IPL 2025: MI Edge DC in Thriller as Karun Nair’s 89 Goes in Vain After Sudden Delhi Collapse

In a dramatic IPL 2025 clash, Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 12 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Karun Nair’s heroic 89 kept DC in the chase, but a sudden collapse after his dismissal saw them lose three wickets to run-outs. Earlier, Tilak Verma’s 59 helped MI post 205/5. Despite a promising start, DC couldn’t hold on under pressure. With this loss, Delhi’s winning streak ends and there are no unbeaten teams left in the tournament. MI’s balanced performance shone through in both batting and bowling departments. #IPL2025 #DCvsMI #KarunNair #MumbaiIndians #DelhiCapitals #TilakVerma #MIWinThriller #T20Cricket #IPLHighlights #MIvsDC #CricketUpdates #CricketNews #IPLMatchRecap #Nair89 #MIVictory #ArunJaitleyStadium #IndianPremierLeague #RunOutDrama #IPL2025Thriller #ViralCricketMoments ~ED.102~HT.408~
