Mumbai vs Delhi(MI vs DC) Match-63 IPL 2025 Vision11 Prediction
Mumbai(MI) Performance Prediction
MI have surged to 14 points from 12 matches courtesy of a six-game winning streak under Hardik Pandya’s leadership . Their batting trio of Rohit, Suryakumar and Tilak Varma has flourished, and their bowling spearheaded by Bumrah, Boult and Chahar has been stingy. A victory here would virtually secure a top-four finish, and their home advantage at Wankhede boosts their win probability to 58% in high-scoring T20 contests.
Delhi(DC) Performance Prediction
DC began the season 4–1 but have slipped, losing 3 of their last 5 and now sit on 13 points from 11 games . To reach the playoffs (~17–18 points), they must win at least two of their three remaining matches. Their batting, led by Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul, must rediscover consistency, and their pace attack (Starc, Chameera, Mukesh) needs early wickets on a flat deck to counter MI’s deep batting order.
