On May 17, IPL 2025 will kick off again after a week break. The first game back will feature Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Kolkata Knight Riders. The league was paused on May 8 due to tensions between India and Pakistan, and there are still 17 matches left. Right now, Gujarat Titans are leading, followed by RCB, PBKS, and MI.
This article focuses on the Mumbai Indians, who are in fourth place with 14 points from 12 matches, and how they can make it to the playoffs.
So, how can Mumbai Indians qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs? They have just two matches left against Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals. If MI wins both games, they’ll end up with 18 points, but their final position will depend on how the top two teams, Gujarat Titans and RCB, perform since they could finish with 22 points.

If Mumbai wins only one of the two games, they’ll end up with 16 points. They need to beat DC and hope Punjab takes down DC too. This way, DC will remain at 15 points, putting MI in fourth place.
If Mumbai wins against Punjab but loses to Delhi, they’ll need DC to beat Punjab in their next match so that Mumbai stays in fourth with 16 points and DC finishes third with 17 points. If Mumbai loses both matches, they’ll be out of the tournament and finish fifth.
