With final playoff spot on line, Mumbai meet Delhi in must-win clash
Gulf Today
|May 21, 2025
Considering the start they made to the Indian Premier League (IPL] 2025, not many people would have imagined Mumbai Indians (MI) would be taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) in a must-win clash for the final playoff spot at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.
-
Delhi Capitals got off to a 4-O winning spree while Mumbai Indians won only one in five matches and were at the opposite ends of the points table.
So, here they are gearing up to face off for the fourth and final spot in the playoffs to join Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final four for the knockout stages of the IPL 2095.
After that horrible start, the Mumbai Indians have made a grand comeback, fighting their way back to the top of the table at one time with a six-match unbeaten run. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, went off the boil losing three matches, while a no result against Sunrisers Hyderabad did not help matters much.
Mumbai Indians are in fourth spot in the points table with 14 points from 12 matches, while Delhi Capitals have 13 points from as many matches. Both teams have one match more to play against Punjab Kings, but winning Wednesday's match will ensure MI a playoff spot while Delhi need to win both their matches to reach the knockouts.

Bessie Badilla advocates for indigenous fashion
A top Filipina model for nearly five decades whose first visit to the UAE was in 1981 for the “Aureo Alonzo Fiesta Filipina World Tour Group” in Dubai, and who cat-walked for Michael Cinco at the “Dubai Fashion Week 2023,” has said that fashion from her home country has been at par with the world’s best. Bessie Badilla, whose accidental entry into the glitterati of haute couture happened, when Manila hosted the 1976 “International Monetary Fund-World Bank Annual Meeting” at the then newly-opened Philippine International Convention Centre, also said that the intensifying interest-cum-awareness of even the Filipino youth concerning their indigenous fibres and artisanship would strongly impact on the so-called colonial mentality which historians from decades back had imaginatively labelled as “300 years inside the convent (Spain) and 48 years in Hollywood (USA).
