Mumbai Indians will take on Punjab Kings in TATA IPL on Wednesday, 13 April 2022 at 19:30 PM IST
Can Mumbai Indians end their losing streak in this match against PBKS? or will they face another heartbreak?
Mumbai Indians (MI) Team Updates:
Mumbai are having a nightmare in the ongoing season of IPL.
The frustrations was easily understandable on the face of Rohit Sharma in the last match.
They have lost all the 4 games that they have played so far in the season.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan will probably open the inning.
Ishan Kishan is having topmost fantasy points in this series.
Dewald Brevis will bat at the one-down position.
Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma will handle the middle-order batting.
Suryakumar Yadav was the highest fantasy points gainer in the previous match. After he has joined the team he has been in sublime form.
Rohit Sharma will lead the Mumbai Indians as a Captain. He is also a good Batsman
Ishan Kishan will do the Wicket-Keeping for Mumbai Indians.
Murugan Ashwin and Dewald Brevis will take care of the spin bowling of his team.
Basil Thampi and Jasprit Bumrah will lead the pace attack of his team.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) Team Updates:
Punjab Kings would be gutted after their terrible bowling performance against Gujarat Titans in the previous game of IPL 2022.
They lost the game from nowhere mainly due to their overseas pace duo of Kagiso Ragada and Odean Smith.
Odean Smith couldn’t defend 12 runs off 2 balls, and this is as bad as it could get. Their batting looks alright at the moment but it is their bowling which is pathetic.
Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal will probably open the inning.
Mayank Agarwal will lead the Punjab Kings as a Captain. He is also a good Batsman
Jonny Bairstow will do the Wicket Keeping for Punjab Kings.
With the fire power of Jonny Bairstow at the top of the order, they can certainly go for Benny Howell, who may not be a fierce six hitter like Odean Smith but provides much better control than Odean Smith with the ball.
Jonny Bairstow will bat at the one-down position.
Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma will handle the middle-order batting.
Liam Livingstone and Rahul Chahar will take care of the spin bowling of his team.
Rahul Chahar has taken 7 wickets in this season and has an overall economy rate of 6.3 which is very good
Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh will lead the pace attack of his team.
There are high chances that they may consider bringing in Benny Howell for Odean Smith who is an experienced T20 veteran from Hampshire.
Head to Head: 28
MI: 15 Won PBKS: 13 Won
