The Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals timeline starts on 4 May 2008 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, where MI won by 29 runs. It runs to 4 April 2026, when Sameer Rizvi’s 90 took Delhi home with 11 balls to spare.
That’s 38 IPL matches over 19 seasons. Mumbai lead 21-17, with no tie and no washout.
The two franchises have lived very different lives. Mumbai have won 5 titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020). Delhi, the Daredevils until they became the Capitals for 2019, have none, and their only final came in 2020 against Mumbai.
Mumbai won that final. Of course they did.
People keep watching this fixture because it won’t sit still. MI beat Delhi by 146 runs in 2017 and bowled them out for 66. In 2024 the same fixture produced 504 runs in one night at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
All numbers in this guide are IPL-only and run through 4 April 2026, the most recent meeting.

Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals timeline: year-wise match history
2008 to 2011: Mumbai pull ahead (MI 5, DC 3)
Delhi won the second meeting ever. On 24 May 2008 at the Kotla, Dinesh Karthik’s 56 not out chased down 177 with one ball left.
Delhi then swept 2009 in South Africa, at East London and Centurion. After that it was all Mumbai. They won all 4 games in 2010 and 2011, including a 98-run win with Sachin Tendulkar’s 63 off 32 and Lasith Malinga’s 5/13 in 2011.
2012 to April 2019: Delhi turn it around (DC 9, MI 7)
This is Delhi’s best stretch. In April 2012 they bowled MI out for 92 at the Wankhede and chased 93 in 14.5 overs. Eleven days later Virender Sehwag made 73 off 39 in a 37-run win.
Sehwag was back in 2013 with 95 not out off 57 balls, a 9-wicket chase of 161 in 17 overs. In 2018 Jason Roy hit 91 not out to chase 195 at the Wankhede, and in March 2019 Rishabh Pant smashed 78 not out off 27.
Mumbai still had their moments. Krunal Pandya made 86 and took 2/15 in an 80-run win at Visakhapatnam in 2016, and the 146-run demolition came in 2017.
2020 to 2026: Mumbai’s run, then Delhi’s answer (MI 9, DC 5)
MI won all 4 meetings in 2020, the last one the final. That made 5 wins in a row against Delhi.
Delhi hit back with 3 straight: both games in 2021 and the opener of 2022. Mumbai took the next 3 (May 2022, 2023, April 2024), Delhi won the 257-run shootout later in 2024, and MI won both games in 2025. Delhi took 2026.
Season by season in one line
Mumbai won every meeting in 6 seasons (2010, 2011, 2017, 2020, 2023, 2025). Delhi did it in 5 (2009, 2012, 2018, 2021, 2026). The other 8 seasons were split 1-1.
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals timeline of memorable matches
Closest finishes. On 11 April 2023 MI chased 173 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and got there off the final ball, with Rohit Sharma’s 65 off 45 as the base. Delhi’s 2008 chase of 177 ended with a ball to spare.
On runs, Delhi won by 10 in 2016 and 2024, and by 11 in 2018. Mumbai won by 12 in 2025, 14 in 2017 and 15 in 2014.
High-scoring nights. On 27 April 2024, Delhi made 257/4 and MI replied with 247/9. That’s 504 runs. Jake Fraser-McGurk hit 84 off 27 balls and Tilak Varma made 63 for MI in a losing cause.
Three weeks earlier MI had posted 234/5 at the Wankhede, helped by Romario Shepherd’s 39 not out off 10 balls. Mumbai’s 218/7 in 2010 and Delhi’s 213/6 in 2019 are the next biggest totals.
Bowling that broke games. Lasith Malinga’s 5/13 in April 2011 is the best spell in the fixture. Delhi were all out for 95 and MI chased 96 in 16.5 overs.
Jasprit Bumrah took 4/14 in the 2020 qualifier. Karn Sharma took 3/11 as Delhi folded for 66 in 2017. Mitchell Santner took 3/11 in May 2025.
Matches that moved the season. On 21 May 2022 MI beat Delhi at the Wankhede, and Delhi’s playoff hopes went with it. Three years later, also on 21 May and also at the Wankhede, Mumbai won by 59 runs and Delhi went out again.
The biggest one is the 2020 final. It gets its own section below.

Mumbai. They lead 21-17, hold the only playoff wins (2-0) and own the trophy from 2020.
The gap is small, though. Here’s how the two sides compare:
- Batting. MI average 168.05 runs per innings against Delhi’s 153.74. Mumbai lose 6.32 wickets an innings and Delhi 6.5.
- Chasing. Delhi have 11 wins chasing to Mumbai’s 7. MI win by setting totals (14 to 6).
- Close games. In the 6 matches decided by 15 runs or fewer, the split is 3-3.
- Home advantage. MI are 10-4 in Mumbai. Delhi are 8-6 in Delhi. Neutral venues are 5-5.
- Recent form. The last 10 meetings are 5-5. Since 2020 it’s MI 9, DC 5, and the 2020 run of 4 wins explains most of that.
The batting numbers favour Mumbai because of the 2010, 2017 and 2020 blowouts. Delhi’s 17 wins are mostly chases.
