PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Key Players: Suryakumar Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah & Josh Inglis in focus ahead of today's clash

Mumbai Indians are set to take on Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. This knockout match is a crucial step toward the final, with both sides looking to bounce back or build on recent results.

Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya, head into the clash with renewed confidence after defeating Gujarat Titans by 20 runs in the Eliminator. Known for their playoff pedigree, the five-time champions will count on their experience in high-pressure situations.

Key players such as Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav have delivered consistently throughout the season. The recent form of Jonny Bairstow and Richard Gleeson has also added strength to the team’s lineup.


In contrast, Punjab Kings will be aiming to recover from a tough loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1. Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, they will look to their top-order batters to set the tone, while the bowling attack must step up in the absence of two key players — Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal.

The pitch at Ahmedabad is known for being batting-friendly, offering good bounce and carry, which could result in a high-scoring contest. In such conditions, the ability to adapt quickly and maintain composure under pressure will be key.
