The winner will advance to the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Punjab Kings PBKS, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, have had a remarkable season, reaching the playoffs for only the third time in their history. Their batting lineup has been bolstered by the emergence of Priyansh Arya, who scored a rapid century earlier in the season, and consistent performances from players like Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis. In the bowling department, Arshdeep Singh has been a standout performer, becoming the highest wicket-taker in Punjab Kings' IPL history. Despite their lack of playoff experience, PBKS will be eager to capitalize on their momentum and secure a spot in the final.

After defeating the Gujarat Titans by 20 runs in the Eliminator, MI will be aiming to continue their winning streak. Their batting lineup features stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, while the bowling attack is spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah. However, MI's record at the Narendra Modi Stadium has been less than stellar, which could pose a challenge in this crucial match.
