PBKS vs MI Live Score: Ashwani Kumar is welcomed with a six by Nehal Wadhera but it is the bowler, who'll have the final laugh. He gets Mumbai the much-needed breakthrough and packs Wadhera for 48(29), who is caught by Mitchell Santner just outside mid-off.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Jasprit Bumrah is reintroduced and he bowls a tight over, which results in just seven runs.

Reece Topley is reintroduced from the other end and Shreyas Iyer takes his chances against the English pacer and gets a maximum. Iyer doesn't stop there as he hammers yet another maximum, two sixes in a row, which also brings up the 50-run partnership between him and Wadhera. The show by Iyer continues and he now hammers another maximum, pitched up by Topley and Iyer says thank you very much. PBKS 128/3 (13 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: A tidy start by Mitchell Santner as just six runs come off his over.

Hardik Pandya introduces himself in the attack and he too starts tidy as he concedes two runs in the first four balls. There is a caught-behind appeal against Inglis in the fifth ball, which is given caught-behind by the umpire. Inglis takes a review but UltraEdge confirms there was an edge. Inglis falls for 38(21). PBKS: 72/3 (7.5 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Ashwani Kumar strikes in his first over and brings an end to the dangerous 42-run stand between Josh Inglis and Priyansh Arya. The latter is dismissed for 20(10) in the first ball of his over as Shreyas Iyer joins the run chase.

Punjab Kings manage 64/2 in the powerplay. They need 140 runs in 84 balls.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Priyansh Arya hammers a six against Reece Topley as PBKS reach 35/1 in 4 overs.

Jasprit Bumrah is introduced in the attack but he is not allowed to settle by Josh Inglis, who hammers the pacer for two boundaries and the same number of maximums. 20 runs come from his over as PBKS race to 55/1 in 5 overs.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Josh Inglis joins the chase and he starts with a couple of boundaries against Trent Boult. Priyansh Arya gets another boundary in the next over bowled by Reece Topley. PBKS: 27/1 (3.3 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The chase begins as Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya hit a boundary each in the first two overs bowled by Trent Boult and Reece Topley. There could have been more but commendable fielding efforts saved a couple of them at least.

Meanwhile, Boult strikes in his second over as Prabhsimran miscues his shot and is caught by Topley, who covers a good distance before grabbing the ball almost at deep square. The batter falls for 6(9). PBKS: 13/1 (2.1 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Arshdeep comes to bowl the penultimate over and he is hit for a couple of boundaries by Naman Dhir.

The batter then finds a gap in the next over by Azmatullah Omarzai, following which he ends up driving a ball straight to Marcus Stoinis at covers. He falls for 37(18).

Mumbai Indians post 203/6 in 20 overs.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Punjab Kings introduce impact substitute as Prabhsimran comes in for Yuzvendra Chahal. A bit of lapse in concentration by the substitute fielder and he ends up conceding a boundary, which should have been a single.

Meanwhile, the over by Azmatullah Omarzai does result in a wicket as Hardik Pandya gets a top edge while attempting to hook a short ball by the pacer and it lands safely in Josh Inglis' gloves. Pandya falls for 15(13). MI: 180/5 (18 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Vijaykumar Vyshak keeps it tight from the other end but a needless throw in the final ball results in a boundary in the form of overthrows.

Arshdeep is reintroduced and he is hit for consecutive fours by Naman Dhir, who hits the ball over the short fine-leg fielder on both occasions. MI 166/4 (16.4 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Kyle Jamieson reduces the pace just before releasing the ball and Tilak Varma fails to read it. He goes for a wild swing and mistimes it completely. Priyansh Arya does the rest as he covers a good distance and collects the catch comfortably at mid-off. Tilak falls for 44(29).

Two set batters depart in quick succession as Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir hold fort. MI: MI 144/4 (14.3 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Yuzvendra Chahal gets hammered by Suryakumar Yadav but the spinner gets his wicket at 44(26). Suryakumar is caught by Nehal Wadhera at deep as Chahal conceded 1/39 in his four overs. MI: 142/3 (14 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav smashes a couple of boundaries against Kyle Jamieson, while the other four balls result in dots. MI: 131/2 (13 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav welcomes Yuzvendra Chahal with a six, which oozes style right from the moment it connects the bat. Kyle Jamieson, the tall fielder, leaps and tries his best to save it from sailing over the ropes but it will be an unsuccessful attempt.

