DC 6/1 (1)

DC 0/1 (0.1)

DC vs MI Live: Is Mumbai Indians’ total good enough?

“It was a bit sticky upfront, lucky to get a few away. We’ve got a competitive score on the board now. Nice to get a bit of confidence to get going. Hopefully our bowlers can stick at it and defend it. Hopefully it doesn’t change too much, there isn’t much dew, it should only get slower and lower. We need to target the stumps and target both edges. Bumrah is obviously a world class player, great to have him back. Little nervous to keep to him with the pace and swing,” said Ryan Rickelton at innings break.

DC vs MI Live: Mumbai Indians post 205 for 5!

11 runs came off Mukesh Kumar’s final over. Mumbai Indians have got a 200-plus total on the board. This pitch looks good to bat on, but given MI’s solid bowling attack, Delhi Capitals need to start well in the chase.

MI 205/5 (20)

DC vs MI Live: OUT!

19.4 – That is the end of Tilak Varma’s knock. He departs after scoring 59 off 33 balls. He played a slog-sweep but found the fielder there at deep mid-wicket. Mukesh Kumar gets a wicket.

DC vs MI Live: SIX!

That is a fantastic shot from Naman Dhir for a six. He went across the stumps and slammed the full toss from Mohit Sharma for a six over the long-leg. 14 runs came off the eventful over from Mohit. Last over coming up. MI should go past 200.

MI 194/4 (19)

DC vs MI Live: A collison!

Ashutosh Sharma and Mukesh Kumar collided with each other while trying to go for a catch inside the circle in between the short third man and backward point. Both of them have now been taken out of the ground after attending by the physio.

MI 184/4 (18.2)

DC vs MI Live: FOUR!

A fuller ball outside off stump from Mitchell Starc and Tilak Varma threw is bat to it. The ball went fine to the third man fence for a four. It was a really expensive over from Starc as he leaked 13 runs in it. Naman Dhir had slammed consecutive fours in it.

MI 180/4 (18)

DC vs MI Live: Good review!

Tilak Varma raced to his fifty in the over before a good review saved him. A fuller ball from Mohit Sharma hit the pad of Tilak. Umpire raised his finger over the LBW appeal but Tilak decided to go upstairs. Ball-tracking revealed that it was pitched outside leg stump.

MI 167/4 (17)

DC vs MI Live: What an spell from Kuldeep!

Kuldeep Yadav ends his quota of four overs with figures of 2 for 23. On a good batting track, this is a superb spell from Kuldeep. He kept all the Mumbai Indians batter in check and even dismissed set batters Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav.

MI 154/4 (16)

DC vs MI Live: Good bowling!

Vipraj Nigam gives just 8 runs in his final over and picks a wicket. He has returned figures of 2 for 41 in his quota of four overs. Delhi Capitals have managed to pull things back in the past couple of overs from Kuldeep and Vipraj. Mumbai Indians’ hopes rely on set batter Tilak Varma.

MI 146/4 (15)

DC vs MI Live: WICKET!

Hardik Pandya is gone! Vipraj Nigam gets the wicket and Mumbai Indians are now losing the plot. They have lost two wickets in quick succession here. Both Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik are back to the hut in span of just 7 balls.

MI 138/4 (14.1)

DC vs MI Live: OUT!

Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Suryakumar Yadav on the first ball of his third over. Suryakumar danced down the track but ended up hitting the delivery into the hands of the fielder at long-off. He departed for 40 off 28 balls.

MI 138/3 (14)

DC vs MI Live: Catch dropped!

12.4 – Vipraj Nigam trapped Tilak Varma as the batter ended up hitting the ball high in the air but a miscommunication between the fielders at long-on and deep mid-wicket saw the catch getting dropped eventually. 

MI 135/2 (13)

DC vs MI Live: SIX!

Wow! That is a stunning shot from Tilak Varma for a six. The southpaw slammed it down the ground over the bowler’s head for a biggie. 14 runs came off the over. Mumbai Indians are going well in this game.

MI 118/2 (12)

DC vs MI Live: Impressive from Kuldeep!

Kuldeep Yadav is bowling really well. He conceded only 6 runs in his second over. He even troubled an experienced batter like Suryakumar Yadav in the over. Both Tilak Varma and SKY were really cautious in their batting approach against the spinner.

MI 94/2 (10)

DC vs MI Live: Timeout!

9 runs came off Axar Patel’s first over. Mumbai Indians are off to a good start but Delhi Capitals have still kept the team in check.

MI 88/2 (9)

DC vs MI Live: What a ball!

That was a sensational delivery from Kuldeep Yadav to get rid of Ryan Rickelton! It was a perfect wrong’un from the left-arm wrist spinner. Rickelton failed to read and was simply outplayed. The southpaw fell for 41 off 25 balls.

MI 75/2 (7.4)

DC vs MI Live: Expensive over from Vipraj!

Vipraj Nigam has leaked 14 runs in his second over. Suryakumar Yadav started the over with a four before Ryan Rickelton slammed the fifth ball for a six. Mumbai Indians’ scoring rate is over 10. Not a bad start for the side!

MI 73/1 (7)

DC vs MI Live: End of powerplay!

Mumbai Indians have got off to an impressive start in this game. They have lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma, but set batter Ryan Rickelton and newcomer Suryakumar Yadav are looking in really good touch.

MI 59/1 (6)

DC vs MI Live: OUT!

Rohit Sharma is gone! That is a brilliant review from Delhi Capitals. It was legbreak from Vipraj Nigam and Rohit Sharma went for a slog-sweep. He missed it completely but umpire was unconvinced. Vipraj was however confident and so was his captain Axar Patel. They went upstairs and ball tracking revealed it would have hit the leg stump.

