Mumbai Indians (MI) host Delhi Capitals (DC) at Wankhede Stadium tonight, in Match 63 of IPL 2025 — a clash crucial to both teams' playoff hopes. DC skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and decided to bowl first against hosts MI on the night.  A win for MI secures their playoff berth alongside RCB, GT, and PBKS. A loss, however, would mean MI must win their final game and hope DC lose theirs to stay in contention. For DC, the stakes are higher — a defeat will officially knock them out of playoff contention, making them the sixth team to exit the tournament. But a win keeps them alive; they’ll then just need to beat PBKS in their final game. If PBKS later defeat MI, DC can qualify with 15 points. With high pressure and playoff drama looming, this contest promises intense cricketing action.

MI Playing 11 vs DC 

MI will take the field against DC in an all-important IPL 2025 clash on Wednesday after a major setback that saw three of their mainstream overseas players — Corbin Bosch, Will Jacks, and Ryan Rickelton — ruled out. However, as the BCCI has eased the rule for player replacements for the rest of IPL 2025, the MI management has already signed Jonny Bairstow, Charith Asalanka, and Richard Gleeson as replacements. While Bairstow and Gleeson are likely to find their way into the playing 11, MI might opt to go for Reece Topley as a replacement for Bosch, leaving Asalanka on the bench.

DC Playing 11 vs MI 

DC have been completely shaken up after the brief halt of IPL 2025 earlier this month and have very limited resources at their disposal. While the result in their last match was less than satisfying, they are unlikely to make any changes in their playing 11 for the MI match, aiming to retain a sense of stability in this do-or-die game.
