MI vs PBKS Live Score, IPL 2025 Qualifier 2: Mumbai Indians take on resurgent Punjab Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium
MI vs PBKS Live Score, IPL 2025 Qualifier 2: On Sunday night at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, the IPL 2025 journey will come full circle for Punjab Kings. It was here on March 25 that they launched their campaign with a fiery 243/5 and a thrilling win over Gujarat Titans. Now, they return for their most crucial encounter yet: Qualifier 2 against a Mumbai Indians unit operating at full Indians enter the clash on a staggering run of form, with eight wins in their last ten matches. They demolished RCB in the Eliminator and have recaptured their fearsome identity — one fuelled by experience, momentum, and tactical superiority. Led by Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, their batting is peaking. Even Tilak Varma has stepped up after an indifferent season, and temporary overseas additions Jonny Bairstow and Richard Gleeson have made immediate key trump card, however, remains Jasprit Bumrah. With 18 wickets at an economy of just over six, Bumrah's presence transforms Mumbai's bowling attack into an entirely different beast. His four overs are like gold dust, often breaking the back of opposition momentum and causing ripple effects that benefit other Kings, on the other hand, are a spirited, youthful side led by Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting. Despite a hammering at the hands of RCB in Qualifier 1, they've been one of the most fearless teams this season, regularly fielding six uncapped Indians and playing with aggression. Their campaign has been marked by exciting batting performances, particularly from Iyer himself, who scored a magnificent 97 here at Ahmedabad to start the MI have pedigree — five titles and a deep well of big-match experience — PBKS have resilience and hunger. They've beaten Mumbai once this season and know what it takes. Yet, history favours MI in knockout scenarios. Their mindset, according to head coach Mahela Jayawardene, is built on never giving up — a culture forged through years of pitch at Ahmedabad has favoured high scores this season, with 9 of 14 innings crossing the 200-run mark. Batting first might be the preferred choice, and with stars on both sides, fireworks are experience vs. exuberance, power vs. promise — and only one team will move on to the final.

IPL 2025, Qualifier 2: Shreyas vs Bumrah, Rohit vs Arshdeep and more; Key things to watch out for in PBKS vs MI clash
Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians contest the Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League 2025 in Ahmedabad tonight for a place in the final, where they will play the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Tuesday (June 3). Here are the key narratives. Mumbai Indians have won five IPL titles, and all of them came whenever they finished in the top two positions in the league stage. They reached the playoffs on four other occasions by finishing third or fourth in the league stage. They failed to reach the final on all four occasions. Can they break the jinx and make it to their 7th IPL final? On the other hand, Punjab Kings would want to avoid joining one particular list. Delhi Capitals (2009, 2012, and 2021) and Gujarat Lions (2016) were the only two sides to not reach the final despite finishing first in the league stage. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad hosted 5 night games in the league stage, and the toss-winning captain opted to bowl first on all five occasions. Guess what? The toss-winning team lost all five games. Mumbai Indians also have a terrible record in Ahmedabad. Date Toss Bat 1st - Score Bat 2nd - Score Match result March 25 Bowl PBKS - 243/5 GT - 232/5 PBKS won by 11 runs March 29 Bowl GT - 196/8 MI - 160/6 GT won by 36 runs Apr 9 Bowl GT - 217/6 RR - 159 GT won by 58 runs May 2 Bowl GT - 224/6 SRH - 186/6 GT won by 38 runs May 22 Bowl LSG - 235/2 GT - 202/9 LSG won by 33 runs Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya did break away from the norm and opted to bat first this season. Hardik notably did that against Gujarat Titans in the eliminator on Friday. It shouldn't be a surprise if Shreyas or Hardik opts to bowl first. The most decisive moment of Qualifier 1 and Eliminator involved a Mumbai hero. Shreyas Iyer's dismissal off Josh Hazlewood decisively tilted the game in favour of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Qualifier 1 match. Rohit Sharma offered two easy chances to the Gujarat Titans fielders in the eliminator on Friday. He was dropped on 3 and 12 and duly punished the Titans by registering his highest-ever score in IPL playoffs, a superb 81 off 50 balls. Shreyas will be up against Jasprit Bumrah, the best bowler of the tournament. Rohit will be facing Arshdeep Singh, the leading wicket-taker for India in T20Is. Shreyas' experience is vital for the inexperienced batters around him. Dismissing Rohit at the earliest will help Punjab Kings to manage the run rate and add pressure on Suryakumar Yadav. Batter Bowler Innings Runs SR Dismissal Shreyas Iyer Jasprit Bumrah 10 66 132 1 Rohit Sharma Arshdeep Singh 6 28 122 1 Audacious, flamboyant, and outrageous are some of the adjectives used to describe Suryakumar Yadav's batting. The Indian T20 captain added a new word to the dictionary: consistency. 15 matches, 15 consecutive scores in excess of 25. Suryakumar Yadav will most certainly win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award if he manages to hit five boundaries against Punjab Kings. Yuzvendra Chahal is expected to return to the PBKS side after missing the last three matches. Deepak Chahar missed the eliminator for MI, and he remains a doubtful starter for today's game as well. Debutant Richard Gleeson left the field after bowling three balls in the final over of the GT innings in the eliminator. If neither of them is available, England's Reece Topley might get the nod.
