IPL season 18 (2025) did not start well for Mumbai Indians, but the arrival of Jasprit Bumrah brought new energy to the team. The team was a strong contender to make it to the top 2, but after losing to Punjab Kings, MI will now have to play an eliminator match. Mumbai Indians have played eliminator matches 4 times before this, but in all these seasons they could not even reach the final.

IPL format

In this tournament, which started with 10 teams, the top 4 teams in the points table qualify for the playoffs. Now the top 2 teams among these get two chances to reach the IPL final. Even if they lose the first match (Qualifier 1), they play in the second match (Qualifier 2). Punjab Kings have confirmed their place in the top 2.

While the third and fourth ranked teams will have to score a hat-trick of wins to win the IPL trophy. An eliminator match is played between these two, the losing team's journey ends and the winning team has to play Qualifier 2. Apart from Mumbai Indians, it is not yet decided which team will play the eliminator match.
