PBKS vs. MI: In their high-stakes final league matchup on Monday, the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will try to secure a top-two finish in the IPL 2025 standings.
Even though both teams, along with the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), have already secured their playoff positions, the results of the remaining games will decide the ultimate standings.
A defeat to MI might lower PBKS to third or even fourth place, putting them in the Eliminator rather than Qualifier 1, even though they now have 17 points and are in second place. PBKS needs to win this game in order to guarantee a top-two finish and obtain the upper hand heading into the playoffs.
