Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians Predictions

The top four is locked down, but any of those teams can still take top spot. Mumbai are in fourth place, but I am backing them for the win as they have won seven of their last eight matches in the IPL.

Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav has scored 40*, 54, 48*, 35 & 73* in his last 5 innings.
Mumbai Indians' Ryan Rickelton has scored 58, 61 & 25 in his last 4 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Shreyas Iyer (488 runs, ave 48.80) is 10th in the Indian Premier League runs list
Punjab Kings’ Prabhsimran Singh has scored 83, 54, 91, 21 & 29 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

Mumbai Indians have won three and lost two of their last five matches against the Punjab Kings. They have also won the last two matches against the Kings on the bounce.

Punjab Kings Form

Punjab Kings suffered their second defeat in five completed matches when they lost to Delhi Capitals by six wickets.

Shreyas Iyer (53 off 34 balls) did the early scoring for the Kings, before Marcus Stoinis (44 off 16) smashed four sixes to lift the Kings to 206/8 off their 20 overs.

The Capitals secured the win with three balls in hand and with six wickets to spare. Harpreet Brar (2/41) was the pick of the Punjab bowlers.

Punjab Kings Team News

Yuzvendra Chahal’s suspected wrist injury is likely to keep him sidelined again.

Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai Indians made it seven wins from their last eight matches when they beat Delhi Capitals by 59 runs.

Suryakumar Yadav was on song again with the bat, scoring 73 off 43 balls as Mumbai posted 180/5 off their 20 overs.

Delhi were in trouble at 27/3, but thoughts of a recovery were denied by superb bowling from Mitchell Santner (3/11, econ 2.75) and Jasprit Bumrah (3/12, econ 3.60) as Delhi were rolled for 121 off 18.2 overs.

Mumbai Indians Team News

Mumbai will be looking for their top order to find their best form as this will be the last match for Ryan Rickleton and Will Jacks, as they both have other commitments to honour.

Verdict

Punjab Kings v Mumbai Indians

I am backing Mumbai Indians to win. I am also backing Suryakumar Yadav to top score for Mumbai Indians.

Shreyas Iyer is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
