While it began with a drizzle, the rain intensified for a while. A second and a more extended period of rain then delayed the proceedings just when it looked like the play would get underway. Despite showers delaying the start of the match by almost two hours, the BCCI informed that no overs were lost when the game resumed at 9:45 PM.

MI steady innings after early blow against PBKS in Qualifier 2
Earlier, PBKS won the toss and opted to bowl against MI. 'We've recovered pretty well. Everyone is in high spirits. Environment is top notch. Chahal back,' said PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer following the toss. 'We would have bowled as well. It [the pitch] has gotten flatter over the last couple of years. Playing a crucial game after a one day break is tough. Reece Topley replaces Richard Gleeson,' MI captain Hardik Pandya said. The winner of this clash will claim a place in the IPL 2025 final, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) await. However, just as the players and umpires walked out for an on-time start, the rain arrived yet again, forcing everyone back off the field. The covers came on for the second time, and the start has been delayed. Earlier, a light drizzle in Ahmedabad had prompted the ground staff to cover the entire square. But with five minutes to go for the scheduled start, the covers began to come off, raising hopes of a timely start, until the weather intervened again.
