That's It! Shreyas Iyer finishes things off in style and Punjab Kings ensure they will play the Qualifier 1 match and get the chance to make a direct entry in the final. It was a comfortable chase for them in the end and Josh Inglis and Priyansh Arya stitched a massive partnership controlling the chase throughout. A stellar season for PBKS keeps giving. 

Out! A Wicket against the run of flow. Josh Inglis goes for the lap sweep, Santner pulls back the length and Inglis gets trapped infront of the wicket. Inglis was surprised to see the DRS replay show three reads but he has played a sensational innings here. Josh Inglis lbw b Santner 73(42). 

Out! Priyansh Arya departs after a fantastic innings. Mitchell Santner keeps it short and away from Arya's arc. He swings through, doesn't get the right connection and the long off fielder takes a good catch. Too little, too late, Priyansh Arya c Suryakumar Yadav b Santner 62(35).

Another one who joins the list of fifties in this game. Priyansh Arya has been controlling the game from one end and now he has stepped on the accelerator too getting two boundaries in two balls and reaching his fifty as well. A solid partnership from the duo and they look well set to chase the target. 

Solid knock from Josh Inglis. He has displayed his high range of strokes, accessing all parts of the ground and at the same time, maintained the run rate too. Inglis has powered PBKS in front in the game and they will look to control the game from here on. 

Some quality range of strokes shown by Josh Inglis here. Ramped Ashwani Kumar twice and hit him for a down the ground shot too too gather the required runs from the over. Except Jasprit Bumrah, no other bowlers could put a break on the PBKS innings. 

Priyansh Arya has got the start and looking to make it big. He has been the sole person taking the charge in the powerplay as the other batters settle in. He will look to keep the momentum on before the others step in. 

Out! Prabhsimran Singh departs. Started well but was taking too many risks to try and give the team a positive start. Got dropped once but tried to slice a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah only for the third man fielder to run in and take a good catch. Prabhsimran c Ashwani Kumar b Bumrah 13(16).

Out! Not the best finish for Mumbai Indians. They set themselves up well in the 19th over but could accumulate only three runs in the last over and lost two wickets. MI were eying to hit the mark of 100 but it was not to be. PBKS will be happy with the bowling effort and back themselves to chase the total down. Suryakumar Yadav lbw b Arshdeep Singh 57(39).

Out! Key wicket at a key time. Hardik Pandya was looking dangerous and Punjab Kings needed to dismiss him quickly. Marco Jansen goes wide on the offside, Pandya goes through with his hands to get the ball over covers. Gets a nick and Josh Inglis takes a good catch. MI will need a good finish. Hardik Pandya c Josh Inglis b Marco Jansen 26(15).

Out! Mumbai Indians keep losing wickets. Vijaykumar Vyshak bowls a change of pace delivery, Jacks looks to go down the ground but beaten in the air. The ball goes straight up in the air and the fielder settles to take the catch. Punjab Kings keep chipping in and MI are in a bit of trouble here.  Will Jacks c Marco Jansen b Vijaykumar Vyshak 17(8).

Out! Tilak Varma's poor run in the IPL 2025 continues. Wide of offstump delivery from Vijay Kumar Vyshak, Tilak threw his bat at it and the ball took an outside edge and carried to the fine leg fielder in the deep. Not the best season for him till now. Tilak Varma c Arshdeep Singh b Vijaykumar Vyshak 1(4).

Out! Big wicket for Punjab Kings as Rohit Sharma departs. Was not getting enough rhythm and had to take on the spinners. Goes to smash Brar but miscues it and the deep fielder runs in to take a very good catch. Rohit c Nehal Wadhera b Harpreet Brar 24(21).

Out! Ryan Rickelton departs after a short cameo. With Rohit Sharma teeing off at the other end, Rickelton tried to take on Marco Jansen as well but skied the ball which was well-taken by the circle fielder. PBKS get a key wicket but MI got a decent start in powerplay.  Rickelton c Shreyas Iyer b Marco Jansen 27(20) .

Mumbai Indians are looking to get a steady start here. Ryan Rickelton has started to take on the bowlers and has stepped on the accelerator, while Rohit Sharma rotating the strike on one end. They will want some big overs here.
