The much-anticipated IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi Stadium faced a delayed start today due to a light drizzle over the venue.
The drizzle prompted ground staff to cover the pitch and outfield, postponing the toss and match commencement. Fans and teams alike waited anxiously as weather updates poured in, with the organizers hopeful for conditions to improve soon.
The match holds significant stakes, as the winner will secure a coveted spot in the IPL 2025 final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). PBKS had earlier topped the league standings and opted to bowl first should the match proceed.
In case persistent rain forces the match to be abandoned, Punjab Kings will automatically advance to the final due to their superior league position.
Officials have incorporated a two-hour buffer in the schedule to accommodate weather-related delays, and the ground crew remains vigilant in preparing the pitch for play.
Cricket enthusiasts are advised to follow live updates via official IPL channels and news portals as the situation evolves.
Stay tuned for further developments from Ahmedabad.
