The Delhi Capitals face off against the struggling Mumbai Indians in Match 29 of the IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi—a clash between the league's form team and one desperate for a turnaround.
Unbeaten after four games, Delhi Capitals have made a perfect start to their campaign. Sitting second on the table with 8 points and a net run rate of +1.278, they come into this fixture fresh off a comfortable six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
For Mumbai Indians, it's been a rocky road so far. With just one win from five games, they languish near the bottom of the standings in eighth place. Their most recent outing—a 12-run loss while chasing 222 against RCB—highlighted their inconsistency, especially up top.

DC vs MI Team News, Probable Playing XI and Key Players
Delhi Capitals Team News
Despite an early wobble at 58 for 4, a game-changing 111-run partnership between KL Rahul (93* off 53) and Tristan Stubbs (38* off 23) sealed the chase with 13 balls to spare.
Rahul has been the heartbeat of Delhi’s batting, amassing 185 runs in three outings at a blistering strike rate of 169.72. While Jake Fraser-McGurk is yet to hit top gear, his explosive potential remains intact. Meanwhile, Ashutosh Sharma has chipped in with crucial late-over runs, giving the lower order some sting.
With the ball, Mitchell Starc has been making early inroads, bagging 9 wickets in four games, albeit at a slightly expensive 9.47 economy. Kuldeep Yadav has kept things tight and incisive in the middle overs, with 8 scalps and a superb economy of 5.66. Vipraj Nigam has stepped up admirably with 5 wickets, and Axar Patel continues to apply the squeeze through the middle overs, often triggering collapses. Mohit Sharma, though occasionally expensive, remains a partnership breaker with his clever variations.

Mumbai Indians Team News
Tilak Varma (56 off 29) and Hardik Pandya (42 off 15) put up a spirited fight, but the early damage left too much to chase. The form of Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, and Ryan Rickelton remains a concern, as the top order continues to falter.
One bright spark has been Suryakumar Yadav, who’s led the charge with 199 runs at an average of 50 and a strike rate over 150. If Tilak and Hardik can build on their recent form, MI’s batting will begin to look far more formidable.
On the bowling front, Pandya has led by example with the ball, snaring 10 wickets at an economy of 8.57. Deepak Chahar has kept things steady, while Trent Boult remains a threat with the new ball. The return of Jasprit Bumrah has added much-needed firepower—his tight spells offer hope even in high-scoring games. Mitchell Santner has been reliable in the middle overs, and Vignesh Puthur has quietly impressed, picking up wickets consistently.
