Yuzvendra Chahal celebrates the dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav,(AP Photo/Ajit Solanki) A huge roar erupted from the Punjab Kings’ dugout and stands as Yuzvendra Chahal dismissed the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav during the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 clash at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Among those celebrating were RJ Mahvash and franchise co-owner Preity Zinta, visibly ecstatic as PBKS struck a major blow in a high-pressure contest. Suryakumar, Mumbai Indians’ batting mainstay this season, looked in sublime touch once again before falling for 44 off 26 balls. He had earlier hit Chahal for two sixes in the match before the leg-spinner had the last laugh. With this dismissal, the Surya vs Chahal battle in IPL now reads: 13 innings, 88 balls, 116 runs, four dismissals at an average of 29 and a strike rate of 131.81. Not dominant, but not a walkover either. Coming into the match, Surya had already amassed 673 runs in 15 innings at an average of 67.30, striking at 167.83. His wicket tilted momentum slightly in PBKS’s favour as they looked to restrict MI to a chaseable total.Punjab Kings had earlier won the toss and opted to bowl first under cloudy skies in Ahmedabad. The decision reaped early rewards as Rohit Sharma, fresh off a dazzling 80 in the Eliminator against Gujarat Titans, was dismissed for just 8 (7) by Marcus Stoinis. Arshdeep Singh: The Poet Who Bowls Thunder | Stories from His Father & Coach Rohit’s cheap dismissal meant he now shares an unwanted record with Suresh Raina for the most single-digit scores (9) in IPL knockout matches.Quiz: Who’s that IPL player? Jonny Bairstow contributed a brisk 38 off 24 balls, while Tilak Varma anchored the innings with a composed 44 off 29. Despite these efforts, it was Suryakumar’s wicket that brought the loudest cheer from PBKS fans. With the scoreboard reading steady but not imposing, Mumbai now look towards captain Hardik Pandya and youngster Naman Dhir to provide the fireworks at the death and push the total past the par mark. The stakes couldn’t be higher than a spot in the IPL 2025 final against RCB hangs in the balance.

So, I enjoy the responsibility that I get, no matter what stage it is. And at that time, I try not to feel the pressure and enjoy the moment and bring good results for the team.

Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PBKS vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Just two matches stand between us and the IPL 2025 final, and it’s down to three teams with a shot at the trophy. Punjab Kings take on Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 at Ahmedabad this Sunday night. The winner will go on to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final on June 3, also at Ahmedabad. Both Punjab and Mumbai have hit top gear at different stages of the tournament, so this one’s set up to be a thriller that’s tough to call. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Mumbai Indians are through to Qualifier 2 after knocking out Gujarat Titans with a 20-run win in the Eliminator. They set the tone early, putting up 228-5 on a great batting track in Chandigarh, and then held Gujarat to 208-6 despite a few shaky moments along the way. The five-time champs have completely flipped their season around in the back half and head into the knockouts with serious momentum. Their batting is starting to look ominous. Rohit Sharma, who’s had a mixed season, stepped up big in the Eliminator with a quality 81 off 50 balls. Jonny Bairstow, brought in as Will Jacks’ replacement, wasted no time making an impact—blasting 47 off just 22 balls. That explosive start from Bairstow gave MI a huge lift, and he looks set for another quick cameo. The middle-order has turned into a real strength. Suryakumar Yadav is in outrageous form—673 runs from 15 innings, averaging over 67.30, and striking at 167.83. With numbers like that, it’s hard not to back him for another 30-plus score. The pace duo of Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah gives MI a cutting edge. Boult was expensive in the Eliminator but is still a serious threat with the new ball and at the death. Bumrah, meanwhile, has been brilliant—18 wickets in 11 matches with an economy of just 6.36. His spell in the Eliminator broke Gujarat’s momentum when they were right in the chase. Beyond those two, though, the bowling doesn’t look as settled. Richard Gleeson didn’t quite deliver last match, apart from a couple of decent balls. Mumbai could look at swapping him out for Ashwani Kumar, who nailed his yorkers at the end against Gujarat. Deepak Chahar as an Impact Sub might also be a handy move—give him three overs and allow him to make some early inroads. Conditions in Ahmedabad might also bring Mitchell Santner into play, especially if there’s a bit of help for spin. Mumbai Indians Preview Punjab Kings were completely outplayed in Qualifier 1 by Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Sent in to bat, they crumbled for just 101, and RCB chased it down in only 10 overs. That kind of defeat would have rattled any team, but Punjab now has a second chance to fix things in the next knockout match. Despite the collapse last time, their batting has been their strong point all season. Prabhsimran Singh (517 runs in 15 innings) and Priyansh Arya (431 runs in 15 innings) have consistently laid a good base at the top. Punjab will be banking on one of them to click again. Shreyas Iyer has kept the middle order together with a cool head, piling up 516 runs in 15 games at a strike rate of 171. He’s stepped up when it matters and will again be central if they want to put up a solid score. Nehal Wadhera hasn’t had any huge knocks, but his cameos—striking at around 150—have helped in tight spots. Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis have chipped in as well. Stoinis has done his bit late in the innings, while Inglis has come in at number three or four and brought tempo. His 73 off 42 against Mumbai in the last league game was a standout—it shifted the momentum. Shashank Singh has added value too, holding his nerve and seeing them home in pressure moments. Their bowling hasn’t always been consistent, but there’s talent in there. Arshdeep Singh has been the standout, picking up 18 wickets in 15 matches and going at 8.62 per over. His ability to hit the right spots has helped. Weather Conditions The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch has delivered well for T20s — batters usually enjoy the conditions, but it also offers something for pacers and those who mix it up with slower balls. As the match progresses, the surface can lose some pace, making scoring a bit harder in the second half. Nonetheless, it remains a decent track for putting runs on the board. Ahmedabad is expected to be hot and dry, with no rain expected. PBKS vs MI Pitch Report The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad tends to produce decent batting surfaces, with an average first innings total of 177. However, the last two games here have seen totals of 230 or more by the side batting first and winning comfortably. With this being a knockout clash, teams will want to put up something big on the board to have a buffer in case the bowling doesn’t go to plan. Both sides will likely aim for something in the 210-215 range to feel like they’re in control. Toss: To Bat Six of the seven matches played at Ahmedabad in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first. So, the message is clear – win the toss and bat first at this venue.

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 30,Friday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium, Chandigarh, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​Indian Premier League, 2025 Gujarat Titans kicked off the season in style but have stumbled towards the end, suffering heavy defeats in two games back-to-back. Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. GT vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis The IPL 2025 playoffs are here, and Gujarat Titans are all set to face Mumbai Indians in Mullanpur this Friday in the Eliminator. It’s do-or-die territory—whoever loses is out of the tournament. The winner, on the other hand, moves on to Qualifier 2 to take on the loser of Qualifier 1. Both sides have had ups and downs this season, but they’ve also shown they can beat anyone when things click. Expect a fierce contest in this Eliminator that could easily go down to the wire. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview After a strong run through most of the season, where Gujarat Titans kept a tight grip on the top two spots, their momentum took a hit in the closing stretch. They suffered two lopsided losses — an 83-run hammering at the hands of Chennai Super Kings and a 33-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants. Those setbacks dropped them to third in the standings, meaning they now have to go through the Eliminator. One more bad game, and their campaign ends there. Outside of those two off days, Gujarat have been one of the more dependable sides in IPL 2025. They’ve generally struck the right balance in most departments. Their top order — Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler — has done most of the heavy lifting, each going past the 500-run mark this season. But with Buttler unavailable for the playoffs due to international duty, Gujarat have lost a major piece of their lineup. Kusal Mendis from Sri Lanka is expected to step in. He may not be as explosive as Buttler, but he’s someone who can steady the middle overs if needed. Lower down, Sherfane Rutherford has quietly delivered value, scoring 267 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 157. Shahrukh Khan, too, has shown that he can dig the team out if the top order fails. The bowling attack has been mostly steady this season, though the last two games have exposed a few issues. Even so, the team will be counting on Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, who have combined for 38 wickets, to get early inroads. Sai Kishore has chipped in with 17 wickets, even if his economy is on the higher side at 9 per over. Rashid Khan hasn’t had the kind of season GT would’ve hoped for, and that inconsistency could become a problem again. Washington Sundar might be brought in to replace Arshad Khan, who has struggled badly with the ball and been far too expensive. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians were within touching distance of a top-two finish after stringing together seven wins in eight games. But a 7-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in their final league match kept them to fourth. Still, that’s quite the turnaround for MI, considering they dropped three of their first four games. The five-time champions are back in the playoffs and, as always, know how to handle the pressure when it counts. As they head into the knockouts, though, they’ll have to do without Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks. Both are heading back for international duties, and that’s a big blow to their top order. The duo played a big role in giving MI strong starts. In their place, Jonny Bairstow and Charith Asalanka have been brought in. Bairstow knows the league well and if he can click with Rohit Sharma early on, MI could be in business. Jacks missing out also means a likely shift for Tilak Varma, who’s expected to move up to number three—his natural slot. He’s spent most of the season down at five, where he hasn’t really looked settled. A move back up could help him find his rhythm. One area where Mumbai have come alive is the middle-order. Suryakumar Yadav’s been a rampaging force—640 runs from 14 matches at an average north of 70 and a strike rate around 170. His last two innings—57 off 29 and an unbeaten 73 from 43—suggest he’ll be a real threat to Gujarat in the Eliminator. Lower down, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have chipped in at crucial moments.  Weather Conditions Mullanpur, like many pitches across India, offers a good setup for T20s. Batters who take a few deliveries to settle in can cash in later. There’s something in it for the bowlers too—seamers might get early movement with the new ball, and spinners should find some grip through the middle overs. The weather in Chandigarh is expected to be hot and dry. But with no rain on the radar, a full match is on the cards. GT vs MI Pitch Report Teams batting first at Mullanpur in the IPL tend to average around 170. Earlier this season, Punjab Kings put up the highest total at the ground—219 for 6—against Chennai Super Kings, a game they won by 18 runs. The pitch has played well for batters, and that trend should continue. Both sides will likely be aiming for something in the 210 range to feel they’ve given themselves a solid cushion. Toss: To Bat At Mullanpur in IPL 2025, three out of the four games have gone in favor of the side that batted first. Plus, given this is a knockout, choosing to bat first feels like the more reliable option.

Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PBKS vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis We’re into the final stretch of IPL 2025. The top four are locked, but the top two spots are still being fought over — and those positions matter since they give teams two cracks at making the final. That’s what keeps matches like Monday’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs. Mumbai Indians (MI) clash in Jaipur worth watching. Punjab have 17 points from 13 games and are currently second, while Mumbai sit fourth with 16 from 13. Whoever wins this one puts themselves in a strong position to secure a top two finish, depending on how the other matches play out. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have put in consistent work all season to lock in their playoff berth. But their shot at a top-two finish took a dent after a loss to Delhi Capitals. Despite putting up 206-8, their bowlers couldn’t contain the chase, and DC got home with six wickets to spare. Now they’re down to one last shot, and it’s against a Mumbai Indians side riding high on form. Punjab will need all parts of their game clicking together if they’re going to pull it off. Their batting has been firing throughout the season. Prabhsimran Singh (486 runs from 13 innings) and Priyansh Arya (362 in 13) have given them fast starts at the top. If Punjab is to get this done, they’ll need the same kind of energy again. Shreyas Iyer has anchored the middle overs nicely, collecting 488 runs from 13 matches at a strike rate of 172.43. He’s been calm under pressure and just came off a fluent 53 from 34 against DC. Nehal Wadhera hasn’t gone big but has pitched in with quick contributions at around a 153 strike rate, often shifting momentum just when it’s needed. Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis have been chipping in too. Stoinis especially has looked dangerous in bursts—like his explosive 44 off 16 in the last game. Shashank Singh is another one to watch. He’s stayed composed in the final overs and pulled off a few turnarounds late in the game. Bowling has let them down in patches, as seen in their last outing. Arshdeep Singh has been reliable, picking up 16 wickets in 13 games at 8.70 per over. Marco Jansen, though, hasn’t had much of an impact recently. Yuzvendra Chahal, who sat out the last game, might return for this one. He brings in the ability to break partnerships. If he clicks with Arshdeep and Harpreet Brar, Punjab can give Mumbai a real fight. