Mumbai Indians Win Against Delhi Capitals by 12 Runs

In the IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians (MI) triumphed over Delhi Capitals (DC) by 12 runs in a thrilling encounter at Arun Jaitley Stadium. MI, led by a stellar performance from Karn Sharma who took 3 wickets, set a target of 206, with notable contributions from Tilak Varma (59 off 33), Ryan Rickelton (41 off 25), and Suryakumar Yadav (40 off 28). Despite Karun Nair's impressive 89 off 40 balls in his first IPL appearance in three years, DC faltered due to a dramatic collapse, highlighted by three consecutive run-outs in the 19th over. DC captain Axar Patel humorously acknowledged the loss, attributing it to poor shot selections and soft dismissals in the middle order. Meanwhile, Tilak Varma, who was controversially retired out in a previous match, expressed his positivity towards the strategy, citing team interest as the priority. The match marked MI's second win of the season, lifting them to the seventh spot in the standings.
