Best wishes to both the teams, but a bit more for MI!!

Punjab Kings missed a golden opportunity to claim the top spot on Saturday, May 24, falling short in a high-scoring thriller against Delhi Capitals at the same venue. Currently second on the points table with 17 points from 13 games, Shreyas Iyer’s men are keeping a close watch on the outcome of Gujarat Titans’ match against Chennai Super Kings. The Titans sit at the summit with 18 points from 13 matches.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are also in the mix with 17 points, level with PBKS, though they trail slightly on net run rate.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians remain firmly in playoff contention. The Hardik Pandya-led side has amassed 16 points from 13 matches and boasts the highest NRR among all teams. Despite their six-game winning streak ending at the hands of Gujarat Titans, MI bounced back strongly with a key victory over Delhi Capitals, ensuring they stay in the hunt for a top-two finish.

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has witnessed six IPL 2025 matches so far, with an average first-innings score exceeding 200. Both batting first and chasing sides have found success equally, winning three games each. In the recent encounter between Punjab and Delhi, despite some inconsistent bounce, both teams managed to post scores above 200. With strong performances from the top order, reaching 200 or more is very achievable at this ground. Therefore, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first, placing pressure on the opposition to set a high total.
