Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) have played against each other 32 times in the history of IPL. Among them, Mumbai Indias has won 17 matches while Punjab Kings has emerged victorious in 15 matches. But when they competed against each other on May 26 earlier in IPL 2025, PBKS was the dominant team. Shreyas Iyer's side chased a target of 185 runs in 18.3 overs and emerged victorious by 7 wickets. That victory can be PBKS's blueprint on how to beat MI once more in Qualifier 2. Here are five things Punjab Kings should do right to win Qualifier 2 against MI. 5 Things PBKS Must Do to Beat MI Choose the Right XI If Yuzvendra Chahal is available, he has to play. He has troubled Suryakumar Yadav earlier, getting him out three times in 12 matches and bowling 29 dot balls out of 71. Chahal may be brought into the place of Azmatullah Omarzai or Kyle Jamieson.

Harpreet Brar is Essential The left-arm spinner has taken 10 wickets in 8 matches and bowled well against MI earlier too, taking the wicket of Rohit Sharma. He should definitely be in the playing XI as he can also contribute with the bat if the situation demands. Survive Bumrah’s Spell Jasprit Bumrah is MI’s biggest weapon. He has taken 24 wickets against PBKS in just 17 matches and gives away runs at only 6.23 per over. Bumrah is someone who can break partnerships of his own terms and he has proved it time and again. PBKS batters must play him carefully in his spell of four overs. Also Read | Will Suryakumar Yadav Miss Qualifier 2? MI Coach Drops Big Update Avoid Openers Collapse Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been solid at the top for Punjab Kings in this season, but if they both get out early, the rest of the batting collapses – just like it did against RCB. Iyer's Form is Crucial Skipper Shreyas Iyer has been leading from the front this season, with 516 runs. If he does well, the rest of the team gets inspired. But if he fails, the team might suffer greatly as he plays the role of an anchor and shifts the gear whenever required. Losing his wicket early will be a huge blunder for PBKS.
