KL Rahul to score Over 29.5
KL Rahul is fresh off a ton from the last game against GT. The Delhi batter averages over 62 at this venue in IPL and will be lurking for another big knock.
Suryakumar Yadav to score Over 29.5

Check out the IPL prediction for the MI vs DC match.
Delhi Capitals need to fix a lot of things
We have witnessed a dramatic collapse of the Delhi Capitals this season. Having won 4 of their first 5 games, the team succumbed to 4 losses and a no-result game from the next 7, and in the process, only managed 2 wins, including a super-over win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium against Rajasthan Royals.
What should Delhi do from here? The stage is set for the Capitals, win the next two matches and qualify for the playoffs. However, it won’t be that easy, especially with the teams they are playing against, i.e., MI and PBKS.
Delhi needs to fix a lot of things, especially in the bowling, which has been their main concern in the last 7 games. With the unavailability of Mitchell Starc, Delhi’s bowling looked flat as they couldn’t even take a single wicket against GT in the last game while defending 200. In batting, other batters around KL Rahul should contribute regularly. Even some small cameos of 20-30 runs around a big score would help. With no room for error now, DC will have to play their best cricket in the remaining games.
Mumbai Indians need to get back on track after a bump against GT
The Mumbai Indians suffered a setback in their IPL 2025 campaign after a three-wicket loss to the Gujarat Titans in a rain-affected thriller. The defeat halted their winning momentum, exposing vulnerabilities in their batting lineup. Despite a solid 71-run stand between Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav, MI struggled to post a competitive total, managing just 155/8. Their bowlers fought hard, but GT’s calculated chase, aided by rain interruptions and the DLS method, saw MI fall short.
With the playoffs approaching, MI must regroup and address their flaws. Their next matches against Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings will be crucial in securing a top-four finish. Hardik Pandya’s leadership and Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling will be key in turning things around. MI has the firepower to bounce back, but they need to execute their plans flawlessly to stay in contention for the title. Let’s go ahead with cricket tips.
