PBKS vs MI Match In Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad
In a significant development, the Indian Premier League 2025 Match 61 between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, originally slated for May 11 in Dharamsala, has been officially relocated to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. So Let’s take a look at PBKS vs MI Match In Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad.
With the closure of multiple airports including those in Dharamsala, Jammu, and Chandigarh due to ‘operation sindoor’, the decision to change venues became inevitable.
Although Mumbai was initially considered as a possible alternate venue, the BCCI opted for Ahmedabad to maintain neutrality and avoid giving either side a home-ground advantage.
Despite the disruption, the PBKS vs Delhi Capitals fixture on May 8 will go ahead as scheduled at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, since both teams are already in Dharamsala.
Post-match, PBKS will embark on a journey to Ahmedabad, while DC will head back to Delhi for their next encounter against Gujarat Titans. Team officials are exploring road or train travel options, keeping player comfort as the top priority.
DC and PBKS road to playoff
Punjab Kings had three games lined up at Dharamsala this season — against Lucknow Super Giants (May 3), Delhi Capitals (May 8), and Mumbai Indians (May 11). They opened their Dharamsala leg on a high note, defeating LSG by 37 runs.
The race to the playoffs has now become even more intriguing. PBKS, under Shreyas Iyer’s leadership, need at least two wins from their remaining three games to book a direct spot in the top four. A single win may still keep them in contention, but their net run-rate will need to work in their favor.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals must win all three of their remaining matches to guarantee qualification. If they win two, it opens the door for some scoreboard math, hoping MI stumble in their remaining games. A single victory, however, puts them at the mercy of other teams’ results, particularly those of MI, LSG, and KKR.
