MI vs DC IPL 2025 Match Shift : Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has requested to move the IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals from Wankhede Stadium because heavy rain is being forecast here.
This is a playoff-deciding game, and it is going to be very important for both teams. Mumbai Indians have 14 points and Delhi has 13 points right now.
In this article, we have shared Jindal’s request and the issues with you, and if this match is not shifted and it rains in today’s match, then what will happen has also been told, so let’s start this article.
MI vs DC IPL 2025 Match Shift
A letter has been sent by Jindal, and he has called the game between Mumbai and Delhi a virtual quarter-final because it is obvious that it can be cancelled due to rain.
A yellow alert has been given by IMD for Mumbai, and it is producing heavy showers, with 80% chances of rain during the day and 50% chances at night.
Jindal has also mentioned that the match between RCB and Hyderabad was shifted from Bengaluru to Lucknow due to bad weather, and here also he wants the same decision to be implemented because everyone is aware of the heavy showers in Mumbai for the last 6 days, and that is why a new venue is being requested.
Rain Threat at Wankhede
On 20 May 2025, Mumbai is receiving heavy rains and Delhi’s practice has also been stopped, while Mumbai Indians had completed their practice.
Wankhede’s poor drainage system and sand-based outfield make the match difficult. After the shower, it has been found through the IMD forecast that thunderstorms and lightning are also going to happen, and there are 50% chances of rain at night.
The new 120-minute extra rule of IPL can help, but a washout is still possible. If a washout happens, both teams will get one point each, and after that, Mumbai will have 15 points and Delhi will have 14.
Impact On Playoffs
Mumbai is currently on 14 points, and Delhi Capitals are in the fifth position in the points table. Mumbai can secure its playoff spot with a victory.
Delhi has 13 points and needs a win to stay alive. A washout will keep both in the playoff race, but Mumbai will be in a more favourable position as they need only one win.
To qualify against Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals will have to beat Punjab and hope for Mumbai’s defeat – only then will they be able to move forward.

Fan and Team Reactions
Fans are supporting Jindal’s call a lot and demanding fairness. It is essential to have a fair game, and if the venue is shifted, then it will be a smart move.
On the other hand, some people are apprehensive about the weather in Mumbai as lightning and rain often occur together. Mumbai’s coach also hopes that the match is saved by the extra time rule, and experts also say that it is necessary to shift it.
BCCI on MI vs DC IPL 2025 Match Shift
BCCI has not confirmed any venue change yet, and if this match is moved, then Lucknow or Ahmedabad are the options.
The aim of IPL is to avoid washouts because IPL had not resumed for a long time and was suspended earlier, due to which a lot of delay is happening. What happens now will be known in a short while today.
