During the rain delay in the qualifier 2 at Ahmedabad, the Punjab Kings players were engaged in a unique game between themselves. Apparently, a ballgame, but the target was Priyansh Arya. The players, mainly Suryansh Shedge, Yash Thakur, and Musheer Khan, had to target Priyansh's back with the ball. However, most of the players missed the target, leaving Priyansh visibly disappointed.

However, Rohit Sharma (8) was the first one to depart. Despite a life managed from a drop-catch off by Shreyas Iyer, he could not turn it big, as Marcus Stoinis bagged him in that very same over, with Vyshak completing an easy catch. Jonny Bairstow was the one pacing up the run rate, trying to keep it around 10. However, he departed, scoring 38 runs off 24 balls, trying to reverse sweep a knuckle ball from Vijayakumar Vyshak. Mumbai Indians posted a competitive 203/6 in their 20 overs at a run rate of 10.15, thanks to strong middle-order performances. Tilak Varma (44 off 29) and Suryakumar Yadav (44 off 26) anchored the innings with identical scores but different strike rates—151.72 and 169.23 respectively. Naman Dhir provided late firepower with a blazing 37 off just 18 balls at a strike rate of 205.55. Skipper Hardik Pandya managed 15 from 13 before falling to Omarzai, who picked up 2/43 in his spell. Kyle Jamieson stood out with the ball, returning economical figures of 1/30 in his 4 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal and Marcus Stoinis picked up a wicket each, but both conceded at nearly 10 runs per over. Arshdeep Singh remained wicketless and expensive, leaking 44 runs in his full quota. Despite early setbacks, MI’s explosive hitting in the death overs ensured they crossed the 200-run mark, setting a stiff target for Punjab.
