Punjab Kings will face Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) at the Narendra Modi Stadium Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 1.
For Punjab, who finished at the top of the table in the league stage, this is their shot at redemption after being outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Qualifier 1. For Mumbai, it is about continuing their late-season surge, having seen off Gujarat Titans (GT) in a tense Eliminator just days ago.
PBKS vs MI Match Preview
PBKS have been among the most balanced sides this season. Led by Shreyas Iyer, the side has not lost two consecutive matches in IPL 2025. This shows how consistent they have been.

However, RCB’s bowling exposed a few cracks in their batting unit. In the Qualifier 1, the Punjab Kings batters failed miserably as the team got bundled out at just 101 runs in Mullanpur. RCB chased the target in just 10 overs.
The good thing for Punjab is they now know what not to do. It is a do-or-die game for them and they cannot afford another batting failure. For them, Prabhsimran Singh has been the leading run-scorer this season with 517 runs. Arshdeep Singh has been their star bowler, having taken 18 wickets so far in IPL 2025.
Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, have found form at just the right time. They defeated Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator by 20 runs. Opting to bat first, MI posted a total of 228 runs, thanks to Rohit Sharma's 81 runs off 50 balls. They then restricted GT to 208/6, courtesy Jasprit Bumrah's 1-27.
What makes this clash even more intriguing is their recent meeting earlier in the season. PBKS chased down 185 runs against MI and denied them a top-two finish, showing they can handle pressure.
PBKS vs MI Head-to-Head
MI hold a slight edge over PBKS in head-to-head encounters. They have 17 wins over PBKS, who also have won 16 out of 33 matches against MI. Notably, PBKS defeated MI in their only league stage match of IPL 2025, chasing down a target of 185 runs with seven wickets to spare in Jaipur.
