PBKS vs MI: The upcoming clash between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings marks the final league fixture for both sides in IPL 2025, with a top-two finish and a spot in Qualifier 1 on the line.
Following Gujarat Titans' heavy loss to Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, the race for the top two remains wide open.

MI trail the top spot by just two points, while PBKS are only one point adrift. The team that comes out on top will secure a place in the top two, while the losing side may have to settle for third or fourth-depending on the outcome of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's final league game against Lucknow Super Giants on 27th May.
Yuzvendra Chahal missed the previous match, and his availability for the upcoming game against Punjab is still uncertain. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have no injury concerns or reports of player unavailability ahead of the fixture.
Yuzvendra Chahal has proven to be a thorn in Hardik Pandya's side in the IPL, having dismissed him four times while conceding just 71 runs from 74 deliveries. Should Chahal return to Punjab's lineup, he is likely to be a key figure during the middle overs, particularly when Pandya takes the crease.
Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer could play a pivotal role with the bat for PBKS. He has enjoyed notable success against Mumbai's pace attack-Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Deepak Chahar-boasting an impressive average of 87 against the trio in IPL encounters. For Mumbai, the likes of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav will be the key batters to look forward to.
