The Mumbai Indians seemed to be destined for another failure of a season in which the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 began. They lost four of their first five games and seemed to end in the lower half as in IPL 2024, but that did not happen.
However, they changed them dramatically once they beat Delhi Capitals in a thriller in the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The 12 -run victory was the trigger that Hardik Pandya’s men wished, since they won six games in a row and lost only twice for the rest of the season. Very easily they put other teams to the fourth and last place in the playoffs with a second victory over DC.
In the eliminator, they threw themselves with a plan and hit with the purpose of overcoming Gujarat’s Titans dominantly. They are ready to face the kings of Punjab who suffered a shake in qualifier 1 against the Royal Bengaluru (RCB) challenges after being all out for 101 and then losing the game for eight WICKETS.
It was not the case of PBK until then. They became the third T20 team to score seven scores of more than 200 while hitting for the first time in a single edition of a tournament. Shreyas Iyer’s team was excellent with the ball and even better with the bat, since they won nine in their 14 league games and lost four games.
Rain threat to PBK vs my IPL 2025 Qualifier 2
While they plan to win the Crucial Classification 2 and reach their first final since 2014, Punjab Kings received bad news in Ahmedabad.
His practice session scheduled for Saturday night was eliminated because visibility was too low and the rain is constant throughout the day.

Ahmedabad was also the host city when the last phase game of an IPL season had to be changed. The IPL 2023 final between GT and Chenna Super Kings was played two days after the first day play was canceled due to strong showers.
What happens if IPL 2025 qualifies 2 washes?
For IPL 2025, the Governing Council had initially chosen Hyderabad and Kolkata during the last four games, but had to move them to Mullanpur and Ahmedabad on the western side of the country due to bad weather on the side of Bay of Bengala.
While the climate for qualifier 1 and the eliminator was perfect, a complete qualifier washing 2 will put advantage of the kings of Punjab.
There is a reserve day for the final on June 3, but there is none for the playoffs.
In case of bad weather, the game can also start two hours after the scheduled start time of 7:30 PM (IST) in accordance with the IPL declaration published on May 20.
However, if qualifier 2 is washed, then Punjab Kings will qualify for the final. According to the rules, the team with a higher ending in the points table will pass in case of a result without.
