IPL 2025: 3 Key battles to watch out for in the PBKS vs MI Match 69

Marcus Stoinis vs Jasprit Bumrah

Marcus Stoinis has not really had too great of a season, but has surely played a couple of great knocks, the last coming in the game against Delhi Capitals. Jasprit Bumrah, on the other hand, has been doing what only he does best and taking wickets like he never left.

Stoinis is an attacking and aggressive batter, but he has not been able to be so against Bumrah. He has faced 36 deliveries in the shortest format from him, where he could only score 28 runs with a mere strike rate of 77.8 and was also dismissed three times during that period.

Prabhsimran Singh vs Trent Boult

Prabhsimran was one of the only two batters to be retained by the Punjab franchise, and he has shown and proven why the team showed such great trust in him. Trent Boult too, has been having a terrific season and is scalping wickets on a regular basis.

Another attacking Punjabi batter struggling against the MI bowler, Prabhsimran, does not have great stats against Boult. He has only been able to score 24 runs off the 21 balls he has faced with the help of two boundaries and a six, while he was dismissed twice.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Yuzvendra Chahal

As per usual, Surya has been scoring at a fantastic strike rate and regularly ranking among the top scorers on the list right now. Yuzvendra Chahal has been quite erratic, with him having some extremely good games while some games have been extremely ordinary according to his performance level.

Between the two, unexpectedly, Chahal has been dominating and not letting Surya score to his will. He has faced 71 deliveries from him so far, where he has been able to score just 83 runs with a strike rate of 116.9 and got out to him three times in the process, making Chahal one of the best bowlers against Surya.
