just 121 in 18.2 overs, handing Mumbai a win, they wanted to pursue the dream of sealing their 6th IPL crown - most by anyone in history of the league.
