In a high-stakes encounter in Match 69 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to face Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The winner of this match will secure a spot in the top two.
PBKS suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last outing, which dented their top-2 chances and made this a must-win game. Their batting, led by Shreyas Iyer, has looked solid, but their bowling has been a concern, often conceding runs at crucial moments.
MI, on the other hand, are in top form with just one loss in their last eight matches. The Jasprit Bumrah-led bowling attack has consistently troubled opponents, while their batting, powered by Suryakumar Yadav, has kept pressure on every team they’ve faced. With strong momentum on their side, MI head into this contest as slight favorites.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report:
Sawai Mansingh Stadium, a venue renowned for its balanced surface that can favour both batters and bowlers depending on the match conditions. Early in the game, fast bowlers might find some assistance with seam movement, while spinners are likely to make an impact during the middle overs. As the game progresses, the pitch generally becomes more favourable for batting, allowing stroke-makers to play more freely in the second innings. Notably, teams chasing have historically enjoyed a clear edge here, suggesting that the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first. With the possibility of dew setting in during the latter stages, defending a total could prove to be a tough challenge.
