Game no. 63 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is the last chance for Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) to book their spot in the IPL playoffs. Since PBKS, RCB, and GT are locked in the playoffs, these games become a knockout match for both teams.
Playing in 12 games Mumbai Indians have won seven matches. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have won six games out of 12 and are in the 5th spot. In the race of IPL playoffs both teams have a high chance to get in the top-four spot. However, if Mumbai Indians go into the playoffs, they aim for their sixth title. While DC eyes their maiden title. With playoffs being the deciding game for MI, Hardik Pandya needs to pick the strongest playing XI for the game.
Top Order:
Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma are the two openers for MI. Both are playing well, which helps ME get off to a strong start in the power play overs. Both had a stand of 116 runs for the first wicket in the match against the Rajasthan Royals. Coming down the order, Will Jacks adds power to the top order. Will Jacks can also attack in power-play overs.
Middle Order:
The Middle Order benefited from Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma. Both batters can take the game deep and help the team to come out of a trouble situation. Suryakumar Yadav can put on a strong show with his powerful batting style. To add more power, Hardik Pandya joins him. MI’s batting lineup is stable, with these three players in control of the middle order.
Lower-Middle Order:
Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch can support the team’s batting line-up. Both players have power to support middle order batters and can hit some runs as well. Corbin Bosch provided help in bowling in middle overs of the game.
Lower Order:
Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah make the MI bowling unit a dangerous team to face. The three pacers can give a breakthrough at any phase of the match. MI will be highly dependent on these three bowlers to get them into the playoffs.
Impact Player: Karn Sharma comes in as an impact player for the team. He will be the lone spin bowlers and will support bowling attack. With a spin friendly track Karn Sharma can change the game for MI.
