MI have nine more matches to play, including crucial encounters against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, and Gujarat Titans. Winning at least five or six of these matches is essential to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

Mathematically, MI can still qualify for the playoffs by winning a significant portion of their remaining matches. Aiming for 16 points is ideal, but they might qualify with fewer points if their net run rate improves and other results favor them.

The victory over Delhi Capitals has injected momentum into MI’s campaign, providing a much-needed confidence boost. Hardik Pandya’s emotional reaction underscores the significance of this win in reviving their playoff hopes. The win has also altered the dynamics of the points table, putting pressure on other teams struggling to secure a top-four spot.
