Punjab Kings (PBKS) will have another shot at reaching the final as they are set to take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday evening. The winner of this game will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the mega final, set to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday.
Punjab Kings topped the points table during the regular season and earned the right to play in Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bangalore. But Shreyas Iyer’s team came up short in that match, with their batting completely collapsing as they were bundled out for a meagre 101 runs. There were no surprises as RCB chased down the target in just 10 overs.
The only positive for PBKS is that they now have another opportunity to qualify for the final. However, it won’t be an easy game, especially against this in-form Mumbai Indians team, which is currently on a roll. The five-time IPL champions have won 8 of their last 10 matches. Based on current form, MI will definitely fancy their chances of reaching the final.

PBKS vs MI Dream11 Top Fantasy Cricket Picks
- Hardik Pandya: Hit a quick-fire 22 runs off just 9 balls in the first innings, helping his team post 228/5 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans. His all-round abilities make him a no-nonsense pick for PBKS vs MI Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
- Shreyas Iyer: Failed to get going in Qualifier 1 against RCB, but the Punjab Kings captain is too good a player to miss out in two successive matches. Expect Iyer to step up in this high-pressure clash against MI.
- Suryakumar Yadav: By far the most consistent batsman for Mumbai Indians this season. The 34-year-old has amassed 673 runs in 15 innings in IPL 2025. In the Eliminator, India’s T20I captain scored 33 off 20 balls.
- Prabhsimran Singh: With 517 runs in 15 innings, the Punjab Kings wicketkeeper-batter is the leading run-scorer for his side this season. He thrives during the powerplay and has the potential to turn the game around in a matter of overs.
- Jasprit Bumrah: In a high-scoring game where most bowlers leaked runs at nearly 12 per over, Bumrah stood out by conceding just 27 runs in four overs and picking up a wicket. He remains a game-changer with the ball.
- Rohit Sharma: Big games call for big players, and that’s exactly what Rohit Sharma delivered in the Eliminator against GT. The former India T20I captain scored a match-high 81 off 50 balls to help set up a massive total for MI.
