Punjab Kings dropped to third after their clash with Delhi Capitals was cut short due to a power failure. There's no official word yet on whether the match will be replayed or if each side will take home a point each.
Before the stoppage, Punjab had stormed to 122-1 in just 10.1 overs thanks to a blazing start from Priyansh Arya (70 off 34) and Prabhsimran Singh (50* off 28). Prabhsimran has now piled up 487 runs in 12 innings, striking at 171. Priyansh isn’t far behind—417 runs from 12 outings at a rapid 194.85.
They’ve set the tone early in most games and been central to Punjab’s campaign. In the middle overs, Shreyas Iyer has done a solid job with 405 runs in 11 innings at a rate of 170. He’s stayed calm and dependable.
Nehal Wadhera has played his part with useful knocks, batting at around 150. His contributions haven’t been big on paper but have helped shift momentum.
Marcus Stoinis remains unpredictable but can be dangerous late in the innings. Shashank Singh has taken on the finishing role quietly but has delivered under pressure more than once.
Arshdeep Singh leads the wicket charts with 16 in 10 innings, giving up just 8 an over. Marco Jansen hasn’t found rhythm, and there isn’t much in the reserves.
Yuzvendra Chahal can be expensive when he’s not on point, which can undo pressure built from the other end. But if both he and Arshdeep get it right, Punjab will be tough to stop.

Mumbai Indians were flying with five wins on the bounce, but their run hit a bump with a narrow loss to Gujarat Titans at home. That dropped them from second to fourth. They’re still in the playoff mix with two games to go, but at 12 points, there's no more room for error. They’ve got the squad to push through, though they’ll need a bit of luck too.
The top order is doing a solid job. Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have all put in solid starts. Rohit’s looked in rhythm again, with three fifties in his last five outings. Rickelton has hammered two fifties in his last three, and Jacks just hit one against GT. They’re setting solid platforms.
The middle order, though, is where the real push is coming from. Suryakumar Yadav is on another level—510 runs in 12 matches, averaging 63.75, and going at 170.56. He’s in the zone and looks good for another 30-plus this time, too. Tilak Varma’s keeping the pressure on with quick runs and intent, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have added the finishing touches in tight spots.
Pandya’s doing his bit with the ball as well—13 wickets with an economy of 9.17. Deepak Chahar has picked up 10 wickets but has been leaky at the death, including in the last game, which slipped away. Trent Boult has delivered both early on and in the final overs, and Jasprit Bumrah is starting to look dangerous again—eight wickets in his last three. If these two fire late, that could swing things MI’s way.

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket – it’s good for batting but has something in it for pacers and slower bowlers too. Batting tends to get tougher in the second innings as the wickets starts to become slower.
The weather in Ahmedabad will be hot and dry with no forecast of rain.

Average TurnNarendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has an average first innings score of 173. The highest total recorded at the venue is Punjab Kings’ massive 243-5 against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. With the surface starting to slow down a bit over the past couple of weeks, both sides are likely aiming for something in the 190-200 range in the first innings.
Four of the five games played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first. This record is likely to push both teams to bat first in this game.
Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians are both pushing hard for a playoff spot. If Punjab win, they’re almost through to the top four. If Mumbai win, they stay alive in the race. Both teams are in good touch and look solid across departments, making this one tough to call. Punjab have the edge right now based on how they’re playing. But Mumbai, with five titles under their belt, know how to handle pressure. This could go either way, with Mumbai holding a narrow 51-49 edge.
