IPL 2025: Qualifier 2 – PBKS vs MI Predictions

The road to the IPL 2025 Final narrows as Punjab Kings lock horns with the resurgent Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 1. The stakes couldn’t be higher: a place in the grand finale awaits the victor, while defeat spells the end of the journey.

Punjab Kings, who began their campaign with a blistering 243-run effort at this very venue, return to Ahmedabad in contrasting spirits. A humbling defeat to RCB in Qualifier 1 has exposed vulnerabilities under pressure. While their youthful exuberance and attacking brand of cricket have earned them plaudits, the question remains whether they can hold their nerve against a battle-hardened side like MI in a do-or-die contest.

Mumbai Indians, in stark contrast, are peaking at the right time. With eight wins in their last ten games and a commanding Eliminator victory over Gujarat Titans, they carry momentum, belief, and experience into this clash.

Jasprit Bumrah has been the cornerstone of their bowling attack, boasting exceptional control and impact. Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, and Tilak Varma have formed a stable top order, while even their temporary overseas additions like Jonny Bairstow and Richard Gleeson have made immediate contributions.

While PBKS have beaten MI earlier this season, knockout cricket is an entirely different challenge. Mumbai’s five-title legacy and their ability to thrive in crunch moments make them favourites. For PBKS, the challenge lies in executing under pressure and relying on their fearless young guns to rise to the occasion.
