IPL 2025: Can MI Finish in Top-2? Something like this is becoming equation
How Can Mi Finish in Top 2: In the 63rd match of IPL 2025 played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 59 runs. With this victory, Mumbai has made it to the playoffs. The five -time champion entered the playoffs for the 11th time in his IPL history. Along with this, Mi also has a great opportunity to take advantage of two opportunities to make it to the top two and make it to the finals.
However, to do this, many things must be in their favor. MI is currently in fourth place in the points table with eight wins in 13 matches and has 16 points in his name. His last match is against Punjab Kings at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on 26 May. If Mi wins his last match, it will have 18 points. However, it will not be enough to deliver them alone to the top two.
Mumbai Indians will have to overtake the top three teams Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings. The last two matches of Gujarat, which are currently at the top with 18 points, are against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). On the other hand, RCB is in second place with 17 points and the rest of its matches are against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and LSG.
Meanwhile, the last two matches of Punjab Kings, which ranks third with 17 points, are against DC and Mi. To get into the top two, Mi will have to lose the rest of their matches of RCB, GT and PBKS and win their last match against PBKS. In such a situation, the Mi will be able to defeat two teams based on the net run rate or points, which will clear their way to make a place in the top two.

1. GT (22 digits) 2. Mi (18 digits) 3. RCB (17 digits) 4. PBKS (17 digits)
Second equation: if GT and RCB lose both their matches
1. pbks (19 digits) 2. Mi (18 digits) 3. GT (18 digits) 4. RCB (17 digits)
Third equation: If PBKS and GT lose both their matches
1. RCB (21 digits), 2. Mi (18 digits) 3. GT (18 digits) 4. PBKS (17 digits).
