Just one more match remains in IPL 2025's league phase. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) tomorrow. A win for RCB will send them to the top-two; a loss will see Gujarat Titans take second.

Join us tomorrow as we bring you the live updates. Until then, thank you and goodnight!

Punjab Kings have reaped the rewards for a superb auction. Yes, they spent Rs 26.75 crore on Shreyas Iyer, but they also went with a plan and built a strong squad in the auction. Their selection of young Indian players and experienced overseas stars was top-notch. Credit to head coach Ricky Ponting too!

Mumbai Indians finish in 4th spot in the league stage. 8 wins, 6 losses. MI will lose a number of key player - Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks and Corbin Bosch - heading into the playoffs. They will hope the replacements can do well, and for a better bowling effort next time.

And with that, Punjab Kings have sealed their Qualifier 1 berth. They will play at home in Mullanpur on May 29. It is the first time they have finished in the top two of the points table since 2014. Truly a great side this year.

Captain Shreyas finishes it off in style! A superb six over mid-wicket to seal victory. A fantastic win for Punjab Kings, they've sealed a Qualifier 1 spot with a top-two finish now! Magnificent run chase by them. Star showings by Inglis and Priyansh. Preity Zinta is ecstatic!

PBKS 187/3 (18.3) beat MI 184/7 (20) by 7 wickets!

Slammed over the covers by Shreyas Iyer! A shot of high class by the Punjab Kings captain. Only 5 runs needed in the final 2 overs for PBKS. This has been a perfectly-executed run chase, and the captain seems set to finish off a great win and seal a Qualifier 1 berth.

PBKS 180/3 (18)

OUT! Josh Inglis' superb knock comes to an end. DRS review taken by MI as Inglis trapped on the pads, after the umpire gave not out. Hawkeye shows three reds and Inglis is out! A fine knock of 73 off 42 from the Australian. He has put PBKS on the doorstep of victory.

PBKS 171/3 (17.3)

Josh Inglis picks up another boundary. Jasprit Bumrah's spell is done. 1/23 today, but he's been unable to provide a stop to Inglis' remarkable strokeplay today. PBKS are only 20 runs away from victory, and becoming the first team to chase 185 against MI since 2020.

PBKS 165/2 (17)

Shreyas Iyer goes after Will Jacks, gets his first boundary of the evening. Sweep shot executed to perfection. Punjab Kings get 12 off the over, and the required run-rate comes down even more. They need less than 7 an over with 4 remaining. 27 needed off 24.

PBKS 158/2 (16)

Mitchell Santner with a superb over. Just 3 runs conceded, and a crucial wicket. This will give a glimmer of hope to MI. PBKS need 39 runs off the final 5 overs, at less than 8 runs per over. Very gettable still. Captain Shreyas Iyer is in the middle now.

PBKS 146/2 (15)

Priyansh Arya departs! Mitch Santner gets the wicket. Shorter ball by the NZ star, Priyansh goes for the big hit but finds the fielder at long-off. A magnificent innings comes to an end. 62 off 35 made by the young left-hander.

PBKS 143/2 (14.1)

Trent Boult back into the attack, but he isn't having a great day either. Josh Inglis slams a cover drive of conviction, but then Boult errs in his line and Priyansh picks up a boundary through fine leg. PBKS need just 42 off 36!

PBKS 143/1 (14)

11 runs off Bumrah's over! Priyansh Arya has smashed a maximum off Bumrah to end his third over. Over fine-leg, fine shot! PBKS need just 54 runs from 42 balls now. The Qualifier 1 spot is well in sight for the men in red.

PBKS 131/1 (13)

SIX to get to 50! Priyansh Arya is back in form! The left-hander slams a boundary and a six to finish another expensive over of Hardik Pandya. He has got to the milestone in just 27 balls. PBKS continue to motor along.

PBKS 120/1 (12)

Josh Inglis completes his half-century! Excellent knock by the Australian. Came into bat with the scoreboard pressure on PBKS and he has completely shifted it back onto MI's shoulders. His first fifty of IPL 2025. Gets a big applause from PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta.

PBKS 110/1 (11.4)

Three boundaries in row! Josh Inglis is now bringing out the reverse sweeps! What a superb display of batting this is turning out to be from the Australian opener. He is up to 48 off just 27 balls. PBKS are soaring at the minute. They are past 100.

