PBKS vs MI, IPL 2025 Qualifier 2: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

Punjab Kings (PBKS) are taking on Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The winner of this clash will progress to the final, where they will meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Tuesday, June 3 at the same venue.

PBKS suffered an eight-wicket hammering at the hands of RCB in Qualifier 1 in Mullanpur. Batting first, Punjab struck to their ultra-aggressive batting approach. However, their thought process backfired as Bengaluru's pacers and spinners found enough help from the surface. PBKS were bundled out for 101 in 14.1 overs after which RCB cruised their way into the final.

Mumbai came up with an excellent effort against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Eliminator. Batting first after winning the toss, they posted 228-5 as Rohit Sharma rode his luck to smash 81 off 50. In the chase, GT were restricted to 208-6 in spite of Sai Sudharsan's 80 off 49 as Jasprit Bumrah (1-27) starred with a brilliant spell.
