Assist the scenarios in the IPL 2025 playoffs for Mumbai Indians (Mi). Hhelik Pandya and Mahela Jayawerdene have a steep task in front.
Mumbai Indians (Mi) probably have the best team on Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. A shot unit full of power followed by the best stimulator in the world and a white genius ball spinner. Without forgetting, four international captains to help the leader, Hhelik Pandya. However, despite all this, they find themselves in the logjam in the middle of the table IPL 2025. How can MI qualify for the IPL 2025 eliminatory series? Discuss below.
Mi to IPL 2025 so far …
Mumbai’s tradition of not having won in its first game of an IPL continued when the Super Kings of Chennai (CSK) exceeded them in Chennai. Then, Mi again stammered in Ahmedabad before finally tasting success when they crossed Kkr to Wankhede. But then, two consecutive defeats of 12 points against LSG and RCB, respectively. Mumbai, who was formerly presented as the best hunting team, did not find the right formula to track down the totals.
But now things have been put in place for the five times champions. They recorded a victory compared to the victory of the house compared to the Capitals of Delhi by team before humoring Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during their last outing. Now MI has won three victories, not ideal, but enough to keep them in the running.
Mi to IPL 2025: last 7 games, at least 5 optimal victories
As of April 15, Mumbai Indians were among three teams that finished 7 of their 14 group games. They are seated on 6 points with a record of victories of 3-4 and are currently placed seventh on Table IPL 2025. Their situation is not ideal, but it is far from hopeless.
Traditionally, 16 points is the benchmark for the qualification of the playoffs in IPL. Mumbai Indians, 6 points of 7 gameswill have to win at least 5 of their 7 remaining games To perhaps qualify automatically for the playoffs.
IPL 2025 matches remaining for Mumbai Indians
| Date | Match | Place |
|---|---|---|
| April 20 | Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings | Mumbai |
| April 23 | Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians | Hyderabad |
| April 27 | Mumbai Indians VS Lucknow Super Giants | Mumbai |

| May 6 | Mumbai Indians vs titans of Gujarat | Mumbai |

It is a mixed bag. MI still has home matches, which is a huge advantage. And the good news is that they face three of the four current teams of four lower: CSK, RR and SRH – all the parts they have beaten or can feel confident against.
The biggest challenges will be GT, PBKS and LSG, three teams currently in the upper half. Beating one or two of them is essential. Mi also ends their home season against Delhi’s capital, which have been among the best teams this season. But a last match at the Wankhede, especially if the qualification is at stake, could bring out the best.
Here is how the MI path to the playoffs forms:
| Wins in the last 7 games | Total victories | Points | Qualification of the playoffs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 10 | 20 | TOP 2 Guaranteed |
| 6 | 9 | 18 | Guaranteed top 4 (maybe the top 2) |
| 5 | 8 | 16 | Top 4 problem |
| 4 or less | ≤7 | ≤14 | Maybe, maybe not |
