Punjab Kings (PBKS) made it to the IPL final for the first time in 11 years, and they did it in style by beating Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets on Sunday night at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Shreyas Iyer led from the front, smashing an unbeaten 87 runs off just 41 balls. Thanks to his brilliant batting, PBKS chased down a big target of 204 runs with an over to spare. This win was especially sweet since PBKS had been outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their previous game. 

Now, PBKS and Bengaluru will face off again in the IPL 2025 Final, guaranteeing that one of them will finally win their first IPL trophy.
