MI vs PBKS: Punjab Kings won by 7 wickets against Mumbai Indians, to reach at the top of the points table.
Punjab Kings, after winning the toss, decided to bowl first. Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton opened for Mumbai Indians and put on a partnership of 45 runs in 5.1 overs as Marco Jansen picked up his wicket to get the first breakthrough for Punjab Kings. Suryakumar Yadav came to the crease and started playing his game; a left-handed bowler again trapped Rohit Sharma, and Tilak Varma was dismissed next. Hardik Pandya scored some runs for his team, but a slower delivery sent him back to the dugout. Suryakumar Yadav scored his fifty and took his team to a total of 184 runs at the end of 20 overs.
Chasing the target, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh opened for Punjab Kings. The left-handed batter was playing like he does, but Prabhsimran Singh was struggling to score runs, and the desperation led to his wickets as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed him in the first over of his spell. Josh Inglis came to the crease and partnered with Priyansh Arya. Both batters scored in their fifties and took the score to 143 runs. Priyansh Arya got caught at long-off, but he did his work, and Inglis continued with skipper Shreyas Iyer to lead his team closer to the target. Punjab Kings finished the game in 18.3 overs.

IPL 2025, Match 69th, MI vs PBKS: Captains’ Corner
Every individual stepped up at the right time. Starting from game one, we’ve been in the mindset of wanting to win despite the situation. We’ve had players putting their hands up when we were in the dumps. Kudos to support staff and management too. Ricky has been fantastic with player management, it’s important for me to get trust too. That happened with the wins early on. Had conversations with them too. You have to maintain good relationships throughout. I feel the dressing room has been top notch throughout. (Playing six uncapped players) The way Priyansh started was fabulous, young players are fearless. They tick the boxes in the nets, the effects of the prep is now showing on the field. Inglis is the only player whose position has been chopping and changing. Since he loves playing the new ball, I wanted him to play more deliveries. It worked wonders. We know he’s destructive and a big-match player with great attitude. The camaraderie has been there for the past few years between Ricky and I, he gives me a lot of freedom. I tell him to do the thinking from the outside and then I execute on the field.

The way the wicket played, we were 20 runs short. Happens. We’ve been playing good cricket but didn’t tonight, that cost us. We’ve won five trophies, it’s always been tough. If you take the foot off the accelerator, other teams take over. The message would be simple: this is a small blip, learn from it and look forward to the knockout. It’s still fresh, will identify issues later. Our batting needed to capitalise to get 20 more though. (Karn as impact sub?) Not really, we back Ashwani. Don’t think there was much difference in the pitch between the innings. Our bowling wasn’t clinical, they played good shots as well. Just want to play good cricket going forward, figure out the right template for the batting group. Not much panic though, we knew what was at stake. Nothing changes from the situation four days ago that we find ourselves back in.
