NEW DELHI, April 13 In a thrilling encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Mumbai Indians (MI) finally broke their losing streak in the IPL 2025 season by defeating Delhi Capitals (DC) by 12 runs, thanks to a sensational hat-trick of run-outs in the 19th over. Mumbai posted a competitive 205-run total, and despite a strong fightback from Delhi, the match turned dramatically in Mumbai’s favor during the death overs.
