What happens if the MI vs DC match is washed away?
A faded competition between MI and DC would significantly stimulate the qualifications of the play-offs of the Hardik Pandya-conducted side. Mumbai is already one point for DC in the point table. In the event that their match against Delhi is washed away, both teams would each get a point. Such a situation would see the count of Mumbai go to 15 points, while Delhis would rise to 14.
Both Mi and DC play their respective Final League matches of the season against Punjab Kings, a franchise that has already qualified for the play -offs. If the MI vs DC match does not produce any results, Delhi would have to rely on the luminaire between PBKS and Mi to understand what fate has in store for them.
If Mi beat PBKs in that match, Delhi would be eliminated from the Playoffs Race, regardless of the result of the match between them and Punjab.
How can the Capitals in Delhi qualify for IPL -Play -offs?
The only way in which Delhi ends in the top four in the case of a faded match against Mumbai is if the side led by Hardik Pandya loses his last game of the season against the kings. That is why DC would hope that their match against Mi has a favorable result, even if a shortened match occurs due to the weather conditions.
