The Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) is on the horizon as Punjab Kings (PBKS) will challenge Mumbai Indians (MI) to secure a berth in the IPL 2025 final. PBKS will get into this match after losing both the toss and the match in Qualifier 1, while MI excelled in every department in the Eliminator. The next match, starting on Jun 1, 2025, at Narendra Modi Stadium at 7:30 PM, will be a decider as to who will play against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2025 final.
Considering PBKS vs MI matches from IPL 2022 to IPL 2025, PBKS won the toss on two occasions and converted only one chance into victory. Conversely, MI won the toss three times, but secured victory only in one match. In IPL 2025, when these teams faced each other, PBKS clinched victory after winning the toss.
If we look closely, in the last five matches, MI skipper Hardik Pandya led the team to victory more after losing the toss. He lost the toss in one match and found victory, but after losing the toss on four occasions, MI gained victory in two games. On the other hand, PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer claimed victory in both matches after winning the toss, but the winning percentage dropped after losing the toss, as PBKS could win only one match after losing the toss three times. So, in today’s match, it will be extremely important for both skippers to win the toss, making this contest a do-or-die for both PBKS and MI.Â