PBKS 105/1 (11)

Punjab Kings are right in the chase here. The 4 overs after the powerplay have been excellent, and they have Josh Inglis to thank for that. Priyansh as well at the other end has been superb. Both are nearing half-centuries at a brisk pace. MI need some wickets.

Josh Inglis continues his excellent knock. He's even going after Bumrah here! Lovely cover drive, he just hammers it! Second 4 of the innings for Inglis, to add to the three sixes he had hit again. And Hardik has missed a run-out chance! Direct hit and Priyansh Arya would've been well short.

PBKS 89/1 (10)

Another boundary! Josh Inglis is playing a gem of a knock here. Inglis gets low in his stance, picks the length to perfection and hammers a pull shot through mid-wicket for another boundary. Up to 31 off just 18 balls.

PBKS 83/1 (8.4)

Priyansh and Inglis continue to deal in boundaries as Hardik Pandya comes into the attack. Priyansh slams a boundary through the covers, while Inglis innovates with an upper cut and gets 6 runs as reward. Two good overs in a row for PBKS.

PBKS 75/1 (8)

Josh Inglis with another maximum! Goes deep into the crease, and pummels it over mid-wicket for a maximum. Excellent shot by the Australian, who is taking his chances. Second six for Inglis this evening. 14 from Santner's over.

PBKS 61/1 (7)

Misfield! Priyansh picks up a boundary off Mitch Santner's first delivery, through square-leg. Tilak Varma covered a lot of ground trying to stop the four, but a misfield by both him and Naman Dhir allows Arya to get 4 more. 50 up for PBKS.

PBKS 51/1 (6.1)

Good shot by Priyansh Arya. Poor ball by Chahar, who is continuing to bowl slower balls now. Arya just helps this one through fine leg, no fielder there. PBKS manage 47 in the powerplay, they need to up the scoring rate a little more.

PBKS 47/1 (6)

Cracking shot! Josh Inglis shows his might, and what a sound off the bat! Chahar with a slower ball and Inglis slams him over mid-wicket for a maximum. Terrific shot by the Australian batter. First boundary for him.

PBKS 41/1 (5.3)

Terrific opening over by Bumrah. Showcases exactly why he is widely regarded as the best bowler in the world. 4 dots, one wicket and just one run conceded. He puts the brakes on the PBKS run chase once again.

PBKS 35/1 (5)

Prabhsimran GONE! Bumrah takes a wicket on his second ball. Prabhsimran has endured an innings of several mistimed shots, and this time he pays the price. Slices it up in the air. Ashwani Kumar, who dropped him last over, now holds on at third-man.

PBKS 34/1 (4.2)

Superb shot! Priyansh Arya concludes the over with a glorious cover drive. Opens up the face of the bat, fielder tried to stop it, but it goes past him for 4. Expensive second over for Chahar. Maiden the first, 16 off this one.

PBKS 34/0 (4)

Prabhsimran goes for a big shot once again, it goes very, very high up. Falls for Ashwani Kumar who's at mid-wicket, but he fails to hold on. Tried to catch it reverse-cup, but just cannot hold on. Prabhsimran survives.

PBKS 29/0 (3.4)

Prabhsimran innovates! Rickelton comes up to the stumps and Prabhsimran scoops it over fine-leg for a maximum! Chahar had bowled a maiden to him in the previous over, but the PBKS opener now takes his opportunity and makes it count. Two balls later, he smashes it over the in-field for 4 through the covers.

PBKS 28/0 (3.3)

Suryakumar Yadav saves a sure-shot boundary! Terrific shot by Priyansh, hit really hard but it is stopped by a great dive from SKY at extra cover. He saves 4. Boult concedes 8 runs in his second over. Onus on Prabhsimran to accelerate now.

PBKS 18/0 (3)

Priyansh Arya has one approach: attack! Goes after Boult immediately after the maiden over by Chahar. Thick edge, flies over the 30-yard circle and gets him 4 runs. The left-hander looking in decent knick early on.

PBKS 18/0 (2.4)

Deepak Chahar bowls a maiden over! Prabhsimran Singh the batter, he got bat on ball for 5 of the 6 balls, but just doesn't manage to get a run. Excellent stuff by MI, pressure on the Punjab Kings openers early on.

PBKS 10/0 (2)

Great start by Priyansh Arya! Two cracking boundaries through the off-side against the in-form Trent Boult in the first over. 10 off the opening over. Sweet sound off the bat from Priyansh, who hasn't scored big in a couple of games.

