The excitement of IPL 2025 is on the rise among the fans. The playoffs have started and two matches have also been played. Now the last two matches are left and Mumbai Indians have a chance to do wonders like Sunrisers Hyderabad. Like the year 2016, coincidences are happening again. Then, that is, nine years ago, the Sunrisers Hyderabad team played the eliminator and then the team won the title. The SRH team is the only team in the IPL that captured the title while playing the eliminator. It won all three matches - Eliminator, Qualifier-2, and Final. The special thing is that in 2016 also, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team was in the final and reached the final directly by winning Qualifier 1. At the same time, this season Mumbai has the challenge of Punjab and RCB to show wonders like Sunrisers.
Will Mumbai become the second team after SRH?
Qualifier-2 is to be held on June 1 and the final on June 3. Both matches will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. RCB made it to the final by defeating Punjab Kings in Qualifier-1 on 29 May. At the same time, Mumbai made it to Qualifier-2 by defeating Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator on 30 May. Now both the matches are knockouts. The journey of the losing team will end. Mumbai's team would like to capture the title for the sixth time by winning both these matches and would like to become the second team after the Sunrisers to win the title while playing the Eliminator. In 2016, Sunrisers defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 22 runs in the Eliminator. After this, in Qualifier-2, the Gujarat Lions team was defeated by four wickets. Then in the final, they won the title by defeating RCB by eight runs.
Mumbai stopped Punjab at 208 by scoring 228 runs.
Mumbai has crossed the first challenge of the Eliminator, but now they have the challenge of a strong team like Punjab. The Mumbai team made a tremendous comeback after a poor start and qualified for the playoffs. The team finished fourth in the points table, but Mumbai's performance has been excellent under new captain Hardik Pandya. On Friday, Mumbai scored a mammoth score of 228 runs in Mullanpur and allowed Gujarat to score only 208 runs. Now it will not be easy to overcome the Punjab team captained by Shreyas Iyer. However, in 2020, Shreyas was the captain of Delhi and Ricky Ponting was the coach of DC.
Mumbai has the experience of the Ponting and Shreyas pair.
Then Mumbai, captained by Rohit, defeated Delhi first in Qualifier One and then in the final. In such a situation, Mumbai will be well aware of the strategy of Shreyas and Ponting. Also, the Punjab team was bundled out for 101 runs in the last match and the team's morale would have dropped. The Mumbai team would like to take advantage of this. A total of 33 matches have been played between the two teams so far and there has been tough competition between the two. Mumbai has won 17 matches and Punjab has won 16 matches. Punjab defeated Mumbai by three wickets in the only match played between the two teams this season. RCB and Punjab have not won a single title so far. It remains to be seen whether the season gets a new champion or Mumbai manages to win the title once again.
