Delhi Capitals Playoff chances News

Mumbai’s IPL 2025 playoff race faces uncertainty as an 80% chance of rain threatens the crucial MI vs DC match at Wankhede Stadium on May 21. With Mumbai Indians holding 14 points and Delhi Capitals 13 points, a washout would force both teams to share points, complicating playoff qualification. Delhi would then depend on Punjab Kings beating Mumbai in their final game to keep hopes alive, while Mumbai must win their last match to secure a playoff spot. IPL’s new rule adds an extra hour for play to counter weather delays, but Wankhede’s poor drainage could still lead to a no-result, making weather updates critical for fans.

Gujarat Titans’ dominant win over Delhi Capitals confirmed their place in the IPL 2025 playoffs and simplified the qualification scenario. With GT, RCB, and PBKS securing spots, only one playoff berth remains. RCB continued their consistent run, while PBKS ended an 11-year playoff drought. Delhi Capitals now face an uphill task, needing two wins and favourable results. Mumbai Indians, with the best net run rate, are in a strong position to grab the final spot. LSG's chances are slim due to poor NRR. The MI vs DC clash on May 21 could be the virtual knockout for the last playoff place.  

Rain has once again disrupted the IPL 2025 season, with the highly anticipated clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ending in a washout. No ball was bowled due to persistent showers at the venue, and both teams were forced to share a point each. This result has had a direct impact on the updated IPL 2025 points table, as KKR now stand eliminated from the race to the playoffs, while RCB have topped the table with 17 points.

Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori blamed tricky home conditions and inconsistent performances for SRH's early IPL 2025 exit after a rain-hit draw against Delhi Capitals ended their playoff hopes.

The IPL 2025 points table saw a major shake-up after Punjab Kings defeated Lucknow Super Giants, climbing to second place with 15 points. Royal Challengers Bengaluru lead the table with 16 points, while Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans remain strong contenders at 14 points each. Delhi Capitals stay in the hunt with 12 points, as KKR, LSG, and others battle for survival. Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are officially eliminated. With net run rate playing a crucial role, the playoff race is tighter than ever. Each remaining game could determine which four teams make it to the knockout stage.
