Which teams have matches in IPL 2025 today?

Today in the IPL, on 26 May, there is a match between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans. This match will be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur from 7:30 pm. Whoever wins the team will secure its place in the top 2, it will play the qualifier 1 while the fate of the other team will stand on the match to be held tomorrow.

Punjab Kings co-Malakin and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta questioned an umpire’s decision after the defeat of Delhi Capitals on Saturday. In fact, during the batting of Punjab, Karun Nair caught a catch on the boundary, which he left inside the body because he felt that his leg had touched the body. Fielder Nair himself told that this is a six but the third umpire found something else. This six was not given. Now Preeti’s anger was bound to be there, she took out her anger through a tweet around 3 pm.

This whole matter is of 15th over. Punjab Kings batsman Shashank Singh put a big shot in the air off Mohit Sharma. Karun Nair, standing on the boundary line, caught him, but seeing his balance deteriorating, he left the ball inside. However, soon after this, he indicated with his hands that it was a six, he felt that his foot had touched the boundary line. Then the third umpire checked and found that it is not a six, that is, Karun’s foot did not touch the boundary line. Now there was a dispute over it because the fielder himself had agreed that his leg had touched.

Preity Zinta got angry like this

The Punjab Kings team lost this match by 6 wickets to Delhi Capitals. Although Punjab has already made place in the playoffs, it was important to win this match for the top 2. After the end of the match, at 2.40 pm, Preity said in response to a tweet that such a big tournament should not make such a mistake.

He wrote, “In such a high profile tournament, which has so many techniques with the third umpire, such mistakes are unacceptable and it should not happen, I talked to Karun after the game and confirmed that it was definitely 6! Now I finish this matter.”

In a such a high profile tournament with so much technology at the third umpire’s disposal such mistakes are unacceptable & simply Shouldn’T Happen. I spoke to karun after the game & he confirmed it was definitely a 6! I rest my case! #Pbksvsdc #IPL2025 https://t.co/o35ycueunp

The last match of Punjab Kings in the league stage is with Mumbai Indians (PBKS vs Mi). This match to be held on May 26 will be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Punjab will have to win this match under any circumstances to keep the hopes of ending the league stage by staying in the top 2.

66 matches have been played in IPL 2025. 4 matches of league stage are still left. Teams reaching the playoffs are Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings. Of course all four teams have been confirmed, but the exciting battle of the top 2 is going on between them.

The format of IPL 2025 playoffs is such that the top 2 teams get 2 opportunities to go to the IPL final. The qualifier between these two teams is 1, the winning team enters the finals directly while the losing team gets another chance in the qualifier 2. The third and fourth team get the final ticket by winning the first eliminator and then the qualifier 2. After the match number 66, the possibilities of all the four teams are alive that they could reach the top 2.

Gujarat Titans

The first match of double header on Sunday, 25 May is Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings (GT vs CSK). If Gujarat wins today under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, then his top 2 will be confirmed. But if he lost, he had to depend on the results of other teams. Then Gujarat must have defeated Lucknow Bangalore. Right now Gujarat has 18 points.

Punjab kings

Punjab Kings, captained by Shreyas Iyer, currently have 17 points. He has to defeat Mumbai Indians to go to the playoffs, this will give him 19 points. Then he would need that RCB loses its last match, then if Gujarat has won its last match, then Punjab will reach the playoffs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB also has 17 points after 13 matches. First of all, he will have to win his last match. If Gujarat has lost its last match, then RCB will win and will secure a place in the top 2. But if Gujarat has won, then RCB should defeat Mumbai Punjab, or Punjab, then do not win by a big margin and then the net run rate will be important.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai, captained by Hardik Pandya, currently has 16 points, but its best thing is that the net run rate is better than Gujarat at number one. Mumbai will have to defeat Punjab Kings in their last match to go to the top 2. If Gujarat has lost its last match, then Mumbai will win and will secure its place in the top 2. But if Gujarat has won its last match, then Mumbai should lose their last match.
