Punjab Kings look all sorted and raring to Finish Among the Top 2
Punjab Kings are firmly in contention for a top-two finish, displaying the kind of consistency that makes them serious title contenders. Their balance between aggressive batting and disciplined bowling has set them apart this season. Players like Shreyas Iyer, Prabhsimran Singh, and Shashank Singh have been instrumental in the team’s success, with the batting lineup regularly posting competitive totals. Meanwhile, the bowling attack, led by Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh, has kept opponents in check, ensuring PBKS stays dominant across different conditions.
However, their last encounter against Delhi Capitals at this very venue, which they lost by 6 wickets, denied them a chance to solidify their position in the top two, a game before. Despite a setback in their last game, they still sit comfortably in second place on the points table and have a chance of finishing among the top two with a win here.
They need just one more win to confirm their playoff qualification, and their strong Net Run Rate (NRR) puts them in a favorable position compared to other contenders. With momentum on their side, Punjab Kings now aim to finish the league stage on a high and push for a top-two spot, which would grant them direct entry into Qualifier 1.
Mumbai Indians need to get their winning momentum back
Mumbai Indians (MI) are on the brink of securing a top-two finish in IPL 2025 after a dominant 59-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium. This win not only confirmed their playoff berth but also kept their hopes alive for a direct Qualifier 1 spot.
Led by Hardik Pandya, MI have staged a remarkable comeback, winning seven of their last eight matches. Their batting, powered by Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 73, has been firing at the right time, while Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult have been lethal with the ball.
With 16 points from 13 matches, MI now face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their final league game. A win could propel them to 18 points, which would be enough for them to finish among the top 2. Mumbai Indians will fancy their chances of winning this encounter.
