Mumbai Indians (MI) secured a crucial victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2025 clash at Wankhede Stadium on May 21. MI posted a competitive total of 180/5 in their 20 overs, largely thanks to a brilliant unbeaten 73 off 43 balls by Suryakumar Yadav, who anchored the innings with a mix of patience and aggression. Naman Dhir’s quickfire 24* off 8 balls provided vital momentum in the final overs, helping MI accelerate to a strong finish. Despite early wickets falling, MI’s depth in batting allowed them to build a defendable total against a quality DC bowling attack.
In response, DC struggled to gain momentum amid disciplined bowling from MI. Mitchell Santner was the star with the ball, claiming 3 wickets for just 11 runs in his 4 overs, while Jasprit Bumrah chipped in with 3 wickets, keeping the DC batsmen under constant pressure. Sameer Rizvi was the lone bright spot for DC with a 39-run effort, but the lack of substantial partnerships led to DC being bowled out for 121 in just 18.2 overs. MI’s all-around performance and tactical bowling display ensured a comprehensive 59-run victory.
