PBKS vs MI Qualifier 2 Match Prediction
Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians Match Prediction: The form of Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer in PBKS’ batting, as well as Arshdeep Singh’s bowling, makes them strong. However, the weakness in bowling and the absence of Chahal in Qualifier 1 is a matter of concern for them.
MI’s strength lies in the batting of Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma, and the bowling pair of Bumrah-Bolt. MI performed brilliantly in the Eliminator, with Rohit’s explosive innings and Bumrah’s accurate bowling defeating GT.
The record of chasing at the Narendra Modi Stadium (20/36 wins) could give MI an advantage, especially if they win the toss and choose to bowl. PBKS could get an aggressive start from Prabhsimran and Priyansh Arya, but MI’s playoff experience and Bumrah’s form give them a slight edge. Sentiment on X is in favour of MI, with 62% of fans predicting them to win.
According to experts, MI’s chances of winning are 60% and PBKS’s are 40%. If Suryakumar and Rohit play big innings and Bumrah maintains his rhythm, MI will reach the final. But if PBKS’s opening pair and Arshdeep shine, they can upset them.
