IPL 2025: PBKS vs MI Match Prediction, Who Will Win Today Match 69?

In the last six head-to-head encounters between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Mumbai Indians (MI), both teams enjoyed an equal dominance of 3-3. Both franchises are in a spot to earn victory and qualify as the top two sides of IPL 2025.

Punjab will host the five-time champions in their last group-stage event at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 26, 2025. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is currently in the second position with eight victories in 13 encounters at a net run rate of +0.327.

Mumbai, which is in fourth position with as many wins at a better net run rate of +1.292, will have a chance to dodge the side if they earn a victory. Going into the PBKS vs. MI fixture, the pressure will be huge on both sides.

During their last defeat against the Delhi Capitals (DC), Punjab was not on point with their bowling department in the middle overs. They leaked many runs without collecting wickets, which created pressure on them. In the absence of Yuzvendra Chahal, Praveen Dubey finished with 1/20.

Their new ball pace attack couldn’t get the wicket up front with Azmatullah Omarzai ending on 0/46 in four overs. However, they could be satisfied with the batting as the skipper celebrated a half-century while Marcus Stoinis remained unbeaten on 44 runs in 16 deliveries.

Meanwhile, Mumbai is coming into the PBKS vs MI clash off a win. Their top order didn’t contribute apart from Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 73-run knock. However, Naman Dhir made the biggest impact with 24 unbeaten runs in eight balls.
