MI vs DC: Weather and Pitch Report

The temperature in Mumbai on May 21, 2025, will be warm, at 28-32°C, with a relative humidity of 40-50%. There is a 96% chance of precipitation, which may bring the DLS into action, making the game unpredictable. The Wankhede Stadium track is famous for being batsman-friendly, with a flat pitch, quick outfield, and short boundaries that favor high-scoring games. The fast bowlers will get some initial movement, but the pitch will generally support stroke-makers. The dew factor might make captains prefer to chase as it might disrupt bowlers' grip during the second innings, and there is the choice to ask for a ball change if conditions deteriorate.

MI vs DC: Match Preview

It's all to play for between MI and DC as they vie for the last playoff spot in IPL 2025. MI are in remarkable form with some strong performances recently and with their batting lineup featuring Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Naman Dhir. Their bowling, particularly in the middle overs has been strong with 44 wickets, an average of 21.73 and an economy rate of 7.97, with support from Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar and Ashwani Kumar. MI makes them a tough team to beat with their home ground advantage also.
 
 
Delhi Capitals started separately well in season but have lost their last five. KL Rahul, Tristan Stubbs, and Axar Patel seem to hold the batting line up together, while their bowling seems to have been the weekest bowling while away from home, notching up just 19 wickets with an average of 35.15 and a strike rate of 25 being the weekest in IPL 2025. They will need Kuldeep Yadav to rediscover some form. DC have been strong with their powerplay batting, but losing 23 wickets in the powerplay this season highlights their vulnerability.
