The stage is set for a thrilling clash between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings in the IPL Qualifier-2. The winner will secure a spot in the final against Royal Challengers Bangalore. But some surprising stats have emerged that hint at a potential upset for Mumbai.
Mumbai’s track record at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the match will be held, is dismal. They’ve lost all four matches played there in the last three years, all against Gujarat Titans. On the other hand, Punjab Kings have a mixed record at the stadium, winning three out of their last five matches.
A win for either team will keep their season alive, while a loss will mean elimination. The stakes are high, and the pressure is mounting. Punjab Kings are looking to bounce back from their loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first qualifier, while Mumbai Indians will aim to capitalize on their home advantage.
The Narendra Modi Stadium will also host the IPL 2025 final, which was initially scheduled to take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. However, due to tensions between India and Pakistan, the match was shifted to Ahmedabad. The stage is set for an exciting contest, and fans can expect a thrilling match between two teams hungry for a spot in the final.
Some key stats to watch out for:
- Mumbai Indians have lost all four matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the last three years.
- Punjab Kings have won three out of their last five matches at the stadium.
- The winner of the Qualifier-2 will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final.
The match promises to be a nail-biter, with both teams giving it their all to make it to the final. Who will come out on top? Only time will tell.
