Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings LIVE: Score, Highlights & Streaming Details for Today’s High-Stakes IPL Showdown
• Hot Trendy News
Fans at Jaipur witnessed a high-octane clash on Monday night as Mumbai Indians edged past Punjab Kings by 23 runs in Match 69 of the Indian Premier League 2025, keeping their playoff hopes very much alive.
First-innings fireworks
• Put in to bat, Mumbai posted a formidable 184/7 on a two-paced Sawai Mansingh surface.
• Suryakumar Yadav slammed a 34-ball 57, blending trademark scoops with classical drives to lift the run-rate after a steady Powerplay.
• Skipper Hardik Pandya (32 off 18) provided the late surge, muscling three sixes in the death overs, while Tim David’s unbeaten 21 (11 balls) ensured the momentum never dipped.
Punjab’s chase derailed
• Chasing 185, the Kings lost both openers inside four overs, rocked by Gerald Coetzee’s heavy length and Jasprit Bumrah’s trademark yorker to dismiss Prabhsimran Singh.
• Debutant Priyansh Arya counter-punched with a brisk 42 (28), sharing a fifty stand with Josh Inglis, but the asking rate ballooned once Piyush Chawla pinned Arya lbw with a googly.
• Bumrah returned at the death to remove Shreyas Iyer and Sam Curran in successive overs, sealing figures of 3/27 and the Player-of-the-Match medal. Punjab were restricted to 161/9 in 20 overs.
Playoff equation
The win lifts Mumbai to 14 points with one league game left, propelling them from sixth to fourth on net run rate and leaving them a victory away from sealing a seventh straight playoff berth. Punjab, stuck on 12 points, now need a big win in their final fixture and favourable results elsewhere to sneak into the top four.
Stat corner
• Suryakumar’s knock was his 27th IPL fifty and seventh versus Punjab, the most by any MI batter against the franchise.
• Bumrah’s third wicket took him past 170 IPL scalps, only the fifth pacer to reach the landmark.
• Mumbai’s 184/7 is their highest total at Jaipur since 2012.
What they said
Hardik Pandya: “We backed ourselves to get 180 on this pitch and the bowling unit executed perfectly at the back end.”
Shreyas Iyer: “Losing early wickets hurt; credit to their bowlers for squeezing us in the middle overs.”
Looking ahead
Mumbai travel to Chennai for a crunch encounter against the Super Kings on 29 May, while Punjab return to Mohali to host the Knight Riders in a must-win contest on 30 May. Whether the five-time champions complete a late surge or the Kings script a comeback will shape the final playoff picture in IPL 2025.