PBKS 10/0 (1)

RECORD: Suryakumar Yadav has reached 628 runs in IPL 2025, breaking the record held by Sachin Tendulkar to score the most runs for MI in a single IPL season. Sachin had made 618 runs in 2010. A massive milestone.

No team has chased down a total of 185 against Mumbai Indians since 2020! Punjab Kings must if they want to seal a Qualifier 1 berth and take top spot in the points table. Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh out to open!

Suryakumar Yadav says that MI are 10-15 runs short! He does say that it will be a challenge for Punjab Kings to chase it down, but emphasizes that MI could have made a few more runs. Good bowling by and large by PBKS, and a target of 185 should ensure a tight encounter!

Arshdeep Singh, take a bow! Class from the left-arm seamer. 2 wickets and just 3 runs conceded in the final over, he pretty much nailed every single yorker. Gets SKY out on the last ball, 57 for him in the end. MI end on 184!

MI 184/7 (20 overs)
PBKS Target: 185

Arshdeep takes a wicket! Naman Dhir departs! Pace off, Naman goes for the pull shot, doesn't time it well enough. Priyansh Arya takes the catch at deep square-leg. Crucial wicket for PBKS with 5 balls left.

MI 181/6 (19.1)

50 FOR SKY! Suryakumar Yadav mistimes the shot, but it lands safe, they pick up two. 50 off 34 balls! And he gets a boundary on the last ball of the over too! Big, big over for MI. 23 off it! They cross 180, 200 is in sight!

MI 181/5 (19)

Naman Dhir on the charge! How often has he done this in IPL 2025? Really proving his finishing capabilities. Vyshak has bowled very well today but he is taken to the cleaners by Naman Dhir in the first two balls of the 19th over. And then SKY hits it for 4, straight back over the bowler's head. SKY up to 49!

MI 175/5 (18.4)

Oh dear, SKY has been put down! Goes for a pull shot, doesn't time it well, it was going straight to Nehal Wadhera at mid-on but he has put it down! Crucial one to put down at an important stage of the innings.

MI 158/5 (18)

Drama! Hardik Pandya slams Marco Jansen for a maximum, but then perishes next ball. Goes for a big swing again, but takes a healthy edge and it is caught behind by wicket-keeper Josh Inglis. Hardik was looking dangerous, but this is a big blow. 

MI 150/5 (16.2)

Now SKY! Into the 40s goes the ever-consistent Suryakumar Yadav. He has stepped up once again when it matters for MI. Slams a six over long-off, Jamieson hasn't hadn't a good evening. Concedes 13 in the over.

MI 144/4 (16)

Boundary again for Hardik! Thick edge as Hardik charges, and it rolls away for 4 through third man. Too fine for the fielder to catch up. The MI captain accelerating here, he is played some boundaries to begin with. Jamieson comes back with a sharp short delivery.

MI 136/4 (15.3)

5 overs to go in the Mumbai Indians innings. Suryakumar Yadav is well set. Hardik Pandya is hit a couple of boundaries. The last time MI played in Jaipur, these two stitched an explosive partnership at the back end. They'll be eyeing at least 180 from here.

MI 131/4 (15)

Hardik Pandya maximum! The Mumbai Indians captain slams a massive one for mid-wicket, against Harpreet Brar. Remember, he was dropped on 0 by Vyshak. Brar ends his spell. 1/36 in 4 overs. MI need these two batters to come good.

MI 123/4 (14)

Oh dear, Hardik Pandya has been dropped by Vijaykumar Vyshak! Second ball faced by the MI captain, he hit it straight back at Vyshak but it pops out of the bowler's hand. He is still on zero! Could that prove to be costly for Punjab Kings tonight?

MI 111/4 (12.4)

Jacks departs! Vyshak hits back! Changes his pace, slower delivery, Jacks tries the big shot again but skies it. Marco Jansen comes in from long-on and takes a comfortable catch. Jacks goes for 17 in his final match of the season.

MI 106/4 (12.3)

SIX! Will Jacks is really in the groove here. Pick-up shot, over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. He made that look effortless. 17 runs off just 7 balls now, the Englishman is putting on a show in what will be his final game of IPL 2025.

MI 106/3 (12.2)

Mumbai Indians reach the 100-run mark in the 12th over. Not a great third over by Jansen. Suryakumar is well set, Jacks has hit a boundary. Time for the duo to step things up and accelerate. PBKS have bowled well so far.

