Shreyas Iyer led from the front as PBKS completed a convincing chase to beat MI by five wickets in Qualifier 2, thus booking their place in the final of IPL 2025 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Shreyas slammed an unbeaten 87 off 41 balls as PBKS chased down 204 with an over to spare. Josh Inglis laid the foundation with a whirlwind 21-ball 38, smashing 20 off an over from Jasprit Bumrah.
Nehal Wadhera also hit 48 (29) during his 84-run stand with Shreyas, who played as second fiddle during the stand. Earlier, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav played crucial knocks of 44 apiece as Mumbai Indians posted 203 for 6 in 20 overs.
The duo of Suryakumar and Tilak stitched 72 runs for the third wicket to lay a solid platform for MI. Naman Dhir’s 37 off 18 balls towards the end played a huge role in helping MI go past the 200-run mark after the side was invited to bat first.
