Batting first, MI posted a formidable 205/5 in their 20 overs. Tilak Varma led the charge with a commanding 59 off 33 balls, showcasing maturity and aggression in equal measure. He was ably supported by Ryan Rickelton (41 off 25) and Suryakumar Yadav (40 off 28), who accelerated the scoring rate in the middle and death overs. For DC, Kuldeep Yadav (2/23) and Vipraj Nigam (2/41) were the standout bowlers who helped keep MI from crossing the 210-run mark.
In response, DC looked competitive throughout the chase, thanks to a magnificent 89 off 40 balls by Karun Nair. His knock kept DC in the hunt until the 19th over, but a tight finish from MI’s bowlers, especially Karn Sharma (3/36), helped close the game. Abishek Porel (33 off 25) and Ashutosh Sharma (17 off 14) chipped in, but their efforts fell just short as DC were bowled out for 193 in 19 overs.
As a result of this match, the IPL 2025 points table sees a significant shuffle. Gujarat Titans (GT) now climb to the top spot with 8 points and a net run rate of +1.081, just edging past DC, who remain on 8 points but with a slightly lower NRR of +1.006. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) round out the top five with 8, 8, and 6 points respectively.
Mumbai Indians, despite their victory, remain at 7th position with 4 points from 6 matches, and still have a negative net run rate (+0.027). Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals (RR), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continue to languish in the bottom three, making every upcoming game crucial for their playoff hopes.
The tournament has officially reached its most competitive phase, with six teams tied at 8 or 6 points. With playoff spots still wide open, IPL 2025 promises to deliver many more twists in the coming weeks.
