Thus, PBKS, who lost their previous game to Delhi Capitals, are in a must-win situation against MI in their push for a top-two finish

Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings will be determined to give their all in the battle of Top-2 finish when they face each other in their final league stage fixture of the IPL here on Monday. As the four teams — Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, MI and PBKS — have sealed the IPL Playoff spots much earlier than ever before, the remaining league matches will determine the final standings.
With 17 points, PBKS are currently placed second, but a defeat to MI will push them to the third or fourth spot, setting them up for the Eliminator on May 30. Finishing in Top-2 seems tougher for PBKS as they not only need a win against a formidable MI outfit, but also hope RCB (17 points) lose their final match.
