Mumbai weather report: Who qualifies for playoffs if MI vs DC gets washed out at Wankhede?

As Mumbai Indians (MI) prepare to face Delhi Capitals (DC) in their final league match of IPL 2025 at Wankhede Stadium, all eyes are on the weather, which could have a crucial impact on the game’s outcome.

With both teams having had underwhelming seasons, this match is mainly about finishing on a positive note. However, rain looms as a potential disruptor, with overcast skies expected and a high chance of showers during the evening.

The weather forecast indicates temperatures ranging between 29 and 32 degrees Celsius with humidity around 80%, which is typical for Mumbai in late May. Winds are expected to be moderate, but rain spells could interrupt play or even shorten the match duration.

Wankhede Stadium has historically favored chasing sides, and if the rain reduces overs, winning the toss might become even more important. Teams are likely to prefer chasing to adjust targets based on the Duckworth-Lewis method if needed.

Ground staff are on high alert, and fans will be hoping for uninterrupted action as the tournament edges closer to the playoffs.
