Match Overview:
PBKS vs MI: A high-stakes matchup between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) is scheduled for Match 69 of the 2025 Indian Premier League. Given the fact that both clubs have already guaranteed postseason positions, a top-two finish is still possible, hence both teams must win this game.
In a thrilling match in Jaipur on Saturday, May 24, PBKS lost to Delhi Capitals, wasting a great chance to take the lead. With 17 points from 13 games, the Shreyas Iyer-led team is positioned at number two in the standings. Their focus will be on Sunday’s match between the Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. The Titans are at the top of the points standings with 18 points from 13 games. Although they have 17 points from 13 games, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is closing the gap on PBKS, but their net run rate (NRR) is worse.
The top two spots on the points standings are up for grabs between these three teams. But with 16 points from 13 games, the Mumbai Indians are also competitive. The team captained by Hardik Pandya has the highest NRR in the competition. The Titans ended their six-game winning streak, but they managed to secure a crucial victory over the Delhi Capitals to earn a postseason berth.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report:
Six IPL 2025 games have been held at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Over 200 runs had been scored on average in the first innings. Both taking and batting first teams have won three games overall. Despite some fluctuating bounce in the most recent Punjab vs. Delhi match, both teams scored more than 200 runs. Teams can easily reach 200-plus runs at this location if the top-order hitters are on fire. Since the team batting first would be under pressure to score a lot of runs, the captain who wins the toss would want to chase.
