IPL 2025: PBKS Playing XI Against MI | Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians ( Qualifier 2 )

After playing consistent cricket throughout the season but disappointing in the first qualifier, Punjab Kings will have their last chance to reach the finals after almost a decade. In the last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the team showed disappointing batting, collapsing to just 101 runs in 14 overs and losing the match by eight wickets. However, since the team finished the group stage in the top 2, they will have two chances to reach the finals. The team will play the second qualifier against the Mumbai Indians. This article will discuss their expected lineup for the upcoming match.
Punjab's bowling attack will have two overseas fast bowlers, Azmatullah Omarzai and Kyle Jamieson, in the pace department, as well as the star Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh. In the spin department, the team is likely to have Yuzvendra Chahal, whose injury is expected to heal by the match and Harpreet Brar, who will bowl some crucial middle overs.
