Delhi ousted from IPL 2025, Mumbai won by 59 runs, secured Top 4 spot

Delhi: Mumbai Indians (Mi) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 59 runs and confirmed their place in the playoffs, while Delhi’s dream of reaching the playoffs ended. In this match, Mumbai scored 180 runs while batting first, adding 48 runs in the last two overs. Delhi could only score 121 runs and lost the match. Now Mumbai, Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) have become the fourth team to make it to the playoffs.

First innings game

The innings of Mumbai Indians was slow and big shots were rarely seen in the first 10 overs. Rohit Sharma (5 runs) was dismissed early and Ryan Ricelton (25 runs) tried to play for a while, but the run pace could not be accelerated. Will Jacks (21 runs) and Tilak Verma (27 runs) contributed some to the middle order, but the wickets kept falling at regular intervals.

However, Surya had a different mood. Suryakumar Yadav played an unbeaten 73 in 43 balls, including 7 fours and 4 skyscraper sixes. In the final overs, Naman Dhir (24 runs, 8 balls) played him and together added a total of 48 runs to the last two overs – 19th and 20th. These two overs proved to be the turning point of the match and Mumbai’s score reached 180/5.

Delhi bowling

The bowlers of Delhi Capitals initially bowled tightly. Mukesh Kumar took 2 important wickets for 48 runs in 4 overs, while Chamera also took 1 wicket. Mustafizur Rahman and Kuldeep Yadav got one success each, but the bowling was seen disintegrating in the end overs.

In the 19th and 20th over, Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir spoiled the line-length of Delhi bowlers by scoring a rage. Vipraj Nigam and Kuldeep Yadav bowled affordable, but they could not get wickets.

Second innings game

Delhi Capitals had a target of 181 runs, but their start was very poor. By 27 runs, 3 major batsmen of Delhi had returned to the pavilion. KL Rahul scored just 11 runs while opening, while Faf du Plessis and Abhishek Porel added only six runs.

Subsequently, the partnership between Vipraj Nigam and Sameer Rizvi stabilized for a while, but Vipraj was dismissed by 20 runs. By 65 runs, half of Delhi’s team had returned to the pavilion. Finishers like Triston Stabs and Ashutosh Sharma also could not make special contribution in this match. Sameer Rizvi stayed at one end and scored an important innings of 39 runs despite the pressure, but he could not succeed in winning his team.

Delhi had once scored 103 runs at the loss of 5 wickets, but after that the entire team returned to the pavilion within the next 18 runs. Delhi’s performance was so bad that 7 out of 11 of his batsmen could not touch the double figure.

Mumbai bowling

For Mumbai Indians, Mitchell Santner and Jaspreet Bumrah wreaked havoc on Delhi batsmen. Santner took 3 wickets for just 11 runs in 4 overs, while Bumrah took 3 wickets for just 12 runs in 3.2 overs. Apart from this, Trent Bolt, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks and Karn Sharma also took one wicket each.
