Mumbai Indians currently hold the fourth position with 14 points and a strong Net Run Rate (NRR) of +1.156.
Delhi Capitals are in fifth place with 13 points and an NRR of +0.260.
MI's remaining matches are against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals, while DC will also face PBKS and MI.
Winning both remaining matches guarantees a playoff spot for either team. A loss, especially in the MI vs DC match, complicates qualification scenarios.
The schedule for the TATA IPL 2025 Playoffs has been announced, with Qualifier 1 in New Chandigarh and the final in Ahmedabad.
With Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and Punjab Kings (PBKS) having secured their playoff spots, and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) out of contention, the race is now between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.
Mumbai Indians (MI):
MI controls its destiny. Winning their remaining matches against PBKS and DC will take them to 18 points, ensuring a playoff berth and potentially a top-two finish. A loss, particularly against DC, would make qualification dependent on NRR and other match outcomes.
Delhi Capitals (DC):
DC needs consistency. Winning both their matches against PBKS and MI will take them to 17 points, securing a playoff spot. A loss in either match leaves them vulnerable and reliant on other results and NRR comparisons. The match against MI is critical, as a win boosts their chances and diminishes MI's.
