CaribbeanCricket.com - Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians, Qualifier 2

Narper 6/1/25, 1:15:54 PM

debut: 1/4/03
265,435 runs

What to expect: With the pitch under covers, making a prediction is tricky, but a high-scoring contest appears likely.

Of the 14 innings played in Ahmedabad during IPL 2025, nine have seen totals in excess of 200, the most at any single venue in a single IPL season.

That trend is expected to continue on Sunday night, unless one side suffers a dramatic meltdown, as Punjab did in Qualifier 1. Teams batting first have won six of the seven games with the only win for a chasing side coming in a day game.

So the captain winning the toss may choose to bat.

Oh dear! There is a slight drizzle. Covers are on. The square is being covered. There are a few dark clouds overhead. Hope the wind blows them away soon. Groundsmen still not covering the whole square. Few of the pitches on the side are visible.

Great news. Covers coming off!

Players getting ready. We will have a slightly delayed start but should start in a matter of minutes

Just in a couple of minutes the rain is coming down hard now. Players leave the dugout to go the dressing rooms. But there is still a strong breeze blowing across. Few players have stayed back in the dugout

Covers coming off! Super sopper swings into action

Umbrellas are down, so we should see covers coming off shortly. Super sopper waits for its signal.

This is frustrating. The rain is back. Groundsmen rushing to get the covers back on. The wait continues. Interestingly, they aren't using a cloth or a hessian on the pitch before putting on the main cover. PBKS players stay out for some footy. Rain is not heavy, but it's there!

How epic would it be if PBKS finally lifts the IPL trophy? After all these years, seeing a first-time champion rise would bring a whole new thrill to the league. Fresh stories, new heroes — it’s exactly the kind of shake-up the IPL needs!

Stoinis to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, No. 3 is a number he loves to bat and he straightaway gets going at the crease. Full and on the stumps, Tilak moves across and flicks, almost flew off the leading edge but cleared mid-wicket

Topley to Priyansh Arya, SIX, picks the slower-ball and deposits it for six. Was a half-volley outside off, tried the back of the hand slower-ball and it did not pitch where he wanted it to, Priyansh Arya gets forward and lofts cleanly and clears the long-on fence

Bumrah to Josh Inglis, SIX, he has smashed this. A slower-ball off-cutter again, full outside off, Josh Inglis gets forward and slams it high and over long-on, picked the bones out of it
4.6
Bumrah to Josh Inglis, SIX, over Topley at third man. Bumrah has his hands on his head. 20 off the over. Not often do you see Bumrah going for 20. This is short of length outside off, Josh Inglis is on his tiptoes as he deals with the rising delivery, slashes and the top-edge just clears the leaping Topley, the tallest man on the field right now

Ashwani Kumar to Priyansh Arya, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Ashwani Kumar strikes first ball. A hard back of a length delivery just outside off, Priyansh Arya tries to slug it to leg, off the thick outer half of the bat and it's a simple catch to mid-off. The bat turned in his hands and that foiled all timing. Hardik takes it and does a little jig. MI break the threatening stand.