The spinner recovers well and concedes five singles in the remaining five balls. MI: 123/2 (12 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Tilak Varma frustrates Punjab Kings as he hits Azmatullah Omarzai for a boundary in the first ball of his over. Just one boundary but two doubles ensure 10 runs came from the over. MI 112-2 (11 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Yuzvendra Chahal is smoked for a SIX by Suryakumar Yadav, who sweeps the ball on the leg stump over the fine-leg fence. He then ends the over with a cut, which results in a boundary. Mumbai reach 102/2 at the halfway mark.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Tilak Varma is doing what he is expected to do. He hits Vijaykumar Vyshak for a boundary and then hammers a six in the fifth delivery of his over as 15 runs come from it. It's time for a strategic time-out. MI: 88-2 (9 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Yuzvendra Chahal, playing his first match since May 18, starts with an economical over, which results in just three singles. MI 73-2 (8 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Vijaykumar Vyshak breaks the 51-run stand between Jonny Bairstow and Tilak Varma in the final ball of his first over. Bairstow goes for a scoop but ends up handing a simple catch to Josh Inglis at 38(24). MI: 70/2 (7 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Azmatullah Omarzai is introduced in the final over of the powerplay as the partnership between Jonny Bairstow and Tilak Varma start to appear threatening. Bairstow welcomes the pacer with a boundary and three balls later dispatches him over the mid-wicket fence. Insane batting by the "temporary replacement". MI: 62/1 (5.4 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Kyle Jamieson keeps it tight from his end but Mumbai are scoring at a run-rate of 10 per over. After five overs, MI reach 50/1.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Arshdeep Singh rejoins the attack after a gap of one over. Maybe a change of end for the pacer. He is driven for a boundary in the third ball through covers by Bairstow. The final ball of the over is kept short and Bairstow gets a top edge, which helps the ball sail over the wicketkeeper and roll away for a boundary. MI: 43/1 (4 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: This time Rohit Sharma fails to capitalise on the drop catch. He welcomes Marcus Stoinis with a boundary but is caught by Vijaykumar Vyshak in the next ball. Rohit falls for 8(7).

Tilak Varma joins the action and starts with a six, follows it up with another maximum, which is also a no-ball. The free-hit results in a single. MI: 29/1 (2.4 overs)

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Kyle Jamieson shares the new ball duties with Arshdeep. He bowls a short ball, the third delivery of the over, and Bairstow pulls it for a six towards long leg.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is dropped in the fifth ball. He was batting on 3.

Rohit made Gujarat Titans pay for the dropped chances in the previous match, which was an Eliminator, will it be the case tonight?

PBKS vs MI Live Score: A slow start by Mumbai as four runs come from the first over.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rohit Sharma-Jonny Bairstow arrive in the middle. Arshdeep Singh leads the attack for Punjab Kings.

First innings: 9.45pm - 11.15pm

Interval: 11.15pm - 11.25pm

Second innings: 11.25pm - 12.55am

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The action will start at 9:45 pm and there is no reduction in overs.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rain has stopped and the last bit of covers is being taken care of by the groundstaffs. Meanwhile, the good news from the centre is 9:40 pm is the cut-off time for a full 20-overs a side match.

- PBKS won the toss and chose to bowl

- Shortly after toss it started to rain, it stopped in between before it restarted

