Mumbai Indians delivered a clinical performance on Wednesday at the Wankhede Stadium, securing a comprehensive 59-run victory over Delhi Capitals to seal the fourth and final playoff spot in IPL 2025. With this decisive result, Delhi's campaign came to a disappointing end, as they were officially eliminated from the tournament.

After being asked to bat first, Mumbai posted a competitive total of 180 for 5 in their 20 overs, largely built around a stellar innings from Suryakumar Yadav. The flamboyant right-hander anchored the MI innings with an unbeaten 73 off just 43 deliveries, peppering the boundary with seven fours and clearing it four times with elegant sixes. Despite regular setbacks at the other end, Suryakumar held firm, expertly accelerating at the death to propel Mumbai to a defendable score.
