Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has hosted a total of 122 T20 matches. Of these, teams batting first have won 56 matches, while teams chasing have emerged victorious in 66 games
Mumbai Indians (MI) will host Delhi Capitals (DC) at Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, May 21, in Match 63 of IPL 2025 — a clash crucial to both teams’ playoff hopes. A win for MI secures their playoff berth alongside RCB, GT, and PBKS. A loss, however, would mean MI must win their final game and hope DC lose theirs to stay in contention. For DC, the stakes are higher — a defeat will officially knock them out of playoff contention, making them the sixth team to exit the tournament. But a win keeps them alive; they’ll then just need to beat PBKS in their final game. If PBKS later defeat MI, DC can qualify with 15 points. With high pressure and playoff drama looming, this contest promises intense cricketing action.

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai: Pitch report for MI vs DC, IPL 2025
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is traditionally batting-friendly, promising plenty of runs in the upcoming game. However, fast bowlers who hit the right lengths — especially in the powerplay — can extract early movement, as pacers have done in recent times. Dew is expected to play a role in the latter stages, making bowling second trickier. As a result, the toss-winning captain is likely to opt to bowl first. Teams will also have the option to change the ball if grip becomes an issue.
