Match preview & overview
Punjab Kings chase down 185 to beat Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets in Jaipur
Punjab Kings beat Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets in Jaipur on 26 May 2025, completing a comfortable chase of 185 with wickets to spare. Mumbai Indians had posted 184/7 batting first, a total built on a 52-run powerplay and a solid middle phase of 79 runs. In reply, Punjab Kings lost only 3 wickets and scored 99 runs in the middle overs alone. JP Inglis won the Player of the Match award. The result extends Punjab Kings' recent edge in this fixture, with PBKS now having won two of their last three meetings with Mumbai Indians.
Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to field, a decision that aligned with conditions at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The venue's chase success rate across 97 matches stands at 64 per cent, and teams choosing to field have won 60 per cent of tosses there. Mumbai Indians' 184 was above the ground's average first-innings score of 165, which made the target look meaningful on paper. In practice, Punjab Kings were rarely under serious pressure once they settled into the chase.
The difference between the two innings was largely the middle phase. Mumbai Indians managed 79 runs for 3 wickets in overs 7 to 15; Punjab Kings scored 99 for 1 in the same stretch. That 20-run swing, combined with the extra wicket in hand, gave PBKS the foundation to complete the chase without a late scramble. The death overs were almost academic: Punjab Kings needed only 41 runs from the final four overs and lost one more wicket in doing so.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Top batter markets may be of interest at Jaipur given the ground's high chase success rate of 64 per cent across 97 matches, which tends to produce at least one substantial innings from the chasing side.
- The venue's average first-innings score of 165 means totals above 180 can appear competitive but history suggests they are chaseable. Total runs markets may reflect that pattern.
- With the head-to-head split almost exactly even at 17-16, outright result lines between these two sides may be less informative than phase-specific markets given how closely matched the teams are.
- Powerplay wickets markets could be worth monitoring: Mumbai Indians conceded only 1 wicket in their own powerplay but Punjab Kings also restricted MI to 1 wicket in the first six overs of the chase.
