Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians will meet in a huge IPL 2025 clash on Sunday, June 1, with a place in the final up for grabs. The match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
For PBKS, led by Shreyas Iyer, this is a golden opportunity. They’ve never lifted the IPL trophy before and haven’t reached the final since 2014. They topped the table this season but missed their first chance to make the final after a loss to RCB in Qualifier 1.

On the other side, Mumbai Indians have been through a season full of ups and downs. After a gritty win over Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator, they are now just one win away to play one more IPL final.
While there’s no major weather concern for Sunday, fans still search online to check what happens “if it rains” during this match. It’s a rare possibility, but it’s worth knowing the rules.
No, there is no reserve day for Qualifier 2 in IPL 2025. The reserve day rule is only applied to the final. That means if the PBKS vs MI game cannot be completed on Sunday due to weather, the outcome will be decided based on standings in the points table.

Punjab Kings, who finished higher in the league stage, will go through to the final if the match gets washed out completely. MI would be knocked out without even bowling a ball.
Based on current forecasts, the chance of rain in Ahmedabad on Sunday is very low, ranging from just 0% to 5%. That means the match is expected to go ahead as planned.

Even though there’s no reserve day, the IPL has a system in place to try and complete the match on the same day. The match officials are allowed to use up to two hours of extra time to deal with any delays.

The aim is always to get the match result on the field. Before reducing overs or turning to the DLS method, the organisers will use the 120-minute buffer. If needed, they may also shorten the innings break and skip or reduce the strategic time-outs.
