How Mumbai Indians (MI) Can Qualify for IPL 2025 Playoffs Amid Rain Threat in Wankhede

The playoff race has come down to just one final spot, with Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru already sealing their places. Now, all eyes are on the Wankhede Stadium where Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to face off in a do-or-die match.

However, dark clouds hover over the venue as heavy rain is expected tonight. According to the weather forecast, there is a high chance of showers during the match, putting the clash under serious threat of abandonment.

What Happens If Rain Washes Out MI vs DC?

If rain forces a washout, both teams will get one point each. In that case, Mumbai Indians will stay at the fourth spot while Delhi Capitals will remain fifth. Both teams have one more match left — and both are against Punjab Kings.

Mumbai Indians Can Qualify If:

• DC lose to MI today — Mumbai will go through automatically.
• DC win today, but later lose to Punjab Kings and MI beat PBKS — Mumbai still qualifies based on points.

These are the two most possible ways for MI to secure the last playoff spot.

Currently, Delhi Capitals need to win both their remaining games or beat MI and hope Punjab beat MI in their final group-stage match.
