Mumbai Indians Playoff Qualification Scenarios: Mumbai Indians suffered a crucial three-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium, putting their IPL 2025 playoff hopes under pressure. The defeat leaves MI with 14 points from 12 games, with two matches left in the league stage. Despite the setback, Mumbai Indians remain in the hunt for a playoff spot. They need to win at least one of their remaining two fixtures to reach 16 points, the benchmark widely seen as enough to secure qualification in most IPL seasons.
MI’s healthy Net Run Rate (NRR) gives them an added edge in tight scenarios. A single win could be sufficient to reach the top four, depending on the outcomes of other teams' matches. However, two wins will guarantee a spot in the playoffs and potentially a place in the top two.

If Mumbai lose both of their remaining games, their qualification will depend entirely on NRR and other match results. In that case, their chances will become slim.
MI's Remaining Matches:
Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Sunday, 11 May
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, 16 May
Mumbai’s fate now lies in their hands as they prepare for two must-win encounters to stay alive in the tournament.