MI 100/3 (12)

Tilak departs! Vijaykumar Vyshak strikes! Vyshak with a wide yorker and Tilak ends up slicing it straight to Arshdeep Singh at third man. Tilak departs for just 1 run. Vyshak has been bowling really well so far today.

MI 87/3 (10.5)

Mumbai Indians have managed 83 runs in the first 10 overs. Suryakumar Yadav has just started playing some shots. Tilak Varma is at the crease from the other end. Punjab Kings have kept things fairly tight with the ball so far.

MI 83/2 (10)

Rohit Sharma departs! He hasn't had the best time out in the middle, tries to go big against Harpreet Brar but is out caught. Nehal Wadhera with an excellent diving catch at long-on. Rohit misses out on notching up 300 IPL sixes tonight.

MI 81/2 (9.3)

Suryakumar Yadav hits another boundary, crosses 25 yet again. He is now up to 609 runs in this IPL season, making it the best IPL campaign of his career to date. He crosses the 605-run total he made during IPL 2025.

MI 79/1 (9)

Suryakumar Yadav to the party! Classic SKY. Flick of the wrists, gets the full face of the bat, over deep square-leg for a maximum. Next ball, slammed through the covers for 4! SKY bringing out his range of strokeplay against Kyle Jamieson.

MI 75/1 (8.4)

Suryakumar Yadav is using the sweep to good effect as Brar comes in for his second over. Times one really well, and it runs away for 4 through fine-leg. Both batters taking their time to settle in still. 9 off the over.

MI 64/1 (8)

Not the best start for Suryakumar Yadav. After a boundary on his first ball, he has managed just 2 off the next 7 balls. Vijaykumar Vyshak comes in after the powerplay and bowls a miserly three-run over. Good stuff by the PBKS bowlers so far.

MI 55/1 (7)

A decent powerplay for Mumbai Indians. They're going at just short of 9 runs an over, but lost the wicket of Rickelton. The good news for them? Their two experienced batters are at the crease to take the innings forward.

MI 52/1 (6)

Mumbai Indians have sent Suryakumar Yadav up the order to No. 3! Promoting their most consistent batter, someone who has scored 25+ in every match of this season. Starts off with a risky shot, flying away for a boundary. 50 up for MI.

MI 50/1 (5.2)

OUT! Marco Jansen gets Ryan Rickelton! South African gets South African. Great back of a length delivery, Rickelton mistimes his shot, the ball goes high up but not long enough, and is caught by Shreyas Iyer at mid-wicket. 

MI 45/1 (5.1)

Rohit backs up the maximum with an excellent shot over the in-field through the off-side. Picks up 4! After taking the first few overs to settle in, Rohit has targetted the spinner and cashed in. One over to go in the powerplay, the openers nearing a 50 partnership.

MI 45/0 (5)

Harpreet Brar is the only frontline spinner in the Punjab Kings lineup today, and he has been handed the ball by the powerplay. And Rohit steps out and slams a maximum over long on! Only two sixes away from 300 now!

MI 39/0 (4.3)

Excellent shot by Ryan Rickelton! Full from Arshdeep but slammed back over his head by the South African batter for his fourth boundary of the evening. Rickelton doing the early scoring as Rohit settles into the crease. And then he brings out the pull shot two balls later, 4 more!

MI 31/0 (3.4)

Rohit Sharma gets his first boundary! He struggled to time it in Marco Jansen's first over, with the South African bowling 5 dots. But on the last ball, Rohit manages to connect and picks up a boundary over mid-off. Good shot.

MI 23/0 (3)

The South African opener is in the mood early on here. Two boundaries in the second over, bowled by Kyle Jamieson. First targets the off-side, and then cashes in over mid-on, with the fielders in the circle.

MI 17/0 (2)

We are live in Jaipur! Ryan Rickelton gets off the mark second ball, Arshdeep taking the new ball. Rickelton then slams a boundary through fine leg! Rohit Sharma is on the other end - he's three sixes away from becoming the first Indian batter to hit 300 IPL ssixes.

MI 6/0 (0.4)

We are just 5 minutes away from the start of the IPL 2025 clash between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton to open the batting, PBKS opted to bowl first! Winner seals a top-two spot. Stay tuned!

