After PBKS defeated MI in IPL 2025 Qualifier 2, MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene said, "There could've been a lot of ifs and buts, but I think we didn't play a perfect game and...paid for it." "Back-to-back wickets probably slowed us down a little bit, but I still thought 200 was a good score in a qualifier," Jayawardene added.
