IPL 2025: Will Mumbai's team be able to repeat like Hyderabad? Coincidence becomes like 2016, the challenge of Punjab-RCB before

Cricket News Desk. There is increasing enthusiasm among fans regarding IPL 2025. The play -off game started and two games were played. Now the last two games are left and Mumbai Indians have a chance to do miracles like Sunrisers Hyderabad. Like the year 2016, a coincidence is made. Then, nine years ago, the team of Sunrisers Hyderabad played the Eliminator and then the team won the title. The SRH team is the only IPL team that played the title Eliminator. It has won all three games, qualifiers-2 and last three games. The special thing is that the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was also in the final in 2016 and won the qualifier 1 and made the final directly. At the same time this season Punjab and RCB Challenge in front of Mumbai to show miracles like Sunrisers. Will another team be formed to Mumbai SRH? Qualifier-2 will be held on June 1 and the final on June 3. Both matches are played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The RCB defeated Punjab Kings in Qualifier-1 on May 29 to enter the final. At the same time, Mumbai defeated the Gujarat Titans in Eliminator on May 30 and confirmed the place in the qualifier-2. Now both matches are knocking out. The losing team’s journey will end. The Mumbai team wants to win both of these games and win the title for the sixth time and play the Eliminator and the second team forms to win the title to Sunrisers. In 2016, Sunrisers defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 22 runs in Eliminator. After this, the Gujarat Lions team was defeated by four wickets in Qualifier-2. After that, RCB defeated eight runs in the final and won the title. Mumbai scored 228 runs and stopped Punjab for 208 runs. Mumbai crossed the first challenge of the Eliminator, but it now has a challenge from a strong team like Punjab. The Mumbai team made a good return after a poor start and qualified for the playoffs. The team finished fourth in the venue, but Mumbai’s performance led by new captain Hardik Pandya was excellent. Mumbai scored 228 runs in Mullanpur on Friday and allowed Gujarat to score 208 runs. Now it will not be easy to defeat the Punjab team by Shreyas Iyer. However, Shreyas was the captain of Delhi in 2020 and Ricky Ponting was the DC coach. Mumbai has an experience of Ponting and Shreyas pair. Then Rohit’s captaincy defeated the first qualifier one and then Delhi in the final. In such a situation, Mumbai will be well aware of the strategy of Shreyas and Ponting. In the last game, the Punjab team was also for 101 runs and the morale of the team would have taken off. The Mumbai team would like to use it. A total of 33 games have been played between the two teams so far and there was a difficult competition between the two. Mumbai won 17 and Punjab won 16 games. This season, Punjab Mumbai defeated three wickets in the only game played between the two teams. RCB and Punjab have not yet won a single title. It has yet to be seen whether this season a new champion or Mumbai will again succeed in winning the title. Share this story -tags