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are through to the playoffs, but they’ll need one more win and some luck elsewhere if they’re aiming for a top-two slot. Confidence shouldn’t be an issue—they’ve bagged seven victories in their last eight games. Up top, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have had their ups and downs but have managed to lay decent foundations more often than not. Where Mumbai have really turned things around is in the middle-order. Suryakumar Yadav is in the kind of form that wins tournaments—583 runs in 13 games, averaging over 70 and striking at over 170. He’s coming off a brilliant 73* from 43 balls and looks primed to go big again. Tilak Varma’s keeping the innings moving, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have offered good support with some clutch knocks. Pandya’s done a bit with the ball too—13 wickets, although he’s gone for a touch over nine per over. Deepak Chahar has picked up 11 but hasn’t quite nailed the end overs. Trent Boult’s delivered both up front and at the death, and Jasprit Bumrah seems to be getting better with every game since his return—16 wickets from just nine outings, with an economy of 6.39. If those two click late in the innings, Mumbai could be in a strong spot. Mitchell Santner’s recent return to form gives them even more to work with—his 3 for 11 from four overs against Delhi was match-defining and gives the bowling attack even more balance heading into crunch time. Weather Conditions The surface at Sawai Mansingh Stadium offers consistent bounce and carry. Once the initial overs are out of the way, batters will find it easier to play their shots and get into a groove. Spinners might struggle later in the night as dew begins to build. The ground’s small size and setup tend to support aggressive batting and high-scoring games. Jaipur will be hot and dry, and the forecast doesn’t show any rain. The conditions look stable enough for the game to run without delays. PBKS vs MI Pitch Report The average first-innings score at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is 165, but this year’s pitches have been quite batter-friendly. In this match, the team setting the target will aim for something around 210 to give themselves a good shot at defending the total. Toss: To Bowl The previous game at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, where Delhi comfortably chased down a target of 207 versus Punjab with three balls still remaining and six wickets in hand,  made it clear that the pitch holds up well from start to finish, making it a ground where chasing makes a lot of sense.

Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals in last-ditch battle for playoffs

Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals in last-ditch battle for playoffs

Mumbai: By the time Mumbai Indians step out to play their penultimate league tie against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday at home, it would have been a fortnight since their last game. Remember the last ball midnight thriller which they lost to Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede? IPL resumption matters the most for the two teams still in qualification contention – Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. (AFP) In the interim, missiles were fired across the India-Pakistan border, IPL was suspended, Rohit Sharma called it quits in Test cricket. But here they are, back to normalcy. And straight in with an opportunity to seal the fourth playoff berth behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans. “It’s in our control. It’s a great position to be in,” said Mahela Jayawardene, MI head coach. “It’s better to have it in our control than anyone else’s and watch that situation, we’ve played good cricket to deserve to be in that situation… We’ve had a good week’s preparation and watched what the other teams were doing. We just need to go out and express ourselves and play a good game.” Before their last loss, MI, on a six-match winning streak, were looking like the team to beat. With the forced break, every team has had to start again. Five teams at the bottom of the points table have lost the right to advance further. IPL resumption matters the most for the two teams still in qualification contention – MI and DC. For DC, this is virtually a must-win. A slip-up from Delhi, and the only point of interest that will be left in the last week of IPL 2025 will be to see who finishes in the top two. “Every game is a pressure match in IPL. But there is additional pressure. If we lose, we are out,” said Munaf Patel, DC bowling coach. Besides, DC are having to play the remaining matches without Mitchell Starc, their leading wicket-taker and all-phase paceman. “It matters. Starc was our main bowler. Someone who could bowl 145kph, swing the ball. And we are playing at Wankhede where the pitch has bounce,” said Patel. “But you have to go with what you have and get performance.” They fared poorly the last time without Starc, in Delhi on Sunday. Coming off a 10-wicket loss, after watching Gujarat Titans openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan chase down 200, Mustafizur Rahman and Dushmantha Chameera will need to do a lot better. Wednesday’s action could be affected by weather with Mumbai experiencing unseasonal rains. No result will leave both teams with work to do in their final league matches. To cover for the threat of rain, as provided for the playoffs, an additional hour has been allocated for the remaining league matches in case of stoppages. “Obviously the weather has been threatening most of the games and it’s a decision that they’ve collectively taken,” Jayawardene said. “If it helps, it helps. But if you have serious rain, I don’t know whether the extra hour is going to help. As long as we can get a game with the extension…everyone wants to play a game of cricket rather than not play.”

Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 21,Wednesday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Indian Premier League, 2025 The previous meeting between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 ended with MI pulling off a 12-run victory in a nail-biter. Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MI vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis The Wankhede will host a high-stakes clash this Wednesday as Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals in Match 63 of IPL 2025 in what could be a potential decider. Mumbai are in fourth place with 14 points from 12 outings, while Delhi sit just behind with 13 from the same number of matches. If Delhi lose, they’re out—no second chances. Mumbai, on the other hand, punch their playoff ticket with a win. So, both teams have everything riding on this. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are on the brink of sealing a playoff berth. Sitting on 14 points from 12 games, one more win would lock them in. If they lose, things get a bit dicey—they’ll need to win their last league match and cross their fingers for other results. That said, confidence should be high in the camp. They’ve taken six wins from their last seven. The top order’s finding form at the right time—Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma are all getting runs. Rohit’s hit three fifties in his last five, Rickelton’s got two in his last three, and Jacks looked solid with one against GT in their last fixture. These three have been giving the side a solid start more often than not. The engine room, though, is where MI’s push is really coming from. Suryakumar Yadav is in unreal form—510 runs in 12 matches, averaging over 60 and striking at 170+. He looks set for another big knock. Tilak Varma is keeping the tempo high, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have chipped in with handy cameos under pressure. Pandya’s been handy with the ball too—13 wickets, though his economy’s just over nine. Deepak Chahar’s struck ten times but hasn’t quite closed out the death overs. Trent Boult has been useful both early and late, and Jasprit Bumrah looks like he’s heating up again with eight wickets in his last three. If he and Boult hit the mark late, MI could edge it. Delhi Capitals Preview It’s now or never for Delhi Capitals. A defeat in this match would knock them out of playoff contention. Their recent loss to Gujarat Titans didn’t just sting — it ended their top-two hopes, with their net run rate (0.260) dragging behind the rest of the top five. KL Rahul will have to lead from the front if DC is to put up a fight against Mumbai. He’s coming off a blazing unbeaten 112 off 65 balls versus GT and has already scored 493 runs in 11 innings this season. They’ll need another strong knock from him. Abishek Porel has held his own as well at the top, scoring 295 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 150. Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs have helped steady things when the middle order has looked shaky, adding vital runs at tense moments. Ashutosh Sharma has added late firepower, helping the side stay on track during crunch situations. With Mitchell Starc ruled out of the tournament, DC will be counting on Dushmantha Chameera and Mustafizur Rahman. Mustafizur brings control and experience, and you can back him for an economical spell. However, Chameera tends to go for runs. Kuldeep Yadav has been dependable, grabbing 12 wickets while keeping things tight at 6.97 an over. Vipraj Nigam has picked up nine wickets but has been expensive, conceding at 9.45 per over. Axar’s steady spin could come in handy again on a surface like this. They may also consider swapping out T Natarajan for Mukesh Kumar, given Natarajan’s struggles with economy. Weather Conditions Wankhede usually leans in favor of batters, but there’s a short stretch early on where seamers can make things happen with the new ball. After that, the pitch tends to settle, and runs come easier. Spinners may find some grip during the middle overs, but overall, the surface should stay true, so pace-off deliveries might not be the smartest call. The weather in Mumbai looks humid and overcast, with the possibility of a thunderstorm or two, but a full game still seems likely. MI vs DC Pitch Report At Wankhede, first-innings scores usually hover around 170. RCB smashed the highest ever here with 235-1 against MI back in 2015. Both teams will be eyeing a score of around 200-210 to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Chasing teams have come out on top in four of the six matches played at Wankhede in IPL 2025, suggesting that batting second has had the upper hand at this ground.

