With a yellow alert in Mumbai, rain threatens to derail Delhi Capitals’ playoff hopes as a washout could push Mumbai Indians closer to qualification.

Mumbai, May 21, 2025 – As the IPL 2025 playoff race heats up, the Delhi Capitals (DC) are staring at potential heartbreak—this time not from a rival team, but from the skies. Their crucial clash against the Mumbai Indians (MI), scheduled for Wednesday at the Wankhede Stadium, is under threat due to heavy rain forecasts in the city.

With MI and DC both eyeing the fourth playoff spot, the stakes couldn’t be higher.


Weather Watch: What the Forecast Says

Points Table Dynamics: What If the Match Is Abandoned?

Delhi Capitals’ Qualification Scenarios:

Here’s what Delhi needs to qualify:

  • Ideal Scenario: Win both remaining matches – vs MI and vs PBKS – to finish at 16 points.
  • If MI vs DC is washed out:
    • DC must defeat PBKS, AND
    • Hope MI lose their final game against PBKS.
    • If MI beat PBKS, they would finish with 17 points, eliminating Delhi regardless of DC’s result.

What’s at Stake for MI?

The Hardik Pandya-led MI are currently better placed. A no-result would push them closer to sealing the fourth playoff spot. A win against DC or PBKS would guarantee their qualification.


Final Word:

For Axar Patel’s Delhi Capitals, the equation is clear—they must win, or they must pray. The looming threat of rain makes the MI vs DC encounter not just a match, but a potential turning point in the playoff drama of IPL 2025.
