Info: 

• With Shikhar Dhawan expected to miss out through injury, we are backing Jonny Bairstow to step up at the top of the order and to be Punjab Kings’ highest run scorer against Mumbai Indians. Arshdeep Singh has taken seven wickets from three matches in Mullanpur and the left-arm pacer is our tip for Punjab Kings’ top wicket taker in this game.
• Rohit Sharma struck 105 not out against Chennai Super Kings and has 192 runs from his last three innings. He is our pick for Mumbai Indians’ highest run scorer against Punjab Kings. Jasprit Bumrah has taken two five-wicket hauls across his T20 career and he is a strong choice for Mumbai Indians’ top wicket taker in this match.
• With an excellent record at this venue so far this season, we recommend selecting Arshdeep Singh to take over 1.5 wickets in this fixture.

Toss Predictions: 

Two of the three IPL matches in Mullanpur have been won by the team chasing a total in the second innings. We predict that both sides will want to field first.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

According to the forecast, it will be very warm with some cloud cover during this match. Humidity levels are not expected to go any higher than 55%.

Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium has produced three close contests so far in the 2024 IPL. Pace bowlers should get swing and movement with the new ball so it will be important for batters to get through the powerplay with wickets in hand. Overall, it should be a wicket which provides a good contest between bat and ball with a par score no higher than 190.

Winning Chances: 

There are some fine T20 players in action in this game but it looks like Mumbai Indians have far more strength in the batting department than Punjab Kings. Both teams will be hoping to climb the table over the coming weeks but we are backing Mumbai Indians, who lost to the 2023 Champions CSK in their last game, to come out on top and win this match on Thursday.

Mumbai Indians to beat Punjab Kings.

Punjab Kings a 54% chance to win this match 

Mumbai Indians a 46% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Punjab Kings 

Jonny Bairstow 

The English right-handed opener has struggled in Mullanpur so far this campaign with scores of 9, 0 and 15 but he has a brilliant T20 record.

Liam Livingstone 

The batting all-rounder impressed on his return to the team and will be looking to build on his 21 runs from 14 balls in the match against Rajasthan Royals.

Arshdeep Singh 

The left-arm swing bowler was expensive in the last match in Mullanpur but still picked up the key wicket of Riyan Parag.

Sam Curran 

The all-rounder has an exceptional record when bowling at the death and dismissed Rovman Powell before getting Keshav Maharaj in the 19th over in Match 27.

PBKS Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Rahul Chahar, Ashutosh Sharma, Vidwath Kaverappa, Harpreet Bhatia, Nathan Ellis 

Ashutosh Sharma came into the side to boost the batting with Prabhimsran Singh replaced. Sharma could push for a starting place in this game with Nathan Ellis a candidate to come in during the fielding innings.

Mumbai Indians 

Rohit Sharma 

The experienced opener was back to his best in the last game with 11 fours and five sixes. He has now hit eight centuries in this format across his career.

Suryakumar Yadav 

The right-hander has made two ducks since recovering from injury but has also posted a half-century and he will be excited to play in his first IPL game in Mullanpur.

Hardik Pandya 

Rishabh Pant has batted beautifully so far in IPL 2024. He has played some terrific knocks for his side and batted as if he was never away from the game. Pant has scored 194 runs, including a couple of fifties.

Jasprit Bumrah 

The right-arm pace bowler went wicketless in the last game but he is a top performer and had taken seven wickets across the two previous matches.

MI Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Akash Madhwal, Dewald Brevis, Nehal Wadhera, Harvik Desai, Naman Dhir 

Suryakumar Yadav is likely to be substituted out of the side for the fielding innings as he continues to look for full fitness. Akash Madhwal was expensive during the fielding innings so could struggle to get in for this game.

PBKS Team Form: 

Punjab Kings have been competitive in their last three games but have won only one of those matches.
