Match Overview
The red-hot Delhi Capitals (DC) host the struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 29 of the IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, April 13 at 7:30 PM IST.
Axar Patel’s DC side is the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far, sitting second on the table with four wins in four games. After playing two of their “home” fixtures in Visakhapatnam, this will be their first match of the season at their actual home ground, and they’ll be looking to continue their dream run in front of their home crowd.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are in a familiar early-season slump with just one win in five matches. But as five-time champions, MI have made comebacks before. A win here could reignite their campaign, but they’ll need to overcome a confident and in-form Delhi outfit.

Pitch & Conditions – What to Expect in Delhi
The Arun Jaitley Stadium has transformed into a batting paradise in recent years. The surface now favors high scores, with totals in excess of 200 becoming common. Batting first has proven to be a strong tactic on this track, and with clear weather expected, both captains may lean towards putting runs on the board.
Predicted Playing XIs

Faf du Plessis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul (WK), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (C), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar

Key Players to Watch
KL Rahul (DC):
Rahul’s unbeaten 93* in the previous match against RCB showcased his elite temperament and form. With a rock-solid presence in the middle order, he’ll be key once again for DC, especially on a surface where strokeplay is rewarded.
Trent Boult (MI):
Boult has taken 15 wickets in 11 matches against Delhi, making him a proven threat with the new ball. His ability to strike early could disrupt DC’s top order and set the tone for MI’s bowling effort.
Today’s Match Prediction by CricketBettingTips.com
With the Delhi surface offering excellent value for stroke play, the team batting first is expected to have the advantage. If DC bat first and post a strong total, their bowling unit could tighten the screws. However, don’t count MI out—they’ve staged turnarounds before.
