The penultimate group-stage match in the 2025 Indian Premier League will see the Punjab Kings face off against the Mumbai Indians on Monday afternoon. PBKS and MI are in first and fourth place, respectively, in the league standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
With both these teams already guaranteed a place in the Playoffs, this represents a huge clash in terms of who will play the Eliminator and who advances to Qualifier 1.
The Punjab Kings have the advantage, having beaten the Delhi Capitals in their last match to take top spot, and another win here will see them end top of the table.
Prabhsimran Singh and Arshdeep have been the standout performers for PBKS this season, currently 10th and seventh in the Orange and Purple Cap standings, respectively.
Meanwhile, after a dismal start to the season, the Mumbai Indians have surged back and secured their place in the Playoffs with a 59-run victory over DC last week.
Suryakumar Yadav has been excellent in this competition, now on 583 runs and third in the leading run-scorer standings, while Trent Boult has notched up 19 wickets.
In 32 previous matches, the Mumbai Indians hold a slight advantage in the head-to-head standings, having won 17 games to Punjab’s 15.
