Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 69th match of IPL 2025. This article provides details about the Punjab Kings' Playing 11 vs Mumbai Indians for match 69 of IPL 2025.
Punjab Kings Playing 11 vs Mumbai Indians- IPL 2025, Match 69:
Openers: Prabhsimran Singh (wk) and Priyansh Arya
Punjab Kings will open the innings against Mumbai Indians with the tried and tested pair of Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya
The pair has, on most occasions, been successful in giving the team a solid start and would like to do the same against MI
Prabhsimran Singh, who has been a part of the Punjab Kings for quite some time, has justified his selection by being the leading run scorer for his team in the ongoing season
Priyansh, on the other hand, has complemented Prabhsimran well and has scored more than 350 runs in the current edition of the league
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Shreyas Iyer (c), Mitchell Owen, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai, Suryansh Shedge
Punjab Kings will expect their captain to control the team's batting while batting probably at number five as he did against RR
Having said that, PBKS would be concerned about Iyer's fitness as the right-hander batted with an injured finger against RR and did not take the field in the second innings
It was Shashank Singh who took over from Iyer as the captain for that particular period and did a fine job with assistance from senior players and the coach
Iyer's unavailability might be a blessing in disguise for Musheer Khan, who grabbed the attention of experts and fans in the 2024 Under-19 World Cup
Iyer's absence would mean that Shashan Singh and Nehal Wadhera will have to take more responsibility to guide the team to a challenging total while batting first
Another interesting thing to watch out for in the upcoming match against the Mumbai Indians would be the batting position of Mitchell Owen, who batted at number three against RR
Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Yuzvendra Chahal
PBKS would hope for their premier fast bowler, Arshdeep Sing, to continue the match-winning performances that the left-arm pacer has delivered so far in the tournament
Arshdeep would want bowlers like Xavier Bartlett to bowl well from the other end to keep the pressure on the opposition batters
Jansen, on the other hand, would want to carry on his performance and pick wickets in all three phases of the innings, like he has been able to do so far in the ongoing season
Afghan all-rounder Omarzai has also played his part to perfection, especially with the ball in the handful of matches he has played in IPL 2025 and would hope to replicate the performance he delivered against RR
Punjab Kings would once again pin their hopes on experienced leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the spin department to clinch wickets like he has done in the second half of the tournament
