The unbeaten start of Delhi Capitals will see them come up against a wounded Mumbai Indians side in this IPL 2025 fixture on Sunday. This match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium between the second-placed Capitals and the eighth-placed Indians comes with our prediction of a home win.
Delhi have four wins out of four and are second before Friday's match, while Mumbai have one win and four losses, putting them third from the bottom.
A six-wicket win away at Bengaluru on Thursday highlighted the growing strengths of Delhi, as they made it four wins out of four. KL Rahul scored a scintillating 93* to take his seasonal tally to 185 runs (SR 169.72). Concerns still remain over the efficiency of other batterys, but for now they are rolling along.
With the ball too, the combination of Kuldeep Yadav and Mitchell Starc has been deadly, with the duo sharing 17 wickets between them.
Mumbai were beaten by RCB at home last Monday by 12 runs, making it back-to-back defeats by the same margin. With three of their next four matches after this at home, Mumbai will be keen to take some momentum to Wankhede.
Rohit Sharma's lack of runs (38) and the lack of a bowling lynchpin have been troubling Mumbai all season long.

Our Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Prediction
Even for traditional slow starters, the Mumbai Indians, this is a dreadful start. With four defeats out of five, they are loitering around the bottom three slots. The only positive is that their net run rate hasn't taken a beating and is narrowly into the negative. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, are enjoying a dream start, being the only unbeaten side of the season. A first of the two back-to-back games at this home venue could help them continue the momentum. Our Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians prediction is Delhi Capitals wins the match.
