PBKS vs MI Team Preview
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings appeared out of rhythm in their last match, losing to Delhi Capitals by six wickets. After the IPL 2025 resumption, their openers consistently fail to provide the strong starts they delivered earlier. The bowling unit also seems ineffective, as the neutral venue for their remaining matches doesn’t suit them like New Chandigarh and Dharamshala, where they previously won games.
This upcoming match proves crucial for securing a top-two spot in the qualifiers, offering an extra advantage. If Punjab wins, they will claim the top position and play in the qualifier; however, a substantial loss will drop them to third, forcing them to play the eliminator. They will aim to play aggressive, fighting cricket against an in-form Mumbai Indians.
Openers Prabhsimran and Priyansh must deliver a solid start. Iyer thrives in his new fourth-position role, while Josh Inglis, at third, must maintain his rhythm and take time to settle. The lower order should continue scoring runs, as they have been, to secure a victory.
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians ride a winning streak, appearing unstoppable. Each player in their unit clearly understands their role in the team’s success. Their last match against Delhi perfectly showcased this. After losing early wickets and seeing their run rate drop, MI struggled, but SKY took charge, settled at the crease, and hit big, finishing unbeaten on 73 runs off 43 balls.
The playing XI needs no replacements, as the openers through the lower order perform in top form. Rohit Sharma, who played brilliant back-to-back fifties, must maintain that rhythm in the upcoming matches. The middle order faces no issues, with Tilak and Surya delivering consistently and pushing the team’s total to challenging heights for opponents.
The bowling unit drives Mumbai Indians’ success, boasting the best lineup with Boult, Bumrah, Santner, and Chahar. All bowlers perform, with Bumrah and Boult securing breakthroughs in the powerplay, preventing opponents from building partnerships. MI expects this trend to continue in upcoming matches. Although Punjab also enjoys good form, MI’s current performance surpasses theirs, giving MI the upper hand.
