IPL 2025 Qualifier 2: Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians

Punjab will come into this do-or-die clash with mixed momentum. Despite a strong group-stage performance, their eight-wicket drubbing at the hands of Bengaluru in Qualifier 1 exposed some key vulnerabilities, especially under pressure. The crushing defeat may have dented their morale, but with a chance to reach their first-ever IPL final, PBKS have everything to play for.

On the other hand, Mumbai will arrive with renewed purpose after delivering a commanding performance in the Eliminator. They knocked out title favourites Gujarat Titans with a clinical 20-run victory, signaling their intent to add a sixth IPL title to their trophy cabinet. Hardik Pandya’s men appear to have hit their stride at just the right moment, with momentum, experience, and big-match temperament firmly on their side. With one team aiming to break new ground and the other chasing legacy, Qualifier 2 promises to be a fiercely contested battle with everything on the line.

Over the course of 32 IPL encounters, Mumbai hold a slender advantage with 17 victories, while Punjab are close behind with 15 wins, a testament to the competitive nature of this rivalry.
