Points table
The IPL Points Table is an integral component of the Indian Premier League experience for cricket fans. It charts teams’ rise and fall, as well as new stars emerging.
Fantasy cricket enthusiasts also find this tool indispensable as it enables them to select appropriate players for their squads while tracking individual player performance against peers.
Mumbai Indians secured second spot on the IPL 2025 Points Table after beating LSG at Wankhede with an emphatic victory against LSG, trailing only Gujarat Titans by one point; however RCB’s win against Punjab Kings ensures them a place in Qualifier 1.
Chase 228 runs was always going to be a difficult challenge for a team led by Virat Kohli. Yet he and his bowlers rose to it effortlessly.
Mitchell Marsh lit up MI middle overs with a stellar 54 off 31 deliveries, followed by Aiden Markram who hit an elegant 38-ball 53 before the middle order were dismissed for only 96 runs.
Meanwhile, the RCB bowlers were relentless in their attack. Aiming to execute short balls for four or more runs quickly paid dividends in the first innings as it effectively stopped batsmen from scoring runs.
A dominant performance by RCB during their second innings helped them accumulate 251, enough for them to beat LSG and qualify for playoffs.
As soon as the regular season concludes, four teams from IPL 2025’s top four brackets will battle it out for one of two spots in Eden Gardens in Kolkata to compete for an appearance in its 2025 final.

Jacks, Boult and Bumrah’s bowlers of MI did the damage in this match-up by taking critical wickets against LSG that prevented a decent total being scored by them and thus leading to another important win for MI in IPL 2023 Eliminator mode.
This marked their seventh league stage victory out of seven attempts against them since coming together against MI in 2023 Eliminator mode.
Team news and likely XIIs
Mumbai Indians could use a win over LSG as a much-needed boost, currently languishing at the middle of the points table and suffering through a poor run of form that has seen them lose three of their opening four matches despite having been one of the best-recruited sides this season. Their team boasts plenty of talent but nothing seems to click as time progresses.
Jasprit Bumrah will certainly bolster their chances of breaking out of their slump, yet their batsmen’s struggles remain an issue.
Their Powerplay average has averaged 10.50 so far this season and they haven’t scored more than 200 runs in any single game this year.
Suryakumar Yadav’s return has given LSG hope, while Ryan Rickleton’s impressive fifty against KKR in their previous match was another positive signal for them.
To ensure success against an effective LSG bowling unit it will be essential for their batsmen to demonstrate an impressive display on Tuesday.
Sharad Thakur, an experienced batsman and in fine form, can play an instrumental role in this contest for the visitors. Other senior players on their side such as Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya provide run chasers while Naman Dhir, Raj Bawa, and Vignesh Puthur provide added depth.
Shardul Thakur’s four-wicket haul against RCB propelled them up the points table to fourth spot, providing MI with an early challenge against their batsmen due to his economy figures. Akash Deep is looking strong as well and may deliver tight spells for LSG.
On the other side of things, MI’s attack has been led by new-ball pairing Chahar and Trent Boult; Boult has taken four wickets in three matches at a strike rate of 9.50 and should continue his streak.
Ravi Bishnoi and Vignesh Puthur should provide key breakthroughs for MI while Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant will lead their respective sides with bat and ball respectively; both senior players have struggled this season yet will look to turn things around quickly in a highly difficult contest between both teams.
