Punjab Kings will look to consolidate their position in the top two when they face Mumbai Indians in their final league fixture of the Indian Premier League 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday.

With playoff qualification secured, Punjab will aim to finish strong and gain a potential advantage going into the next phase. Skipper Shreyas Iyer has been among the runs and is expected to lead the charge once again. The right-hander’s consistency has been a key factor in PBKS' campaign so far.

On the bowling front, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh remains crucial to Punjab’s hopes. He has delivered match-winning spells this season and will be vital against a Mumbai side that has shown glimpses of explosive batting form.
