PBKS vs MI Pitch Report: How will the surface at Sawai Mansingh Stadium play for today's match? When & where to watch

The stage is set for a high-voltage contest as Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their final league-stage encounter of IPL 2025 on Monday in Jaipur. With playoff spots hanging in the balance, both teams will be desperate to secure a win and improve their chances of finishing in the top two.

PBKS currently sit second on the points table with 17 points. A win would ensure their place in Qualifier 1, giving them two opportunities to reach the final. However, a loss against MI could push them down to third or fourth place, depending on Net Run Rates and other results — forcing them into the riskier Eliminator round.

MI, on the other hand, have built solid momentum in the latter half of the season. With a strong Net Run Rate working in their favor, a victory over PBKS could potentially propel them into the top two, provided other match outcomes align.


Jasprit Bumrah has led MI’s bowling attack with trademark precision, taking 16 wickets in just 9 matches. He has been well supported by Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, both of whom have delivered timely breakthroughs. PBKS will be wary of their consistency and variety. In contrast, PBKS’s bowling has been under scrutiny, especially after a disappointing outing against Delhi Capitals, and will need to raise their game.
