• Punjab Kings have lost their last three games in this year’s IPL after beginning the season with a tight victory over Rajasthan Royals. If they are to get their season going again then the runs will probably come from their skipper and wicket-keeper KL Rahul who has hit scores of 91, 5, 61 and 4. With the ball, their greatest threat has come from Arshdeep Singh who has taken 5 wickets at the cost of only 95 runs.
• Mumbai Indians lost their last match, going down by 6 wickets to Delhi Capitals, the first time they have lost to them since Game 3 in the 2019 IPL. Runs have come primarily from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav with the latter the only Mumbai batsman to register a half-century so far in the tournament. Rahul Chahar leads the attack in terms of wickets taken, although Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah have also been impressive.
• It will be interesting to see if Punjab opt to give first appearances of the season to their English duo of Chris Jordan and Dawid Malan. Mumbai Indians may be tempted to recall Australian Chris Lynn who hit 49 in their first game of the campaign but hasn’t been selected since.

PBKS vs MI Match Toss Prediction

Both captains won the toss in their previous games and elected to bat. However, they both lost the matches so they may well revert to chasing in this game.

PBKS vs MI Match Pitch Report

Most of the matches in Chennai have seen teams post scores in the range of 145 – 160. We expect similar totals in this game with the pitch particularly conducive for pace-off bowling.
