Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is in its last phase and now only two league matches are left. All four qualified teams are trying hard to make a place in the top-2, because the teams living in the top-2 get a double opportunity to reach the finals.
Akash Chopra told two strongest teams
Former Indian cricketer and current commentator Akash Chopra has named two strongest teams of IPL 2025. He has considered Mumbai Indians (Mi) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as the top-2 contender and claimed that the final match will also be played between these two teams.
Dangerous team told Mumbai
Talking on his YouTube channel, Akash Chopra said, “I think the Mumbai Indians are heavy at this time. His team is looking very balanced and he is constantly on the path of victory. It is difficult to stop them now. I think Mumbai and RCB will stay in the top-2 and the finals will also be among them.”
Mumbai’s tremendous comeback
Mumbai Indians had started the start of this season very poorly and were able to win only 1 in the first 5 matches. But after this, he made a spectacular comeback and won 6 consecutive matches and then defeated Delhi Capitals to make a place in the playoffs by winning the eighth win.
Victory against Punjab will give place in top-2
Now Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai team has a golden opportunity that if they defeat Punjab Kings in the match in Jaipur, they will reach the top of the points table and will confirm the place in the top-2. This will give them two opportunities to reach the finals.
RCB can also make table topper
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore can also reach the top of the points table, provided they defeat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last league match. In such a situation, there is a possibility that both Mumbai and RCB qualifiers 1 should be face to face, which will be played on May 29 at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium of Mohali.
