IPL 2025: Top 3 bowlers to watch out for in PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 game

The Punjab Kings will play the qualifier 2 match against the Mumbai Indians. MI won comfortably against the Gujarat Titans despite some good batting efforts from Sai Sudharshan. The Mumbai team must defeat the PBKS team to enter their seventh IPL finals. The Mumbai-based franchise won five of the six IPL finals they have played. This is the right time to get their sixth crown under the new captain, Hardik Pandya.

PBKS, on the other hand, lost their opportunity in the first qualifier. But as their captain, Shreyas Iyer, said, they ‘lost the battle, not the war.’ Under his leadership, the Punjab Kings are looking mighty even with more number of uncapped players. They will give a hard time to the more experienced lineup of the Mumbai team. But bowlers will be the biggest strength for both teams, and let us see the top 3 bowlers to watch out for in this playoff game.

1. Jasprit Bumrah (Fast Bowling)

Bumrah will always be the number 1 bowler in any team, and with his impactful bowling, he can destroy any opposition in the world. Mumbai indians are grateful to have Bumrah as their go-to bowler, and he can have a big impact in the upcoming playoffs match against the Punjab Kings. PBKS has the strongest top-order batting lineup, and most of the runs they score are contributed by their openers and top-order batters. Bumrah can give them the breakthrough and pierce the PBKS batting lineup.

2. Arshdeep Singh (Fast Bowling)

Punjab’s lead bowler is none other than indian pacer Arshdeep Singh. The tall bowler from Punjab can bowl both opening spells and death overs. With his pace and swing, he can threaten the Opening batters of the Mumbai indians. His extra bounce is a threat to Rohit Sharma and newcomer Jonny Bairstow. MI will have to put a lot more effort into countering Arshdeep at least for the initial phase of the game.

3. Mitchell Santner (Left-arm Spin)

The New Zealand captain is one of the best spin bowlers this season. His sharp and slower turners will be a big threat to the Shreyas Iyer-led team. Inexperience in the PBKS Batting lineup is also a great opportunity for Santner and he can even open the bowling attack starting from the first over of the game.
