IPL 2025 Qualifier 2: Check Latest Update On Ahmedabad Weather Ahead MI vs PBKS Match At Narendra Modi Stadium

As the IPL 2025 playoffs shift to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, excitement builds ahead of a crucial clash between Punjab Kings and the Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2. With a spot in the final against RCB on the line, all eyes will be on weather as well.

In the latest update, fans can breathe easy knowing that weather is unlikely to play spoilsport. According to Accuweather no rain is expected during match hours. Any showers are forecast to arrive early Monday morning well after the match concludes.

The day will remain mostly cloudy and hazy, with cooler-than-usual conditions thanks to recent rainfall. Temperatures are expected to stay below 40°C, making for relatively comfortable playing conditions. By evening, humidity is likely to rise to around 50%, though it shouldn’t cause major discomfort.

Can Punjab Kings stop Mumbai Indians from making it to the final of IPL 2025?

Despite cruising past Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are far from a flawless outfit heading into their clash with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2. That win, while emphatic on paper, still exposed cracks in their setup cracks that PBKS, despite a tough loss in Qualifier 1, could be well positioned to exploit.

Bumrah has been in sublime touch this season. With 18 wickets at a miserly economy of 6.37 and an average of just 15.33, he’s been the standout bowler of IPL 2025. But the reliance on him is beginning to feel absolute. When MI need breakthroughs, it’s always Bumrah they turn to. The rest of the bowling unit has failed to offer consistent support.

Trent Boult’s form has also dipped. He went for 56 runs in the previous match and has generally been expensive, conceding nearly 9 runs an over this season. Then there’s Hardik Pandya MI’s captain and all-rounder—whose bowling has been ineffective. Across his last 10 games, he’s picked up just three wickets, while leaking runs at 10.68 per over.

While MI have the pedigree and playoff experience, there are evident weaknesses that PBKS will look to target. With their batting lineup itching to bounce back and conditions expected to suit stroke-making, this could be a much tighter contest than some might expect.
