Predicting MI’s Playing XI for Qualifier 2 clash against PBKS

The Mumbai Indians are all set to lock horns against the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on June 1 at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. Hardik Pandya and his men will be leaving no stone unturned in lifting their sixth title in IPL history.

The five-time IPL champions head to this game after eliminating IPL 2022 champions and 2023 finalists Gujarat Titans in the last game. The side aims to continue its stellar run in this game. Given below is the probable playing XI of the Mumbai Indians in this game.

Openers: Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow

The two flamboyant opening batters have been in outstanding form and aim to dominate against Punjab Kings bowlers in the power plays. Rohit has made 81 off 50 balls, featuring nine fours and four sixes in the eliminator clash, and played a huge role in guiding the side to win the game. Bairstow also made a stellar debut for the side, having made 47 off 22 runs.

Batters: Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir

SKY is one of the batters to watch out for in this game. He has made 33 off 20 balls, while Varma has made 25 off 11 balls in this game. Dhir will be looking to boost the top and middle order of the game.

All-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Mitchell Santner

Pandya and Santner have been the match winners in these conditions. The duo will be looking to perform with both bat and ball to pose a big threat to the Punjab Kings in this game. Pandya has the potential to significantly impact the Ahmedabad pitch, having previously led his former franchise, GT, to the title in 2022.

Bowlers: Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Richard Gleeson, Ashwani Kumar

Boult is one of the main pacers of the side alongside Bumrah. The duo is the world’s most lethal bowlers, having been roped in by MI. They will be aiming to pose a big threat to the in-form Punjab Kings batting unit in this game. Gleeson played the last game very well and aims to continue his form in this game. Ashwani has been in stellar form.
