MI vs PBKS Highlights , IPL 2025: Punjab Kings win by 7 wickets

MI vs PBKS Live Score, IPL 2025: As the league stage of IPL 2025 nears its end, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians face off in a high-stakes, winner takes all clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 25. With playoff spots on the line and the potential to secure a place in Qualifier 1, both teams will treat this game as a virtual knockout. This fixture unfolds at a neutral venue that has dramatically shifted from its historical identity where slow pitches were the norm to a run-fest-friendly surface this season. The average first innings score at Jaipur this year has been a towering 201, with the 200-mark breached in four of six games.

Punjab Kings, despite a close loss to Delhi Capitals, are well-tuned to the conditions, having posted scores over 200 in their previous two outings at this venue. With depth extending as far as No. 9, the likes of Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen give their batting formidable firepower in the death overs, where they lead the charts with a scoring rate of 11.68. Their probable inclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal, depending on fitness, could be key to neutralizing big hitters like Hardik Pandya.

Mumbai Indians come armed with arguably the tournament’s best death-overs bowling attack. Led by Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, MI have picked the most wickets (33) in the final four overs, with remarkable averages and economy. Their tactical challenge lies in countering Punjab’s batting surge late in the innings. On the batting front, Shreyas Iyer will be a vital figure for Punjab, having averaged 87 against MI’s pace trio, another subplot in this high-voltage clash.

While Punjab Kings carry the momentum of an explosive batting unit, MI have the experience and tactical discipline of a well-oiled playoff side. The pressure handling capability of Mumbai, with a core that has been through such situations multiple times, could offer an edge. For Punjab, however, it’s about shedding past baggage and forging a new legacy with a revitalized lineup.

Adding to the drama is the venue's poor catching efficiency (60%) which is the lowest in the league and could make for some tense moments. With both teams evenly matched and little separating the top four, this final league match could prove pivotal not just for playoff qualification, but also for establishing championship credentials.

Expect fireworks, nerves, and a playoff-level atmosphere in Jaipur.

Here's Mitchell Santner to begin the post-Powerplay phase for Mumbai Indians. He replaces Jasprit Bumrah.
