Punjab Kings, who lost the qualifier 01 of the IPL 2025 season, have secured a comfortable 5-wicket victory against Mumbai Indians in qualifier 2 and secured the second spot in the IPL 2025 finals.
Punjab Kings have reached the IPL finals for the first time in 11 Years. If they manage to win the finals, they will become the second team in IPL history to win the title after losing Qualifier 01.
Only the Mumbai Indians have achieved the feat and done it twice in 2013 and 2017. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a title after finishing third in the points table. However, it is yet to remain whether PBKS will be added in the list as they lost the qualifier 01 and advanced to the finals after a win in the eliminators.
