In a crucial IPL 2025 encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Punjab Kings (PBKS) outclassed Mumbai Indians (MI) with a comprehensive 7-wicket win, chasing down 185 with ease to secure a spot in the top two of the league standings.
Batting first, MI posted a competitive total of 184/7, thanks to a fluent half-century by Suryakumar Yadav, who also surpassed a long-standing record previously held by Sachin Tendulkar. However, their effort was overshadowed by PBKS’s brilliant run chase.
Josh Inglis (73 off 42 balls) and Priyansh Arya (62 off 35 balls) stitched together a match-winning 109-run partnership, dismantling MI’s bowling attack. The victory was sealed in style as captain Shreyas Iyer finished the game with a towering six, prompting emotional celebrations from co-owner Preity Zinta.
Josh Inglis was deservedly named Player of the Match for his impactful innings.
With this win, PBKS not only avenged their earlier loss but also booked a coveted Qualifier 1 spot, putting them in a strong position for the playoffs.
