Preview: Mumbai Indians secured a morale-boosting 12-run win against Delhi Capitals in their most recent fixture. Delhi were cruising in their pursuit of a 206-run target. They were placed comfortably at 119/1 in the 11th over. However, a spirited bowling performance from MI at the back end of the innings helped them dismiss the Capitals for 193 in 19 overs. MI have two wins and four defeats in six matches so far in IPL 2025. Karn Sharma stood out in his first game of the season as he picked up a crucial three-for. SRH also have two wins and four defeats from six games this season. However, their net run rate is not as good as that of MI. The Orange Army ended their four-match losing streak last week when they registered a memorable win against Punjab Kings in the last game. SRH chased down a 246-run target in front of their home fans. Abhishek Sharma starred with a staggering 141 off 55 balls, belting 14 fours and 10 sixes.
