The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025’s qualifier-2 will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (Mi) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today. While the Mumbai team is confidently confident, Punjab had to face a crushing defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier-1. Now this match will be like a ‘virtual semi -finals’ for both teams, where the winning team will make it to the finals directly and will take on RCB.

Mumbai Indians, running in excellent form, have made a strong comeback by defeating Gujarat Titans in Eliminator. On the other hand, the Punjab team, playing under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, is looking for their first IPL Trophy, but after the last defeat, their path seems difficult.

Heat and humidity will be affected

The weather in Ahmedabad on Sunday is going to be hot and humid. The temperature will be between 27 to 36 degrees Celsius and the wind speed can be 15 to 30 kilometers per hour. Humidity is expected to be between 51 and 64 percent. Although 10 percent of the rain has been expressed, the sky is expected to remain clear during the match. In such a situation, the possibility of rain disturbance in the match is very low.

Pitch report of Narendra Modi Stadium

This season has been played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad so far, out of which the team who batted 6 times has won. The team that chased only once could win and that too in the match played during the day. Looking at this figure, it is clear that the team that will win the toss can decide to bat first. Especially in important matches, where the pressure is high, the strategy of scoring runs on the score board can prove to be beneficial.

Mumbai Indians confident

After defeating the Gujarat Titans in the eliminator match, Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians proved that he is fully ready to win the title for the sixth time. On the other hand, Punjab Kings lost by 8 wickets at the hands of RCB in Qualifier-1, which has raised questions on their strategy. Now it will be seen whether PBKs, led by Shreyas Iyer, will be able to return to this big match or Mumbai Indians will confirm their place in another final.
