PBKS vs MI Playing 11: What will the winning combination be for Mumbai & Punjab? Check predicted XI & head-to-head

In a high-stakes showdown on Monday, the Mumbai Indians (MI) will face off against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their final league match of IPL 2025, with both teams vying for a coveted top-two finish in the standings.

Currently sitting in second place with 17 points, PBKS risks dropping to third or fourth if they fall to MI, which could lead them into the Eliminator round. To cement their top-two position, a victory against MI is essential.

On the other hand, MI, armed with a strong Net Run Rate, is poised to enter the top tier with a win over PBKS, provided other match results favor them. The MI bowling lineup is spearheaded by the in-form Jasprit Bumrah, who has taken 16 wickets in 9 matches, and is well-supported by Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar.

Meanwhile, PBKS's bowling attack, which faltered in their recent defeat to Delhi Capitals, will need to significantly improve.
