Table-toppers Punjab Kings (PBKS) will need a win against Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 31 (Saturday), at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While MI are entering this contest on the back of an impressive win against Gujarat Titans, PBKS need to tighten their screws after the loss against RCB the other night. 
It is now a do-or-die for the two teams, and a chance for MI to repeat history, becoming the second team in IPL history (since playoffs were introduced) to win the competition from the Eliminator.

It is a neck-to-neck record between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, as the five-time IPL champions have won 17 times in comparison to PBKS’ 16. 

Considering the two teams’ form, Mumbai Indians walk into this contest on some form after a 20-run win in the Eliminator against Gujarat Titans. Don’t be surprised if MI get past PBKS with relative ease. 

Suryakumar Yadav has been on a red-hot streak, with a 25+ score across all 15 innings thus far in IPL 2025, which is a world record. The 33-year-old smashed a 20-ball 33 in the Eliminator clash against Gujarat Titans, with four boundaries. Expect him to come out of the box in a similar fashion against PBKS.

Unfortunately, for PBKS, Jasprit Bumrah is peaking at the wrong time. Bumrah wasn’t fit for the first few games, but since his return, he has been MI’s best bowler, with 18 wickets in IPL 2025, averaging 15.33. He was yet again on target against GT, with a toe-crushing yorker to remove Washington Sundar. 

Six out of the seven games at the Narendra Modi Stadium has been won by teams batting first, and expect a similar pattern to follow on June 1 (Sunday). The team winning the toss would want to bat first, and put on 221, which is the average first-innings total at the venue. 
Spinners have a better record at the venue, with 28 wickets @30 and an ER of 9.9. 

There’s no threat of rain in Ahmedabad on June 1 (Sunday), which means that we will get the entire clash uninterrupted. However, the weather might be on the higher end, with temperatures set to be at 30 degrees Celsius during the clash.
