IPL 2025 | Rickelton falls short of fifty as MI lose two wickets against DC

Earlier, DC won the toss and opted to field against MI.

Both teams have had contrasting starts to the season. DC remain the only unbeaten side so far, while MI have struggled, managing just one win from their last five matches.

In a setback for DC, star batter Faf du Plessis has been ruled out of the match due to injury.

MI opener Rohit Sharma will be looking to make an impact with the bat after a quiet start to the season. The spotlight will also be on MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who recently returned from injury.

DC come into the game on the back of a convincing win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where DC’s KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 93. They will be aiming to extend their unbeaten streak.
