Can Delhi Capitals retain the 1st position in IPL 2025 points table?
Tabletoppers Delhi Capitals are currently in action against the ninth-placed Mumbai Indians team at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC have won all four matches they have played in the tournament, whereas MI have managed only one victory in five games.
DC captain Axar Patel won the toss and opted to field first at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Kuldeep Yadav's tight spell of 2/23 in four overs has given DC the momentum. It will be interesting to see if the Capitals can defeat the Mumbai Indians.
If DC win the match, they will retain the first position in the IPL 2025 points table. If MI defeat DC by a big margin, Gujarat Titans will move up from the second to the first position in the standings.
