What does PBK need to do to defeat MI in Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad?

In the only conflict between PBK and MI in IPL 2025, Punjab Kings won by seven wickets.
In the history of IPL, PBK and MI have faced 32 times with Mumbai winning on 17 occasions, and Punjab won 15 times. But this time in IPL 2025, when both teams faced once on 26 May, it was Shreyas Iyer’s team, who crossed the line with 7 wickets in hand.
After setting the target of 185, Mi PBKS could not stop the batsmen, and was lost in only 18.3 overs. For East, Suryakumar Yadav scored the top with 57, while Priyanus Arya (62) and Josh England (73) returned with a half -century for Iyer’s team. Bowling Wise, Marco Jansen and Arshdeep Singh took four wickets to reduce the opposition. And perhaps he catches the blueprint for a win pbks – such as how to know about the business in qualifier 2 on Sunday, when they meet the same team.
PBKS is for Mi
Play perfect xi: Regardless of whether there is no clarity, if leg -spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is fit or not, but if it is, he should directly be drafts in the sheep at the expense of Azmatullah Omarjai or Kyle Jaimison. He could be a good bet against Suryakumar Yadav, the best batsman of MI, and rejected him three times in 12 innings. Even more importantly, out of 71 balls, he has given 29 dots. So this is a high percentage.
Harpreet Brar a Must: The team should also go with the left -handed spinner who has been excellent. He has 10 wickets in 8 matches, 8.63 in economy. In the previous match vs. MI, he got the wicket of Rohit Sharma’s price .. So Shreyas should watch to use that trick again.
Watch out for Jaspreet Bumrah: The biggest threat to PBKS batting line up will only be Bumrah. The bowler has 24 wickets against him in 17 innings, only in the economy of 6.23. If the batsmen can somehow avoid their early bursting, they will be in a position to capital later.
Not for Punjab kings
Priyash Arya and Prabhasimran Missfiring: The opening pair has been one of the best batting pairs, and if they fail, it can trigger a collapse, just as what happened against RCB.
Failure of Shreyas Iyer: Captain has scored 516 runs this year, and needs to maintain good work. If he stays on the wicket, he will change the game alone. This will create a lot of confidence in the team. Therefore, the Captain’s good performance is somehow proportional to the team’s good performance. And PBK cannot make a bad effort from skipper.