MI star Rohit Sharma is on the brink of becoming the first Indian batter to smash 300 sixes in IPL history. He is just 3 sixes away from reaching the milestone, making it very possible that it could happen today itself. He will open the batting in a few minutes.

Mumbai Indians XI vs PBKS: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.

Hardik Pandya has confirmed that Ashwani Kumar will play the game as the Impact Sub.

Punjab Kings XI vs MI: Priyansh Arya, Josh Inglis (wk), Shreyas Iyer(c), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh, Kyle Jamieson, Vijaykumar Vyshak.

Expect Prabhsimran Singh to open the batting as an Impact Player. Rs 18 crore star Yuzvendra Chahal misses out again.

Punjab Kings win the toss! Shreyas Iyer has opted to bowl after winning the toss, meaning that Mumbai Indians will be batting first. Two major bowling changes for PBKS, as Kyle Jamieson and Vijaykumar Vyshak enter the XI. Likely means no Yuzi Chahal again!

We are moments away from the toss time of the IPL 2025 clash between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians. Shreyas Iyer will lead PBKS, while Hardik Pandya is set to lead MI. However, PBKS fans will worry about the possible absence again of Rs 18 crore spinner Yuzi Chahal.

We are just 15 minutes away from toss time in Jaipur! Punjab Kings are taking on Mumbai Indians in Jaipur, in a must-win match for both sides. A win for either team will take them to the top of the IPL 2025 points table.

Here's Mumbai Indians' probable XII vs MI: Ryan Rickleton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Karn Sharma, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.
MI have a settled core and are unlikely to tinker after a big win over DC in their last match.

Here's Punjab Kings' probable XII vs MI: Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh, Praveen Dubey.

Yuzvendra Chahal was left out of PBKS' squad last time out due to injury. If he is fit, he's likely to enter.

Mumbai Indians' Kiwi pacer Trent Boult has had an exceptional up turn in form. Even at the age of 35, Boult has had a superb year. In fact, in his last 5 matches, Boult has taken as many as 13 wickets, with one four-wicket haul and two three-wicket hauls.

Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav has arguably been the best middle order batter of IPL 2025, but he is still 96 runs behind current Orange Cap leader B Sai Sudharsan. A huge knock from the ever-consistent SKY could see him right in the battle heading into the playoffs.

Both teams will be weakened heading into the playoffs. PBKS will lose two star overseas players, Marco Jansen and Josh Inglis, who will head for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. On the other hand, MI will lose South Africans Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch for the WTC, while Will Jacks will go for international duty with England.

Both Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians have exceptionally strong Indian cores. For PBKS, captain Shreyas Iyer, wicket-keeper batter Prabhsimran Singh, opener Priyansh Arya, finisher Shashank Singh and pacer Arshdeep Singh have been crucial.

On the other hand, MI have rode on the strong performances of Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma for most of their wins.

If Mumbai Indians win, they will provisionally rise to the top of the table, and PBKS instead will be confirmed an Eliminator spot. MI have the best net-run-rate among all teams in the top 4, meaning they will leapfrog GT with a victory. Once again, GT's fate will depend on RCB's result tomorrow.

If Punjab Kings win, they will rise to the top of the table, due to having a better net-run-rate than GT. MI will be confirmed 4th spot and a spot in the Eliminator of IPL 2025. Gujarat Titans will slip to second, and their fate will depend on RCB tomorrow.

The match is being held in Jaipur following the rescheduling of IPL 2025. The tournament was suspended for one week due to cross-border tension between India and Pakistan. The revised schedule saw this match moved from Dharamshala to Jaipur.

Table-toppers Gujarat Titans losing both of their final two matches has given a chance to PBKS and MI to seal a top-two finish with a win today. PBKS and MI have lost just one of their last 5 games, and will be hoping to bring their A-game tonight in Jaipur.

Sealing a top two finish and a Qualifier 1 berth allows a team to have two cracks at making the playoffs. If you win Qualifier 1, you directly go through to the final. But even if you lose, you get another shot in Qualifier 2. 

The winner of today's match will provisionally rise to the top of the IPL 2025 table, and will seal a spot in Qualifier 1. PBKS are on 17 points and MI are on 16 points as of now, but the game has huge stakes in the final fate of both sides.

A very good evening to one and all, welcome to NDTV Sports! Today is the penultimate league stage match of IPL 2025, as Punjab Kings take on Mumbai Indians in Jaipur. And it's a big one. Winner of the game seals a spot in the top two!
