IPL 2025: Match 69, PBKS vs MI Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between PBKS vs MI?

Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 69 of the ongoing IPL 2025 (Indian Premier League) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, May 26.

PBKS squandered a golden opportunity to move to the top of the table on Saturday, May 24, as they lost to Delhi Capitals in a high-scoring thriller in Jaipur. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is stationed at No. 2 on the standings, having earned 17 points from 13 games. They will have one eye on the Gujarat Titans’ clash against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. The Titans have 18 points from 13 matches and are leading the points table. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are breathing down PBKS’ neck with 17 points from 13 matches, but their net run rate (NRR) is lower.

These three teams are fighting for the top two positions on the points table. However, the Mumbai Indians are also in contention with 16 points from 13 games. The Hardik Pandya-led side has the best NRR in the tournament. Thier six-match winning streak was snapped by the Titans but they snatched a vital win against Delhi Capitals to qualify for the playoffs.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report:

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has hosted six matches in the IPL 2025. The average first-innings score has been over 200. Teams batting first as well as chasing teams have won three games each. In the last game between Punjab and Delhi, there was some variable bounce, but still both teams scored more than 200 runs. If the top-order batters fire, teams can easily post 200-plus totals at this venue. The captain who wins the toss would want to chase as the team batting first would have the pressure of scoring big runs.
