IPL 2025: MI vs DC Match Prediction, Match 63 – Who will win today’s IPL match?

In this article, we will analyze the MI vs DC Match Prediction. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 continues with Mumbai Indians (MI) taking on Delhi Capitals (DC in Match No. 63 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, May 21. Notably, the upcoming fixture decides the fate of the playoffs qualification, as both teams are in desperate search for a win to strengthen their case to make it to the cut.

Mumbai Indians currently sit fourth on the points table with 14 points and a positive net run-rate (NRR) of 1.156. A win in the upcoming game will seal their place in the playoffs, taking them to 16 points, and eliminating Delhi, who can then only reach 15. MI have turned things around after a poor start, and this will be their first game since the IPL resumed on May 17.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, are fifth with 13 points and an NRR of +0.260. Their recent form has been a point of concern, but a win over MI will push them to 15 points and keep them in contention. They must then beat the Punjab Kings to qualify with 17 points. Meanwhile, the side dented their chances even further after losing their previous game to the Gujarat Titans. But with this being a virtual knockout, they will look to put the past performances behind them and come out fresh for this tie.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is expected to be a batting-friendly pitch. While pacers might get some early movement and spinners could find grip later, batters are likely to find gaps with relative ease. Dew is expected in the second innings, which is why teams might prefer chasing here. Rain might play spoilsport, with an 82% chance of showers.

Probable Best Batter of the Match- Suryakumar Yadav

MI’s Suryakumar Yadav could be the best batter in the upcoming game against DC. The right-handed batter has been in solid form so far and is currently the fourth-highest run-getter of the competition with 510 runs in 12 matches at an average of 63.75. The 34-year-old will have the responsibility to deliver with his bat and put his team in the driver’s seat.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match- Kuldeep Yadav

DC’s left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav could be the best bowler in the forthcoming game against MI. The chinaman has performed brilliantly with the ball in his hands so far in the competition.
