IPL 2025: MI Playing XI against PBKS | Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians

After the exciting action over the last two months, IPL 2025 is now nearing completion, with just two matches remaining.

The game is expected to be very exciting, as the winner of this match will reach the finals and play against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 4 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This article will discuss the Mumbai Indians’ expected playing XI for the upcoming match.

Mumbai Indians started their season in a disappointing way, losing four of the five matches, but after that, Mumbai Indians made a huge comeback, surprising everyone by winning the next four matches in a row.