MI 47/1 (5)

DC vs MI Live: FOUR!

Wow! That is a beautiful cover drive from Ryan Rickelton for a four. Mukesh Kumar pitched it up outside off stump and Rickelton drove it through extra cover for the boundary. The southpaw is looking in great touch tonight.

MI 45/0 (4)

DC vs MI Live: Runs! Runs! Runs!

Be it through the edges or right through the middle of the bat, runs keep coming for Mumbai Indinas. Mitchell Starc has leaked 19 in his second over. He has conceded a total of 30 runs so far in his two overs. Expensive spell! 

MI 39/0 (3)

DC vs MI Live: Good start from Rickelton!

Ryan Rickelton slammed Mukesh Kumar for a six in the over that fetched a total of 11 runs for Mumbai Indians. The ball is coming nicely to the bat. Get ready to witness a high-scoring thriller tonight!

MI 20/0 (2)

DC vs MI Live: Expensive over!

An expensive start this is for Mitchell Starc. He has leaked 11 runs in his first over. The left-arm pacer could not keep it tight and Ryan Rickelton ended up slamming him for two consecutive fours.

MI 11/0 (1)

DC vs MI Live: FOUR!

Ryan Rickelton is off the mark with a four. It was a fuller ball from Mitchell Starc on the pads of the southpaw and he flicked it through the cow corner for a boundary. This pitch looks really good to bat on. That is what the early signs suggest.

MI 5/0 (0.3)

DC vs MI Live: Focus on Rohit Sharma!

With just 38 runs to his name across four matches, Rohit Sharma has had a poor start to Indian Premier League 2025. Can he change his fortune in this game? Mumbai Indians badly need a fiery start from their ex-captain as the team has also struggled in the ongoing season.

DC vs MI Live: A look at impact subs –

Delhi Capitals: Darshan Nalkande, Karun Nair, Sameer Rizvi, Donovan Ferreira, Dushmantha Chameera

Mumbai Indians: Corbin Bosch, Robin Minz, Ashwani Kumar, Raj Bawa, Karn Sharma

DC vs MI Live: Here are the Playing XIs –

Delhi Capitals: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, KL Rahul(w), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel(c), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton(w), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah

DC vs MI Live: MI are unchanged!

“Conversations are about where we are making mistakes. There’s no lack of experience in this group. We’re not far from having a good game. We’re trying not to hit the panic button. Panicking doesn’t help. We don’t have much margin of error, hope everything comes good tonight. Same team,” said Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya.

DC vs MI Live: Faf is injured, informs Axar

“We’ll bowl first. We’re chasing well, and it’s the first match over here this season so don’t know how the pitch will play. Don’t trust numbers from the past too much. Challenge is to follow the plan properly and to be brave even if you get hit for a six. Faf is injured,” said Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel.

DC vs MI Live: Delhi Capitals opt to bowl!

Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has won the toss and opted to bowl first against Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2025 match at Arun Jaitely Stadium.

DC vs MI Live: ‘Pitch’ing it right

It will be Delhi Capitals’ first game at home this season. They have played two matches at Visakhapatnam which is a “second home” for the franchise because co-owners GMR have business interest in the region.

The tracks at Kotla have undergone a sea change in last couple of seasons with plenty of runs on offer. The current DC team management, comprising head coach Hemang Badani and Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao, would probably won’t want such a pitch.

It can’t be confirmed whether the coaching staff has requested for a slightly tacky track where the ball grips, making it a low-scoring affair.

DC vs MI Live: The Bumrah Factor

A fit-again Bumrah didn’t look rusty in his first game in three months. The home top-order would have a slightly difficult challenge is terms of quality as to what they have faced till now. The Bumrah vs Rahul will be a mouth-watering contest where a supreme artist will try to outwit a technician par excellence with a wide range of strokes in his repertoire.

DC vs MI Live: A look at MI’s weakness –

For MI, the failure of Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma and vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav has proved to be a huge issue. While Tilak and Surya have enjoyed some sporadic success, they haven’t been authoritative.

DC vs MI Live: Task cut out for Rohit

Against MI, Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel might once again open the bowling against Rohit Sharma, who doesn’t enjoy a match-up against left-arm spinners or wrist spinners. If Axar brings himself on first up or gives the ball to either Kuldeep or Vipraj, it would be an interesting battle on watch.

At the same time, Rohit has enjoyed a degree of success against Mitchell Starc and what the Australian has up his sleeves will be there for everyone to see.

DC vs MI Live: Impressive from Vipraj

Vipraj Nigam, a fine all-rounder in the making, has five wickets at an economy rate of a shade over 8 while skipper Axar Patel has so far gone wicketless. The DC captain will aim to get his name in the wickets tally.

DC vs MI Live: Kuldeep in good form

Kuldeep Yadav, whom former Australian skipper Michael Clarke, termed as the best bowler in the tournament so far, has finished his quota in all games, taking 8 wickets at a brilliant economy rate of less than six runs per over.

DC vs MI Live: Rohit faces DC’s spin challenge

In times of crisis, fans expect their much-loved stars to put their hand up and contribute handsomely and Rohit Sharma needs to come out all guns blazing. He has managed only 38 runs in four matches he has played so far. But it would be easier said than done against a Delhi attack, that has the best-performing spin unit led by skipper Axar Patel. There is peerless Kuldeep Yadav, who is ably supported by rookie Vipraj Nigam.

DC vs MI Live: Mumbai Indians’ poor run

In IPL, just one defeat can make or break momentum and Mumbai Indians are on the cusp of having another nightmarish season after finishing at the bottom of the table in the last edition. The team has performed poorly in IPL 2025 so far, barring their match vs KKR at home.