PBKS vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Punjab Kings (PBKS) face off against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 61 of IPL 2025 this Sunday afternoon in Ahmedabad. PBKS are sitting third on the table with 15 points from 11 games. MI aren’t far behind — they’re fourth with 14 points from 12. With the playoff picture tightening, this one matters for both teams. Given how things have gone lately, Punjab look a bit more in control coming into this matchup. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings dropped to third after their clash with Delhi Capitals was cut short due to a power failure. There’s no official word yet on whether the match will be replayed or if each side will take home a point each. Before the stoppage, Punjab had stormed to 122-1 in just 10.1 overs thanks to a blazing start from Priyansh Arya (70 off 34) and Prabhsimran Singh (50* off 28). Prabhsimran has now piled up 487 runs in 12 innings, striking at 171. Priyansh isn’t far behind—417 runs from 12 outings at a rapid 194.85. They’ve set the tone early in most games and been central to Punjab’s campaign. In the middle overs, Shreyas Iyer has done a solid job with 405 runs in 11 innings at a rate of 170. He’s stayed calm and dependable. Nehal Wadhera has played his part with useful knocks, batting at around 150. His contributions haven’t been big on paper but have helped shift momentum.  Marcus Stoinis remains unpredictable but can be dangerous late in the innings. Shashank Singh has taken on the finishing role quietly but has delivered under pressure more than once. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians were flying with five wins on the bounce, but their run hit a bump with a narrow loss to Gujarat Titans at home. That dropped them from second to fourth. They’re still in the playoff mix with two games to go, but at 12 points, there’s no more room for error. They’ve got the squad to push through, though they’ll need a bit of luck too. The top order is doing a solid job. Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have all put in solid starts. Rohit’s looked in rhythm again, with three fifties in his last five outings. Rickelton has hammered two fifties in his last three, and Jacks just hit one against GT. They’re setting solid platforms. The middle order, though, is where the real push is coming from. Suryakumar Yadav is on another level—510 runs in 12 matches, averaging 63.75, and going at 170.56. He’s in the zone and looks good for another 30-plus this time, too. Tilak Varma’s keeping the pressure on with quick runs and intent, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have added the finishing touches in tight spots. Pandya’s doing his bit with the ball as well—13 wickets with an economy of 9.17. Deepak Chahar has picked up 10 wickets but has been leaky at the death, including in the last game, which slipped away. Trent Boult has delivered both early on and in the final overs, and Jasprit Bumrah is starting to look dangerous again—eight wickets in his last three. If these two fire late, that could swing things MI’s way. Weather Conditions The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket – it’s good for batting but has something in it for pacers and slower bowlers too. Batting tends to get tougher in the second innings as the wickets starts to become slower. The weather in Ahmedabad will be hot and dry with no forecast of rain. PBKS vs MI Pitch Report Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has an average first innings score of 173. The highest total recorded at the venue is Punjab Kings’ massive 243-5 against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. With the surface starting to slow down a bit over the past couple of weeks, both sides are likely aiming for something in the 190-200 range in the first innings. Toss: To Bat Four of the five games played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first. This record is likely to push both teams to bat first in this game.
