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.

Welcome back, folks, for PBKS' response with the bat. The umpires and players are out in the middle. Hardik Pandya leads his men out as MI players spread out to the field. For Punjab Kings, it is the opening pair of Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, with the latter being brought in as the impact sub in place of Vyshak Vijaykumar. Trent Boult has the new ball and is raring to go.  Arya to face Boult first up. Off we go...

21:35 (IST) May 26

... THE RUN CHASE ...

21:31 (IST) May 26

Well then, 185 is the magic number for Punjab Kings to secure a top-two finish. Par or under-par? Usually, in high pressure games where everything is on the line, and as SKY said in the chat, having runs on the board is a huge positive. Yes, the pitch is a bit so-so for batting, but Mumbai Indians have got a fighting total nevertheless. Arshdeep Singh, Marco Jansen and others have done the job for PBKS and it is now time for the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult to test the batters. How will the young dynamic opening pair of the Kings adapt against high quality MI pace attack? A strong start is all what will set the tone for either of the two sides. Back in a bit for the second essay.

21:30 (IST) May 26

Suryakumar Yadav of Mumbai Indians is up for a quick chat with the broadcasters. He says it was a little challenging. He felt the wicket was a little sticky but overall good to bat on. He thinks they are 10-15 runs short, given how Hardik, Will and Naman were batting. But he feels that having runs on the board in a pressure game always helps, and he feels it's a fighting total. He mentions, pace off deliveries will work on this wicket and it won't be an easy chase. He says he's happy with his innings. He tells his favourites today were sweeps, flick, but he feels him batting till the end was the most important thing.

21:29 (IST) May 26

In the end, it was all about SKY’s brilliance. Offered a reprieve while batting on 45 off a dropped catch, he went on to score a sensational fifty. SKY and Naman Dhir opened the floodgates with a 23-run penultimate over against Vyshak Vijaykumar. Until that point, MI were well within touching distance of getting past 190, however, Arshdeep Singh spoiled their party a bit in the end, giving away just three runs in the final over.

21:28 (IST) May 26

Wickets kept tumbling in the crucial 7-15 over stretch, with three key batters departing, leaving MI with just 79 runs in that phase. Just when things seemed to be slipping away, Suryakumar Yadav took charge with relentless intent to keep MI in the fight. Hardik Pandya provided a stabilizing presence, injecting momentum, but even he couldn't convert his start into something substantial.

21:27 (IST) May 26

PBKS may not have made early inroads, but their bowling discipline was impeccable. They stuck to sharp lines and lengths, using the bounce effectively to keep batters in check. The pacers ensured Mumbai couldn’t hit full throttle, limiting their charge to sporadic boundaries. Still, SKY and Rohit kept the scoreboard ticking, navigating the tricky middle overs with grit. The run rate stayed healthy at 8-9 per over, but Rohit, battling timing issues, eventually fell trying to break free. His departure triggered a mini-collapse, as Tilak and Jacks followed suit, turning MI’s solid 81/1 into a shaky 106/4.

21:26 (IST) May 26

Mumbai Indians took a calculated approach at the start, with Ryan Rickelton playing the aggressor while Rohit Sharma eased into his innings. Rickelton wasted no time in finding the gaps and keeping the scoreboard moving, but his promising knock was cut short before he could truly capitalise. The bowlers initially found some swing, but it disappeared within the first six overs, leaving the steep bounce at times as the key challenge for batters. By the end of the Powerplay, MI had reached 52/1.

21:24 (IST) May 26

There are very few bowlers across the globe who can get three yorkers right on the money in the final over. Jasprit Bumrah is, of course, the first name that pops up in everyone's minds, but the silent assassin, Arshdeep Singh, has built his own reputation of doing so, and that too, with ridiculous consistency. And to execute it against Suryakumar Yadav is just mind-boggling. All in all, it was a disciplined bowling show from PBKS, barring that penultimate over, and for Mumbai Indians, wickets kept tumbling, but it was SKY who remained till the last, helping MI to get to a respectable total. 

21:22 (IST) May 26

Whoa! Suryakumar Yadav has opted for the review, but he is already walking off. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows the wickets on the umpire's call. OUT!

Suryakumar Yadav reaches out in front and tries to play the reverse scoop. He is beaten on the outside edge and the ball hits him on the boot. The finger is raised but SKY takes the review, more in hope than anything else. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping the off stump and it is umpire's call. Not as straight as it looked initially but the on-field call is upheld. MI finish with 184 on the board!
