Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians, Qualifier 2

Look at the celebrations from the PBKS camp. Preity Zinta is bubbling away. Surya meanwhile wipes the sweat from his face. Mahela has a word with Paras Mhambrey. Ponting too is all smiles as he hugs Ness Wadia. A night to remember for the boys in red.

The chase of 204 by Punjab Kings
Highest ever in IPL Playoffs/Knockout
First time ever 200+ successfully chased vs MI
Eighth time PBKS have chased 200+, the most by a team in IPL
Ninth successful 200+ chase in IPL 2025, the most in a single edition

Shreyas Iyer has now led three different teams to IPL finals - DC in 2020, KKR in 2024, and PBKS in 2025. No other player has done it for more than one team.

Hardik Pandya | MI skipper:
The way Shreyas batted, took his chances and some of the shots he played were really outstanding and I think they definitely batted really well. I think it was par, but it needed some great execution as a bowling unit which I think in these big games it really matters and as I mentioned they were really calm, put us under pressure and I think we were not able to execute the way we wanted. I will not put it on the wicket, if we had to something better it was maybe someone bowling right lengths or maybe right bowler at the right point, the result could have been a bit different. In hindsight, it would have been different (whether he should have bowled Bumrah with 41 needed of 4 overs) )and it would have been too early as well, Boom knowing the situation if even 18 balls are left Jassi can be Jassi and he can do something special and it just didn't happen today

Shreyas Iyer | Punjab Kings captain and Player of the Match:
(On being calm while batting) I don't know to be honest, I love such big occasions. I always say to myself and to my colleagues in the team that the bigger the occasion, the calmer you are, you get the big results. Today was a right example where I was focusing more on my breathing rather than sweating out there. (On chasing a 200+ target) All players need to be assertive and show that intent from ball one. The intent was stupendous and even for me, I had to take some time. From the other end, the batsmen were striking pretty well. I know the more time I spend on the field, the better I get and my vision also gets better
