How Delhi Capitals (DC) Can Qualify for IPL 2025 Playoffs Amid Rain Threat at Wankhede
Delhi Capitals IPL 2025 Playoff Qualification Scenario Explained with Each Game
The battle for the final playoff spot in IPL 2025 is down to two teams – Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI). With Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru already qualifying, tonight’s clash at Wankhede Stadium holds the key to the last ticket for the playoffs.
However, there’s one major concern – rain. The weather forecast suggests a high chance of rainfall in Mumbai, and the match could be abandoned if conditions worsen.
What Happens If Rain Washes Out DC vs MI?
If the game gets called off, both DC and MI will share one point each. That result will benefit Mumbai Indians, who will stay ahead of DC in the points table. It will make Delhi’s qualification much tougher, as they’ll have to depend on other results.
Delhi Capitals Can Qualify If:
- They beat both MI and PBKS — This is the simplest way for DC to move ahead. Two wins will take them past MI and into the playoffs.
- They beat MI today, lose to PBKS, but PBKS also beat MI — In this case, DC will stay ahead of MI in points.
So, Delhi need to win tonight or hope Punjab Kings do them a favour later. The road to the playoffs is not impossible, but DC must bring their best game and also hope the rain stays away.
