Punjab Kings are set to face the five-time champions Mumbai Indians in the second qualifier of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, 31 May 2025.
The Hardik Pandya-led MI are coming after knocking out the Gujarat Titans from the tournament with a victory in the Eliminator. Jasprit Bumrah and Rohit Sharma showed their experience and helped MI win the match.
Earlier, the PBKS lost against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first qualifier and now will have to beat MI to enter the final of the 18th season. They qualified for the playoffs after a nine-year hiatus and will try to book a seat in the final.
Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya will have to give a fine start to the innings, and captain Shreyas Iyer will try to use his bowlers effectively against the MI, which has a formidable batting lineup.
