Rain became a hindrance in Qualifier-2

IPL 2025 Final Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings: Qualifier-2 of IPL 2025 was played between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The start of this match was delayed by about two hours as rain knocked immediately after the toss and this hide and seek of rain continued for about two hours. The match started at 9:45 pm. There was no possibility of rain for this match, so the sudden rain increased the heartbeat of the fans, as there was no reserve day for Qualifier-2. However, once the match started, the rain did not hinder again and in the end Punjab Kings defeated Mumbai Indians to make it to the final.
