Pitch Report
Analysis
Mumbai Indians have been bolstered immensely by their captain Rohit Sharma’s return of good scores in the last few IPL matches. Runs from the bat of Ishan Kishan, Cameron Green, and Tilak Varma have given stability to MI, while Suryakumar Yadav having a good hit out in the previous match is a great sign for the franchise. In the bowling department, the Aussie fast bowling duo of Riley Meredith and Jason Behrendorff are picking up wickets for Mumbai and ensuring that the team is going in the right direction.
Punjab Kings have been playing their last few matches of the IPL without their captain Shikhar Dhawan, who is an instrumental figure for the team as an opener as well. In his absence, the Aussie Matt Short and Sikandar Raza have taken over the mantle of scoring important runs for PBKS at the top of the order, while Shahrukh Khan is holding fort in the middle order. Sam Curran, the stand-in captain of PBKS, and Kagiso Rabada have been leading the bowling attack and putting up good performances game after game.
