PBKS vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis

The Indian Premier League is entering the last stage of the group games. Though two teams have already been eliminated, the race towards the qualifiers is still on. The last season’s finalist, Punjab Kings, will play against the Mumbai Indians at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on 14th May from 7:30 PM IST.

The Punjab Kings are currently in fourth place with 13 points. They have lost the track after remaining unbetaen in the first 7 games. Since then, they have lost four games in a row. Three of these losses have come while defending the target. They have one of the most destructive batting lineups. PBKS have scored 200-plus runs in 7 of the 10 innings they have played. But they have also lost three of these in the last four occasions.

The Mumbai Indians have already been eliminated from this season. They are currently in 9th place with 6 points. Five of their 8 losses have come while defending the target. Rohit Sharma’s re-entry into the squad has helped them score at a strike rate of 200-plus in the powerplay, but a lack of support from the bowling unit has derailed their efforts for the qualifications.

Both teams played against each other in the 24th game at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 112 guided them to 195 for the loss of 6 wickets. In return, Prabhsimran Singh (80*) and Shreyas Iyer (66) scored half-centuries to snatch a victory by 7 wickets in the 17th over of the game. This was PBKS’ third consecutive victory over Mumbai Indians.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Punjab Kings Preview

Punjab Kings had everything in control in the first seven games and were at the top of the points table without a loss. Since then, they have lost four games in a row. In their last game against the Delhi Capitals, they put 210 runs on the board after Priyansh Arya (56) and Shreyas Iyer (59*) scored half-centuries. Arshdeep Singh gave them hope with 2 wickets in his first three overs. But the other bowlers conceded more than 11 runs per over to lose the game by 3 wickets.

Priyansh Arya will open the innings with Prabhsimran Singh. Arya scored 56 off 33 balls in the last game with 6 sixes. Arya has scored 342 runs in 10 games with a strike rate of 226.49 - the highest among the batters. He has hit 32 sixes. Prabhsimran has also scored 382 runs in 10 innings with four half-centuries. Cooper Connolly is their leading run-scorer with 415 runs at an average of 51. The left-handed batter has hit a century and 2 half centuries. He can be the batter to watch out for.

Shreyas Iyer has once again proved his worth, scoring 392 runs with 5 half-centuries. Looks like he is not feeling the pressure of the captaincy. He had scored 66 off 35 balls against the Mumbai Indians in the last game. He will come in the middle with Marcus Stoinis and Suryansh Shedge. Stoinis has 131 runs, while Shedge has hit 106 runs in the last 4 games. The top 6 have hit 112 sixes in 10 innings.

Their key concern is the bowling unit's lack of support. The bowlers have claimed just 50% wickets in 10 games, and none of them have an economy of less than 8. Arshdeep Singh will be their key bowler. He has 13 wickets in 11 games. He was the player of the match in Punjab’s win over Mumbai for his 3 wickets. Chahal has picked up just 8 wickets in 9 innings. Marco Jansen’s poor form has continued as he has just 6 wickets in 10 innings at an average of 65.

Why can PBKS win this game?

PBKS have the most reliable batting unit. They have scored 200-plus runs in 7 of the 10 innings. Three of their batters average more than 50. They have hit 11 sixes on average per game. Besides this, they are unbetaen against the Mumbai Indians in the last three games. With the Mumbai Indians struggling and already eliminated, PBKS can manage to win the game.

Key Players: Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Cooper Connolly.

Punjab Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (c), Suryansh Shedge, Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Ben Dwarshuis, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Mumbai Indians Preview

The five-time IPL Champions are already out of the tournament. Perhaps they are looking for consolation wins. In fact, they lost the last game on the final ball against RCB. After losing 3 wickets on 28, Tilak Verma (57) and Naman Dhir (47) guided them to 166. The bowlers had the game in their control after picking 3 wickets in the first five overs. But they couldn’t defend 15 runs in the last over and lost the game by 3 wickets.

Ryan Rickelton will open the innings with Rohit Sharma. The duo had scored 143 runs in 11 overs in the Mumbai Indians' win over LSG while chasing 229. Sharma has 106 runs in the last two games at a strike rate of 200. Rickelton is their leading run-scorer with 382 runs at a strike rate of 188.17 - the highest among the batters. He will be the batter to watch out for. Naman Dhir will come in at number three. Dhir scored 47 in the last game. He is the only second batter in the squad to score more than 300 runs this season.

Surya Kumar Yadav is struggling with his form. He has just 195 runs at a strike rate of 144. Tilak Verma has been the backbone for the Mumbai Indians in the middle. Verma scored a half-century (57) in the last game. With Hardik Pandya ruled out, the Mumbai Indians have added Will Jacks to the squad. But he has scored just 67 runs in 4 games.

Just like PBKS, the bowling unit has been Mumbai’s headache this season. Who would have thought Bumrah would take just 3 wickets in 11 games at an average of 116? Corbin Bosch will be the bowler to watch out for. He has picked up 4 wickets in the last game to take his tally to 7 wickets in 3 games. Ali Ghazanfar is their leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets in 11 games. Their bowlers have taken 5 wickets on average in the last 5 games.

Why can the Mumbai Indians win this game?

The Mumbai Indians have chased 229 runs against LSG and had almost beaten RCB in the last game. If Rohit Sharma and Rickelton bring the mojo from the game against LSG, where they scored 143 runs in the first 11 overs, the sky is the limit for the Mumbai Indians.

Key Players: Ryan Rickelton, Tilak Verma, Corbin Bosch.

Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing XI:

Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Will Jacks, Raj Bawa, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar.