- 9.30pm is the latest for a full 20-over a side match

- Post 9:30pm we start losing overs

- 11.56pm is the latest we can have a five-overs-a-side match

- If abandoned, Punjab Kings advance to the final

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Well a washout is the last thing we can expect despite rain playing hide and seek at the moment. However, in worst case scenario, Punjab Kings will move to the final due to their superior position on the points table after the conclusion of league stage. Punjab had finished first, while Mumbai came fourth.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The cut-off time for a full 20 overs a side is 9:30 pm, which is 120 minutes extra from the scheduled start. If action doesn't start before 9:30 pm, we'll have a rain curtailed Qualifier 2.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The intensity has increased and players, groundstaff, and spectators rush to take cover.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The rain had stopped a while ago, and right when the umpires asked the staffs to peel off the covers the pouring restarts.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: It seems like rain is going to play hide and seek throughout the night as drizzle is back and we continue to wait.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rain has stopped, as we wait for a call from the umpires on the resumption.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: It is getting frustrating out there as rain returns in Ahmedabad and the covers are back on. Meanwhile, PBKS players engage in some football skill by forming a small circle. We can also see MI coach Mahela Jayawardene and Kieron Pollard engaged in a chat at some distance.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The umpires finish the ground inspection and the good news is that the match will start at 8:25 pm. It is almost an hour delay from the scheduled time.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The Punjab Kings players are out and are doing their warm-ups as we wait for the groundstaffs to dry the field. Action to start shortly if rain remains away for the rest of the night. The covers are being removed.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: It appears that it is no longer raining at the moment. Umpires and other groundstaffs had umbrellas with them but it remains closed. However, there is quite some water on the covers, which suggests that the outfield should be wet too. It's now time for the field to get ready and hope that rain doesn't show up again. Meanwhile, the cover remains intact.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: The players wait in the dugout as rain continues to pour at the venue. The full square is now covered as we hope for a respite.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rain arrives once again in Ahmedabad. Groundsmen back at duty as players, who were about to make way to center, rush back to the dugout. This time it is slightly heavier.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Loud cheers in the stadium as covers have started to come off. The conditions, however, remain overcast.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Right when we were getting ready for the action to start, a slight drizzle has forced the ground to be covered. There are dark clouds around but we hope it doesn't stay for long.

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Jonny Bairstow(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Raj Bawa, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Reece Topley

Punjab Kings: Priyansh Arya, Josh Inglis(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai, Kyle Jamieson, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Punjab Kings win toss, opt to bowl first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Live: Mumbai Indians have lost five matches in a row at the Narendra Modi Stadium and won only once out of the six that they have taken part in at this venue.

PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Live: Arshdeep Singh vs Rohit Sharma will be a battle to watchout for. Arshdeep has dismissed Rohit once this season and 'Hitman' has been dismissed four times against left-arm pace this season.

PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Live: Both teams have some injury concern and considering the magnitude of the match, management wouldn't risk fielding an injured name. If we look at the injury list - Yuzvendra Chahal (Punjab Kings) and Deepak Chahar (Mumbai Indians) - are high profile names. Meanwhile, MI pacer Richard Gleeson too had walked off the field in the previous encounter. It'll be interesting to see if any among the three are ready to take the field tonight.

PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Live: Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians' batting appears equally venomous with Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav firing on cylinders and even Tilak Varma, who didn't have the best outings this season, starting to step up. Temporary replacement Jonny Bairstow too made an instant impact, showcasing the balance in both departments - batting and bowling.

PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Live: Jasprit Bumrah has been typically lethal this season — 18 wickets in just 11 matches, maintaining his reputation as Mumbai’s strike weapon. Trent Boult, too, has been relentless, picking up 21 wickets in 15 matches.

For Punjab’s batters, already wounded by the Hazlewood-led assault, this is a psychological test as much as a technical one.

PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Live: Mumbai Indians have momentum on their side as they head into the Qualifier 2 with eight wins in last 10 matches. They will look to continue the impressive show in the win-or-bust encounter tonight.

PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Live: Punjab Kings began the IPL 2025 season at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and even if they reach the finals or not it will certainly end at the same venue. However, for the season they've enjoyed, barring the RCB demolition in the previous encounter, Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting will hope for two more matches as the one in March 25, which saw Punjab hammer 243 for 5 and beat Gujarat Titans by 11 runs to start the season with a bang.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Previous record suggest that teams batting first have dominated at this venue. If we look at the number, six times out of the seven games here have been won by teams batting first. The only time a chasing side won was a day game. The trend may tempt captain winning the toss tonight to opt to bat.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: History at the venue suggest that a high-scoring contest should be anticipated when PBKS and MI lock horns. Out of the 14 innings played at the Narendra Modi Stadium this season, nine times teams have breached the 200 mark, which is the most at any single venue in an IPL edition.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: If we look at the Head-to-Head battle, Punjab Kings have won thrice in the last five outings, while Mumbai Indians have won the remaining two times. However, overall Mumbai have a slender edge with 17 wins as compared to Punjab's 16. Meanwhile, MI's record in Qualifier 2 is two wins and the same number of losses. PBKS, on the other hand, have played in Qualifier 2 only once, which was back in 2014. Then Punjab beat Chennai Super Kings by 24 runs.
