PBKS vs MI Team Previews

Punjab Kings

The Punjab Kings will be disappointed with the way the way they played during Qualifier 1 as they were completely outplayed by the Royal Challengers in all departments. Nevertheless, thanks to their excellent performance in the group stages, they have a second shot at making it to the finals.

The opening pair of Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya will need to give the Kings a strong start. They have been one of the most consistent opening pairs of the season and a lot will depend on them if the Kings want to put up a big total. Shreyas Iyer suffered a rare failure with the bat on Thursday.

Nevertheless, he remains among the top run-getters for his team this season. In addition to Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Josh Inglis, and Shashank Singh are also in good form, making up a strong middle order. The Punjab Kings have a couple of good all-rounders including Marcus Stoinis, Musheer Khan, and Azmatullah Omarzai who not only add depth to the batting but are also good bowlers.

Talking about the bowling, Arshdeep Singh will lead the pace attack. He is the leading wicket-taker for Punjab with 18 wickets and will be joined by Kyle Jamieson. Yuzvendra Chahal has missed the last few matches but the team will be hopeful that he has recovered enough to lead the spin department. Harpreet Brar has bowled a couple of decent spells and will join him during the middle overs.

Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians have scripted an extraordinary turnaround this season. After losing 4 of their first 5 matches, not many would have expected them to reach the playoffs. However, they played some excellent cricket over the last month, and not only did they make it to the top four, but also defeated the mighty Gujarat Titans to keep their hopes of reaching the finals alive.

Johnny Bairstow and Rohit Sharma gave the team a solid start on Friday and will hope to do the same in this match as well. The fans would have been particularly delighted with the way Rohit Sharma played, as he scored his 4th half-century of the season.

Suryakumar Yadav’s purple patch continues and he is now second on the list of top run-scorers of the tournament. He will have the support of Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma in the middle order while all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Mitchell Santner add depth to the batting.

The Mumbai Indians boast of a strong pace attack that will be headlined by Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult. Boult is the leading wicket-taker for Mumbai with 21 wickets while Bumrah has been as accurate as ever. The duo is likely to be joined by Pandya, Ashwani Kumar, and Richard Gleeson.

The spin department does seem a bit weak with Santner being the only dependable slow bowler.

PBKS vs MI Toss Prediction

7 of the last 10 matches played here have been won while batting first. In 8 of those games, the captain winning the toss opted to field first. However, we feel that batting first might be a better option.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Narendra Modi Stadium has hosted some high-scoring games this year and we are expecting another good batting track for this match. The average first-inning score here this season is around 220 and a score of around 190 can be considered a par score. There is very little movement for the bowlers and they will need to vary their pace if they want to trouble the batsmen.

The surface does slow down a bit in the second half and the spinners will get some help. The weather is expected to be warm and humid with temperatures over 30 degrees.

PBKS vs MI: Who Will Win?

While the Punjab Kings have been one of the most consistent teams this season, the Mumbai Indians seem like an unstoppable force over the last couple of weeks. We can expect a cracking contest between them, especially as a spot in the finals is on the line.

We feel that the Mumbai Indians have an edge in this contest thanks to the massive amount of experience they have in their ranks. The Punjab Kings seem to crumble under the pressure of a knockout match and that could very well be the case on Sunday.

PBKS vs MI win percentage stands at 58% in favor of MI right now!
