Stats - MI's season of big wins and DC's record slump

A statistical review after Mumbai Indians (MI) beat Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 63 of the IPL 2025 season, securing both teams' playoff fates.

11 Number of IPL seasons where MI qualified for the playoffs (or semi-finals). They had qualified previously in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2023. Only Chennai Super Kings (CSK) - 12 times - made it to the top four in the IPL more often than MI.

1 DC became the first team in the IPL to not finish in the top four despite starting the season with four successive wins. MI halted DC's four-match winning streak in Delhi, and Wednesday's game against MI at the Wankhede confirmed DC's elimination.

6 of MI's eight wins in IPL 2025 have been by a margin of 40-plus runs or 25-plus balls to spare. These are the joint-most such wins for any team in an IPL season. MI also had six big wins in 2020, including a win in the playoffs.

MI's win against DC was their third by a margin of 50-plus runs in IPL 2025. MI had three such wins in 2010 and 2013, as did the Gujarat Titans (GT) in 2023.

5 Number of times MI have bowled out their opponents in IPL 2025. All other teams combined bundled out their opponents only seven times in this season so far. Only one team bowled their opponents out more times in an IPL season - six by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2024.

7 Matches remaining in the league phase after Wednesday's game, where MI became the fourth team to confirm their spot in the playoffs. This is the earliest that all four playoff spots (semi-finalists) were decided in an IPL season.

The previous earliest was in 2011, where the four playoff spots were decided by the end of the 67th match in a season featuring 70 league games.

13 Consecutive scores of 25-plus for Suryakumar Yadav in IPL 2025, the joint-longest such streak for any batter in men's T20s. He has equalled Temba Bavuma, who also had 13 successive scores of 25-plus runs between 2019 and 2020. Suryakumar already holds the equivalent IPL record, having bettered Robin Uthappa (Ten in 2014).

11 Runs that Mitchell Santner conceded in his four overs on Wednesday, the joint-fewest by a spin bowler in his full quota in an IPL match at the Wankhede Stadium. Only three bowlers have ever conceded fewer runs in their four overs in an IPL game at this venue.

48 Runs that MI scored in the last two overs of their innings. Only once did they score more across the 19th and 20th overs of an IPL innings - 51 runs, also against DC at Wankhede in 2024. ESPNCricinfo's forecaster, at the end of the 18th over, predicted MI to finish on 156, expecting 24 further runs in the last two overs.
