Let's Break the News Down:
Got some juicy details for ya, folks! Shreyas Iyer was the star of the show as Punjab Kings (PBKS) stormed into the IPL 2025 final, beating the Mumbai Indians (MI) by a narrow margin of five wickets in a thrilling Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad last night. Here's the lowdown!
Game On:
The match started with PBKS winning the toss and deciding to field first, choosing defence over attack against MI. But due to a surprise rain interruption, the game got a little wet before the action kicked off.
Mumbai's Struggle:
In the batting department, MI had a shaky start as Rohit Sharma was sent back to the pavilion for a measly eight runs, but they managed to bounce back thanks to Jonny Bairstow's 38 off 24 balls and Tilak Varma's 44 not out off 29 balls during the powerplay. Despite their efforts, MI finished with a respectable total of 203/6 after their 20 overs.
Punjab's Triumph:
Chasing a modest target, PBKS lost their third wicket early when Josh Inglis was dismissed. But Shreyas Iyer, the one-man-army for PBKS, played a game-changing knock of 87 not out off just 41 balls, supported by Nehal Wadhera's 48 runs from 29 balls. After overcoming a few challenges, PBKS cruised past MI's score with more than an over to spare, securing a much-deserved win and a spot in the final against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
