PBKS vs MI Head-to-Head Record in IPL: The race for the IPL 2025 playoffs intensifies as Punjab Kings take on Mumbai Indians in Match 69 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, May 26. The two sides are jostling for a crucial top-two spot, which could provide them a direct ticket to Qualifier 1.
Punjab Kings, currently second on the table with 17 points from 13 games, missed a golden chance to go top after a thrilling loss to Delhi Capitals. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians, with 16 points and the best Net Run Rate in the league, kept their qualification hopes alive with a gritty win over Delhi in their last match.

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium has been a batter's paradise in IPL 2025. Six games here have produced an average first-innings score of over 200.

Punjab Kings have had a rollercoaster ride in IPL 2025, but under the steady leadership of Shreyas Iyer, they've emerged as serious title contenders. Sitting at No. 2 on the points table with 17 points from 13 games, PBKS have shown an impressive mix of aggression and adaptability.
Their top-order has been powered by the explosive Priyansh Arya, who has redefined powerplay batting this season with a strike rate nearing 180. Alongside him, Prabhsimran Singh has played a key support role, providing brisk starts. In the middle overs, captain Iyer has held things together with smart, composed knocks, while Shashank Singh has provided vital acceleration.
The all-round department has looked well-balanced thanks to Marcus Stoinis and Azmatullah Omarzai, both capable of contributing with bat and ball. Marco Jansen's left-arm angle has added variety to the bowling attack, while Arshdeep Singh continues to be lethal with the new ball, especially under lights in Jaipur conditions.
The ace up their sleeve remains Yuzvendra Chahal, whose guile and experience have helped PBKS control the middle overs. If all departments fire, Punjab could not only secure a top-two finish but also walk into the playoffs with enormous momentum.
Mumbai Indians know how to peak at the right time-and they're doing it again. After a slow start to the season, MI have roared back into contention with a string of solid performances, led by captain Hardik Pandya. With 16 points from 13 matches, they are still in the race for a top-two finish, thanks to the best net run rate in the tournament.
Rohit Sharma, the veteran opener, continues to be a key figure at the top, especially against PBKS-a team he has scored 600+ runs against in IPL history. His experience is well complemented by the young and dynamic Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks, who can dismantle any bowling attack on their day.
Suryakumar Yadav is arguably MI's biggest trump card. In imperious form this season, SKY has lit up the tournament with his innovative strokeplay and strike rate of over 170. He has built strong partnerships in the middle overs with Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir, both of whom have added depth to MI's batting arsenal.
In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah remains unmatched, especially at the death. His consistent economy and knack for breakthroughs have won MI key moments. Trent Boult's opening bursts and Mitchell Santner's left-arm spin provide balance and variation. With Deepak Chahar adding further swing options and Hardik himself contributing with the ball, MI have a potent bowling lineup to test any batting unit.
Mumbai may have left it late, but they're here with purpose-and if they click collectively, they're more than capable of toppling Punjab and shaking up the playoffs landscape.
