Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians Predictions

Mumbai Indians are pushing to claim a record sixth IPL title and are peaking at the right moment. Their batters and bowlers are on fire, so I am backing them to win through to the final ahead of the Punjab Kings.

Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav has scored 48*, 35, 73*, 57 & 33 runs in his last five innings.
Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma hit four sixes in his 50-ball innings of 81 against the Gujarat Titans.
Shreyas Iyer (516 runs, ave 46.90) is 11th in the IPL runs list.
Punjab Kings’ Prabhsimran Singh has scored 83, 54, 91, 21 & 28 in his last 7 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Punjab Kings have won three and lost two of their last five matches against the Mumbai Indians.

Punjab Kings Form

Punjab Kings suffered their second defeat in three matches when they lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by eight wickets in their Challenger 1 clash.

The Kings crashed to 60/7 in the ninth over before being bowled out for 101 off 14.1 overs. Marcus Stoinis (26 off 17 balls) was the only Kings batter to reach 20.

The Royal Challengers raced to the win off 10 overs for the loss of just two wickets. Kyle Jamieson (1/27, econ 9.0) fared the best with the ball for the Kings.

Punjab Kings Team News

The Kings need their top six to bring their A game if they hope to beat an in-form Mumbai side with arguably the best bowling attack in the IPL.

Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai Indians made it two wins from their last three games as they beat the Gujarat Titans by 20 runs in the Eliminator.

Mumbai Indians batted superbly to post 228/5 off their 20 overs. Rohit Sharma top-scored with 81 off 50 balls, backed up by Jonny Bairstow’s 22-ball score of 47.

The Titans put up a good fight but could only reach 208/6 off their 20 overs. Trent Boult picked up two top-five Titans wickets, but the pick of the Mumbai bowlers was Jasprit Bumrah, who returned figures of 4-0-27-1 (econ 6.75).

Mumbai Indians Team News

There are no injury reports from the Mumbai Indians squad.

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.
