MI vs DC, IPL 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report
Mumbai Indians (MI) are taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 63 of IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This is a crunch match keeping the playoffs scenario in mind. MI and DC are the only two sides that are in contention for the one top four slot that is still up for grabs. Mumbai are fourth, with 14 points from 12 matches, while Delhi are fifth, with 13 points from 12 games.
A win for MI on Wednesday will confirm their spot in the playoffs. In such a scenario, they will go up to 16 points, while Delhi can finish with a maximum of 15 points even if they beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last league match. In case Mumbai go down to Delhi, they will need DC to go down to PBKS and will then need to beat Punjab in their last league match.
For Delhi, Wednesday's match is a must-win game as a loss will knock them out of the playoffs race. The best-case scenario for DC would be to win both their remaining league matches. Two wins in two matches will confirm their playoffs berth, knocking out Mumbai. However, Delhi have lost three of their last four games. In their previous match, Gujarat Titans (GT) beat them by 10 wickets.

Today's MI vs DC pitch report
“It's lovely and, as we look, the sun’s really baked this wicket out as well. There are some patches of grass, but it's actually very well rolled into the pitch. Looks like the groundsman has topped it up with a little bit of extra moisture to hold it all together. Off-pace deliveries from the seamers could be little tricky. If you bat first, you’ve got to get 200. Expect a bit of dew, because it's very humid.” - Pommie Mbangwa and Matthew Hayden
