Team News

Punjab Kings: Arshdeep Singh’s battle upfront against Rohit Sharma could have a major impact on the match, with the powerplay presenting the Kings with the ideal opportunity to squash any resistance from Mumbai.

Possible XI: Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (c), Marcus Stoinis, Suryansh Shedge, Marco Jansen, Lockie Ferguson, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Yash Thakur.

Mumbai Indians: Mumbai’s top order is still struggling to assert itself, despite many good performances from individuals. Their bowlers have performed manfully but it hasn’t been enough to save them from elimination before the playoffs.

Possible XI: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Tilak Varma, Will Jacks, Raj Bawa, Corbin Bosch, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, AM Ghazanfar, Jasprit Bumrah.

Key Stats

Punjab Kings’ Cooper Connolly is 9th on the IPL runs list (415 runs, ave 51.9).
Punjab Kings’ Shreyas Iyer has scored 71*, 30, 19 & 59* in 5 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Arshdeep Singh has figures of 2/24, 1/43 & 2/21 in his last 3 matches.
Mumbai Indians’ Ryan Rickelton has scored 123*, 37 & 83 in 4 innings.
Mumbai Indians’ Naman Dhir has scored 22, 57, 23* & 47 in 4 innings.
Mumbai Indians’ Jasprit Bumrah has taken just 1 wicket in 4 matches.

Match Analysis

The most recent match at Dharamsala was three days ago when the Kings went down to the Delhi Capitals by three wickets with six balls to spare. The Kings posted a competitive score of 210/5 off their 20 overs but were unable to defend the score.

The Kings hit 13 sixes, with the Capitals replying with 11 sixes as a lower-order revival took them home for the win.

The pitch should once again provide a consistent and high-scoring surface, with some early help for the fast bowlers.

The ball will travel far at the high altitude, ensuring better carry for shots over the top, so we should see a good number of sixes.

Scores touching or passing 200 are fairly common with the black-soil surface providing a hard pitch that will play well to batters looking to play their strokes.

Betting Markets to Watch

Result

Both teams have lost four of their last five matches, but the Kings are fighting for a playoff spot and have great talent in their squad, so I’m backing them to rise up again and get back on the winning track.

Best Punjab Kings Bowler

Arshdeep Singh has been picking up wickets most matches and is joint 10th on the wickets list with 13 wickets this season.

Score Over/Under Runs

Cooper Connolly has scored 30, 107* and 38 in his last four matches and is worth backing to score over 21 runs.

Take Over/Under Wickets

Jasprit Bumrah has been economical this season (7.33) but has taken just three wickets in his 11 matches. He’s a good call to back to take under two wickets again.
