Analysis
The Mumbai Indians have had some top performances so far in the tournament and will hope to continue this form against Punjab Kings. So far in the tournament, MI’s bowling has been a bigger concern as they have failed to take wickets in the powerplay and concede extra runs towards the death. But their batters have continued to perform well with big knocks from multiple players.
On the other hand, the Punjab Kings, have been one of the surprise teams, especially after their recent result against the Chennai Super Kings. The Kings' bowling has been put under pressure quite a few times but have held their own on most occasions. But their batting has been their true strength with each and every batting scoring runs at a stellar rate.
