Punjab Kings End League Stage On A High After Seven-Wicket Win
Punjab Kings looked in top gear after Priyansh Arya picked pace with the bat in the beginning of the second innings. While fellow opener Prabhsimran Singh was dismissed at 13, Josh Inglis delivered another commanding knock as he scored a 42-ball 73. Arya went on to score 63 and the partnership soared high, which troubled Mumbai Indians heavily.

Shreyas Iyer-led Side Clinch Q1 Spot In IPL 2025
After tonight's win over Mumbai Indians, the Punjab Kings are assured of a Q1 spot in ongoing IPL 2025. The High-flying squad, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, have displayed promising intent and clutch dominance to assure that the win falls their way.
Notably, the Mumbai Indians looked well composed after Suryakumar Yadav's record-setting knock, which helped Mumbai Indians reach 184 after the completion of 20 overs. SKY surpassed Sachin Tendulkar to become the only MI batter to have 600+ runs in multiple IPL seasons. Punjab Kings would aim to keep the momentum going and probably end their longstanding trophy drought.
